Two years ago Shelley Duncan was making waves in the Yankee outfield. This year he comes to spring training as a non roster invitee hoping to remind the team he still is a member of the organization.
With little left to prove at the minor league level all that stands in Duncan’s way is his sluggish [...]

When the winter began Manny Ramirez and his agent were out and about talking up his stock and pushing for more years. The Los Angeles Dodgers have not been shy about their desire to bring back the 36-year-old outfielder but only want to do so on a two-year deal.
The Dodgers offered Ramirez a two year [...]

It looks like it’s official. A.J. Burnett is headed to New York. The Yankees have signed the soon to be 32-year-old to a 5 year deal worth $82.5 million, that’s an average of $16.5 a year.
I’ve done enough complaining about Burnett here, here and here so this is more or less a recap. He’s started [...]

The Beatles once sang “Can’t buy me Love” but don’t tell the New York Yankees that. An unnamed said that “In the real world, Andy is probably now an $8 million a year pitcher at most… We are willing to pay $2 million more because we love him, because he is a Yankee and we [...]

It appears that the New York Yankees weren’t about to see the Atlanta Braves sign often injured and over thirty pitcher A.J. Burnett to a huge contract.
Instead the Yankees have now become the front runners offering between $85 and $91 million over five years for the right hander who has made thirty starts just twice [...]

While Mike Mussina hasn’t told the Yankees whether he will retire or be back for one more season manager Joe Girardi revealed Friday that the 39-year-old pitcher told him he was probably going to retire at the end of last season.
Mussina recently was selected for his seventh Gold Glove and finished the 2008 season with [...]

Mike Mussina picked up his 14th win of the season Saturday defeating the Los Angeles Angels. Mussina allowed just one run over seven innings allowing two hits, striking out five and walking two.
For the Angels the loss ended a five game win streak, for Mussina the win was the 264th of his career.
This season has [...]

New York Yankees pitc… uh, injury riddled Carl Pavano is set to appear in a big league stadium tomorrow night.
Though instead of trying to get big league hitters out he’ll be serving up batting practice fast balls but when you consider that the Yankees have gotten just 19 starts over the four year $39.95 million [...]

Ten years ago the New York Yankees traded away Eric Milton, along with a few other minor league parts for Chuck Knoblauch. Knoblauch who may end up being remembered more for this awful throwing at the end of his career or his steroid use ended up helping the Yankees win three consecutive World Series rings [...]

I turned on the broadcast of the Yankees and Indians game to see that Mike Mussina was pitching out of trouble in the bottom of the fifth inning. Mussina was already over 80 pitches but did manage to escape the inning allowing just two runs despite having the bases loaded with no outs at one [...]

This is one tough task but I’ve decided to try and fine a reason to like each of the 30 teams in major league baseball. Now some were easier to find then others and while some will disagree for the reasoning I’ve done my best I think.
I hope to continue this series by creating a [...]

 The revolving door at first base is something we’ve come to depend on when it comes to the New York Yankees and Spring Training.
This year the team again questions wheter Jason Giambi has anything left in the tank after hitting just .236 with 14 homers last season.
One guy hoping to earn his way onto the [...]

After being taken in the first round of the 1990 amatuer draft Mussina was assigned to Dobule-A Hagerstown working 4 scoreless innings in his debut. In total hehad 11 starts that season he allowed more then 2 runs only once.
The following season Mussina was promoted to the big league roster at the end of July [...]

As predicted here Alex Rodriguez is back with the New York Yankees. Earlier this year Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach the 500 home run treshold. Rodriguez now is set to be guaranteed 275 million over the course of a new ten year contract.
Jeff Passan ranked all 144 free agents.

When I awoke this morning I knew the Boston Red Sox had won the World Series but like most other people I was more interested in hearing what the New York Yankees were doing.
I turned on the radio for a short drive to the 1/4 mile track and in the sport briefs I heard a [...]
