Teixeira Going To The Yankees...
2008-12-23 21:35:00 It looks like the Yankees have swooped in and got Teixeira.From Boston.com: Sports Illustrated.com and ESPN's Peter Gammons are both reporting that the New York Yankees are on the verge of signing first baseman Mark Teixeira to an eight-year, $180 million contract.It looks like New York -- as some thought -- may have swept him away with a last minute surprise (or they just kept things hush-hush). The deal is contingent on the slugger passing a physical, and it looks like Boras might have pulled out an old card -- going to the Yankees for a last minute deal (can anyone say Johnny Damon?).Obviously spending a ton of money doesn't necessarily mean a World Series or the playoffs; however, one must think the Yankees are indeed the favorites now to take the AL East title.I guess a year where New York finished in third place, plus a new ballpark have turned them to revert to opening up the checkbook and spending freely.For a team asking for more money to subsidize their ballpark, they su...

***TEIXEIRA GOES TO YANKEES For $180 Million!!!***
2008-12-23 21:33:00 What the...? It's true. From ESPN dot com and ESPN radio and ESPN HD..."Free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira has reached agreement with the New York Yankees on an eight-year contract worth more than $170 million, two sources involved in the negotiations tells ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.The Yankees swooped in on Teixeira on Tuesday when it was believed the Boston Red Sox or the Washington Nationals were the likeliest to be his future employer. The Red Sox's offer was believed to be in the range of $170 million, and the Nationals reached out with an offer perhaps greater than that of Boston.Teixeira finished last season with the Los Angeles Angels following a trade from Atlanta. The Angels withdrew from negotiations on Sunday night, in a very public manner, and say they were moving on to other players.Teixeira had made it clear that he wanted to make a decision on where to play next season and beyond by Christmas."Gee...my goodness.

Teixeira Saga Coming To An End Soon? What About The Yankees?
2008-12-21 18:41:00 It seems to be the whole Mark Teixiera hunt according to those in the know from mlb.com may soon be coming to an end.At this point, I just think that if Teixeira really, really wanted to sign with someone, he would have done so. Obviously, he and his agent Scott Boras are playing an interesting game of financial chicken -- to get the most money out of a team who'll be hoodwinked into signing him.I think Teixeira is a fine player; however, do I think he's being close to A-Rod or Albert Pujols at the plate -- no. Despite what I feel, he's probably the surest thing on the market and he'll get what someone wants to pay him.MLB.com: Decision day could be right around the corner for Mark Teixeira, according to a Major League source familiar with the negotiations. The source anticipates the free-agent first baseman's highly anticipated announcement within the next few days.The field of serious bidders from Day 1 includes the Red Sox, Nationals, Angels and Orioles, with the depth of th...

Yankees Land AJ Burnett
2008-12-13 11:51:00 The New York Yankees dipped into their oversized wallets yet again and signed pitcher AJ Burnett to a five year contract worth $82.5 million. Last year, the often injured hurler had a great second half. Overall, his record was 18-11 with an ERA of 4.07. For him, it was a great season with many tremendous starts against the Boston Red Sox and his new team. It's a gamble the Yankees are taking though...Burnett rarely pitches more than 200 innings, as he did in '08. Hankie Steinbrenner had this to say after his club picked up its second starting pitcher within one week..."I can sense the excitement and the confidence that's spreading around the entire organization about what we're getting done and what we may get done still," the Yankees' co-chairman told The Associated Press before news of the Burnett deal came out Friday. "A rising tide lifts all boats, and the confidence and the excitement right now among the team and the organization is contagious."Peter here. Does he mean con...
YANKEES Are Still Busy...
2008-12-11 18:01:00 From the NY Daily News, just a few minutes ago..."The Yankees have found their center fielder for 2009, as they are set to send Melky Cabrera to Milwaukee for veteran outfielder Mike Cameron on Thursday, according to two major league sources.The Yankees have been saying that Cabrera and Brett Gardner would compete for the center field job, but the acquisition of Cameron gives them a veteran presence at the position. Many believed Cabrera would be the center fielder of the future entering the 2008 campaign, but a disappointing season, in which he hit .249 with eight homeruns and 37 RBIs in 129 games, led many to believe he was destined for a future as a utility outfielder. Yankees blue-chip prospect Austin Jackson is not expected to be ready for big league action until at least 2010, making Cameron the ideal one-year stopgap in center field. Cameron, a former Met, hit .243 with 25 HRs and 70 RBIs in 120 games last season. He will earn $10 million in 2009."Peter here. Big deal, huh? W...

An Okie Dokie Oops...Yankees 3 Red Sox 2 **BECKETT SIDELINED AGAIN. HE WILL
2008-08-29 11:11:00 Game three of the Red Sox/Yankee series was a tough one to watch, but only from the 7th inning onward. Before then, Lester was superb and kept the 2-0 Boston lead intact. Here's what manager Tito Francona thought of Lester's 6 2/3 innings, a span in which he gave up just 1 earned run and 5 base hits while walking NONE and striking out 8... "I thought he was tremendous," Francona said. "His fastball was explosive. He threw all his pitches. He was tremendous. It's a shame the way the game ended.Peter here, and Tito is right. Lester rebounded completely from his disastrous start against the Blue Jays, and we know we can count on him for the balance of this season and many, many more to come. But then there was Okie, who's been effective lately. But he threw a belt-high fastball, exactly the wrong pitch in exactly the wrong location, to pinch hitter Jason Giambi. Two seconds later, that ball was in the centerfield stands, flying over the 408 foot sign on the wall. 2-2. Justin Master...

Red Sox Annihilate Listless & Lethargic Yankees...Boston 11 NYY 3
2008-08-28 11:10:00 The Boston Red Sox continued to play great road baseball, a source of problems earlier in the season, and pummeled the lazy, non-caring looking New York Yankees by a lopsided score of 11-3. They broke open the game and put a dagger into the heart of the Yankees' playoff hopes when they scored 7 runs in a magical 8th inning, highlighted by a grand slam by the best second baseman in the league, Dustin "Pedey" Pedroia. Newcomer Jason Bay (more about him later) had this to say about the pint-sized hitting machine..."He's a beauty. He's kind of, I think, the Energizer Bunny for this team," Bay said. "You know, he's the one that stirs stuff up. Every team has got to have that guy."Jason, you put it perfectly. And speaking of Bay, he has had a tremendous start with his new club. Since coming over to the Good Guys, he's batting .347 with 4 home runs and an astounding 24 RBIs. Take that, Sir Manny! He's had 6 RBIs in his first 2 games against New York. Great job, Jason. His teammate, D...

Game #13...Boston Red Sox 7 New York Yankees 3...KOTSAY TO BOSTON (?)
2008-08-27 11:29:00 Tuesday was an all-around great day for the Boston Red Sox. In their last ever series at Yankee Stadium (barring a miracle), they defeated the New York Yankees by a score of 7-3, Toronto beat up on the first place Rays and the club found out that Josh Beckett will be able to return to the rotation on Friday evening. The Sox crept to within 3 1/2 games of those Rays and have a full three game wild card lead over the Twins and a 6 game lead over the pinstripers. That's a lot of reasons to be happy, but there's one more--a big one. Boston just might be playing their best baseball of the year at the most important time of this long season. That's just terrific! And keep reading to learn about the latest possible Red Sox acquisition, ANOTHER piece of great news.Tim Wakefield returned to the mound after an injury "time out" and was able to go five full innings, throwing 80 pitches while giving up just 3 runs on 8 hits. He walked one and struck out one and said this after his outing......
