What If the Yankees Don't Sign CC Sabathia?
It's the question that nobody wants to ask. With Yankee Land seemingly revolving around the gigantic left handed planet known as CC, we should take into thought what would happen should Sabathia spurn the Yankees $140 million dollar offer and sign elsewhere. I shutter to think.Would the world end?I suppose not. But I think some sort of mass hysteria would ensue in Yankee-ville. Fans...

Yankees meet with Sheets, Giambi to A's?
Bryan Hoch cites a New York Post report saying Yankees executives met with Ben Sheets late this afternoon. Sheets didn't arrive in Las Vegas until earlier today, so this makes sense. Sheets, 30, went 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 198 1/3 innings last seaso...
Cash Needs to Make Sure CC Doesn’t Pull a Maddux
It has been a long while since the Yankees faced competition in their pursuit of a free agent.

Several reports indicate that New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman met earlier today in Las Vegas with free agent pitcher CC Sabathia, one day after Cashman met with free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira and his agent Scott Boras in Maryland.

Robinson Cano trade rumors are false
Dodgers GM Ned Colletti and Yankee officials have stated that the two teams have not had any discussions about sending Cano to the Dodgers. This is exactly what I predicted. These are just a bunch of rumors for now. Colletti said that they haven't had any talks with the Yankees since July. That shows that the two teams haven't really gone anywhere in negotiations.

Tony Massarroti of the Boston Globe writes:
Though there is no indication that any deal is imminent or that the Sox have done anything more than kick the tires, the Sox have expressed some interest in the pitcher, according to a source. The Sox made Pettitte an offer several years ago when Pettitte signed with the [...]
Cash agrees on bench...
Sort of at least. Now we`re hearing that the Yanks have interest in Bill Hall of the Brewers and Nick Punto. Punto is okay but I think the Yankees should be able to do better than him, they may be even better off with Cody Ransom. Bill Hall is even worse and has a bad contract to. However, their ...

Rodriguez's deal, worth $37 million plus additional incentives, is pending a physical. It is a one-year increase over the two years and $24 million the Mets are said to have initially offered the closer, who broke the major league single-season saves record last...
Winter Meetings Preview
As NYBD has been reporting, the Mets still prefer Francisco Rodriguez to be the closer, with Brian Fuentes viewed more as option "1a". Kerry Wood falls behind both of them on the list. It's hard to believe the Mets won't just simply get who they want of the bunch. As long as K-Rod accepts a [...]
