Red Sox Logos Leaked

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is.I don't know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it's great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already...

The jersey situation is more confusing than when I took AP Calculus in high school and spent more time playing 'Drug Wars' on my calculator than I did paying attention in class. Let me try to break it down..Home Games: Same jersey as last year, and same cap with the 'B' on it.Alternate Home Games: Red jerseys like last year, but with the blue cap shown in the image...

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 [...]

CC Sabathia's agent Greg Genske had a very good day today. On top of the large commission he is about to receive from the $160 million dollar contract, Genske orchestrated a fantastic contract for his most high profile client.The best part of this contract for Sabathia is the opt out clause ...

When I'm wrong, I admit it. I didn't think there was a chance in hell that the Yankees would sign CC Sabathia. I truly felt that he was playing the Yankees to get a contract with a west coast team. But, I was wrong, and I admit it! In the end, Brian Cashman was able to [...]

From ESPN:Former New York Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams has never retired. And there may be a reason why. ESPN's Bonnie Bernstein has learned Williams will fly to Puerto Rico next week to play winter ball with the hopes of representing Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic in March.T... ...

The Yankees now have the ace they needA to climb back toA prominanceA in the AL East.A But 7 years is a long time, and CC is a big boy.A Will he look like this in 2015?That would not be Oba Kaybe.

This morning, the Yankees bitch slapped the Mets by throwing out an insane figure to reel in the whale. CC Sabathia, perhaps last years most dominant pitcher, has agreed to a 7 year, $161 million dollar contract with New York (A), one day after New York (B) signed K-Rod, the most dominant closer last year in baseball, to a 3 year, $37 million dollar deal to help out the hapless bullpen...

The Yankees met with Ben Sheets today and Joe Girardi came away very impressed:"I faced Ben Sheets when I was with the Cubs and I've admired the work that he's done over the years. It was good to talk to him about his health, his routines and what he likes to do. He's a very open young man and ...

Tomorrow night is the non-tender deadline, just as Sunday was the deadline for players to accept arbitration ( Weathers and Oliver were the only ones to accept) tomorrow night at midnight is the deadline for teams to tender contracts to players still in their control years. The only Met at risk ...

Monday at the Winter MeetingsA was the day many on-field managers began to arrive. One manager who was holding court in the lobby was Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who was hanging out with Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf.I approached both gentlemen, introduced myselfA and commented to Ozzie ...

It seems almost like a slap in the face, but the Mets intend to lower their payroll in 2009. The New York Times writes, As of Tuesday, even the idea of signing Raul IbaA?ez sounded like a longshot as word coming out of the Met camp is that the Wilpons are determined not to raise their payroll from last season, and ideally would even like to lower it from last year's $143 million...

So the Yankees have all but inked this year's top free-agent C.C. Sabathia, to seven-year $161 million contract. As a fan of a team that could never dream of dishing out that kind of dough, there's absolutely part of me that cringes at the thought of Sabathia taking his king's ransom to ply his trade [...]

Last night Jim Baumbach of Newsday joined us on our Day 1 Winter Meetings recap show. Jim gave his thoughts on the Hall of Fame, and why he believes the vote should not be in the hands of sports writers. He also told some interesting stories "from the lobby" about one of his most interesting [...]
