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...

Rangers, Giants In On Penny?
According to the SFGiants.com, the Giants have some interest in free agent starter Brad Penny. Penny, who went 6-9 with a 6.27 ERA in 19 appearances for the Dodgers, won thirty-two games between 2006 and 2007. He would probably command a one year deal in the three to five million dollar range, something the Giants definitely can afford. Sources have informed me that the Rangers are...

This doesn't effect the Yankees so much as it does the Milwaukee Brewers, but if the Bombers were to sign Ben Sheets in addition to CC Sabathia the Beer Makers would miss out on an additional 1st-round draft pick.By signing Sabathia the Yankees forfeited one of their two 1st-round picks, but the ...
“Amber Alert” Helped Seal the Deal
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 [...]

The Rangers have three spots up for grabs in the bullpen, and are working to sign some under the radar pitchers in hopes that they turn around. Washington is very excited...
