Business Insider is reporting on a rumor they heard from TrimTabs blogger Dan Dorfman, saying that Yankees owners Hank and Hal Steinbrenner could be "amenable to a deal", in light of the Los Angeles Dodgers selilng for $2 billion.
While owning the Yankees is a guaranteed cash cow (the team brought in $435 million in revenue last year), selling the team could result in a financial windfall that could set the Steinbrenners up for generations. Analysts project a possible Yankees sale at between $3 and $4 billion, which would also include the team's 34% stake in the YES Network.
Despite Forbes's evaluation of the Yankees being worth $1.85 billion, the sale of the Dodgers for more than 30% more than the $1.4 billion evaluation Forbes gave them this season shows that there is a willingness to pay a premium based on the "brand" as opposed to the raw team itself. And there is no better brand in sports than the New York Yankees and their 40 pennants and 27 World...

Girardi: So far Phelps has passed with flying colors
One of the biggest pleasant surprises so far in this young 2012 season has to be the emergence of David Phelps.
It’s still early, but the 25-year-old righty has thrown 8.1 innings in three appearances and has only allowed one run while maintaining a 9.7 K/9 and a 2.2 BB/9. None of his four pitches have been overwhelming, but he has done a phenomenal job throwing strikes and...

From Mark Hale:The way things looked for Andy Pettitte after yesterday’s minor league outing, it seemed possible he would need just two more starts before rejoining the Yankees. Pettitte’s return to the major league seemed imminent, meaning Phil Hughes might get just two more turns to solve his woes.
Both Pettitte and Hughes, however, will be getting more time.

Mark Teixeira once again off to a slow start
With a career OPS of just .768, April is by far Mark Teixeira‘s worst month of his career. Last season he reversed that by putting up a .941 OPS in the first month, but that hasn’t lasted long as he is once again off to a slow start, putting up a lowly .639 OPS so far through the Yankees first nine games.
“I’ve gotten used to it,” Teixeira told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com...

One of the early surprises of the season is the offensive output of Derek Jeter. Going into tonight’s matchup against Minnesota, Jeter is hitting a robust .366 with 2 HRs and 6 RBI. The slow bat that turned him into a below league average hitter the last couple of years has disappeared. I was ready to see him get his 3,000th hit and start the countdown of when his contract will...

The detour was the latest delay in picking a jury, which U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said probably won't be completed until next week.
Pettitte is expected to testify that Clemens acknowledged...

The New York Yankees last night won the rubber game of their first series with the Pujolsian Edition of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. None of the games were particularly great, nor is there much to extrapolate based on the performances we saw...
