Robinson Cano could have used some help from a trivia version of Mariano Rivera Thursday night. The Yankees second baseman jumped out to a big lead on movie star Denzel Washington but couldn't hold it.

Burnett will be toeing the rubber in PNC Park come April, and my feelings are surprisingly mixed on the subject. While I do genuinely believe that he may be the best option of the fifth starter triumvirate (mostly due to the higher beta of Phil Hughes and the blase nature of Freddy Garcia...

The rumors over the last couple of days are heating up for the Yankees. The talk is that they are shopping A.J. Burnett and the Pittsburgh Pirates may be interested. Burnett is owed 33 million over the last two years. The Yankees know they would need to eat anywhere from 25-27 million at least.

First of all, yes, I’ll admit it: I’m eating my words right now. After writing my aggressively-headlined “Good Luck Shopping A.J. Burnett, Yanks” piece on Wednesday, it turns out the Yankees have found at least one potential suitor for Burnett in the Pirates. The two sides are still haggling over how much money the Yankees should eat, but considering the Yankees...

Heyman Tweet #1Heyman Tweet #2Don't ask me what an "okay" prospect is, but it seems like these two teams aren't as close to a deal as we thought. At first we thought the Yankees would take a $23/$10 million split on Burnett's contract, but now they want the Pirates to come closer to 50/50. That's $16.5/$16.5 million, and I don't think there's any...
