Relievers Joba Chamberlain and David Robertson have agreed to one-year contracts with the New York Yankees. Chamberlain, recovering from elbow ligament replacement surgery, gets $1,675,000 under Tuesday's agreement, up from $1.4 million last year. Robertson, who became an All-Star as Mariano Rivera's setup man in a breakout season, will earn $1.6 million, an increase from $460,450. He can make an additional $25,000 in performance bonuses. Both deals are not guaranteed. Chamberlain went 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 relief appearances before surgery on June 16. Robertson was 4-0 with one save and a 1.08 ERA in a team-high 70 relief appearances.

If John Elway Played For the Yankees

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  January 16, 2012
The weekend was awash with playoff football as four games were played to decide which four teams would play for the league championships. One of the games on Saturday featured the New England Patriots at home against the Denver Broncos. That game, of course, held everyone's attention because of the match up between Tom Brady and Tim Tebow. Brady destroyed the Broncos and Tebow...

Ranking The MLB Rotations

Via The Outside Corner  |  January 18, 2012
After the Yankees acquired Michael Pineda from the Mariners and signed Hiroki Kuroda last week, cries immediately started coming out of the Big Apple that the Yankees once again had one of the most superior rotations in the league, despite still lacking a fifth starter. I began to fall deep into thought and wonder just what the best rotations in the game were. Here's a look at...

How the Pineda Deal Helps A.J. Burnett

Via Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest  |  January 17, 2012
One winner not discussed in the Yankees blockbuster deal that imported Michael Pineda is A.J. Burnett. We all know that Burnett is paid like a top-of-the-rotation starter, but his performance resembles a typical fifth starter. He’s an inconsistent innings eater that struggles to produce an overall league average performance. With the acquisition of Pineda, Burnett becomes the...

Yankees Interested in Matsui

Via NYY Universe  |  January 16, 2012
via Jon Heyman of CBS Sports | There has been “some contact” between the Yankees and free agent Hideki Matsui. The Yankees reportedly only have $1-2 million in their budget for a DH, so Matsui might be a cheaper option than either Carlos Pena or Johnny Damon. The 37-year-old batted .251/.321/.375 with 12 homers and [...]

A baseball card mystery: Thurman Munson and who?

Via The Hardball Times  |  January 18, 2012
Jorge Posada’s impending retirement has me thinking about great Yankee catchers. I’m not old enough to have seen Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra or Elston Howard in live action, but I’ve been fortunate to see both Posada and Thurman Munson up close and personal. Posada will be an interesting case for Hall of Fame discussion. His late start, coupled with his defensive shortcomings...

Yankees, Hideki Matsui Have Been In Contact

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  January 16, 2012
There has been some contact between Hideki Matsui and the Yankees this offseason, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. The Yankees, who have also been in touch with Johnny Damon, appear to have just $1-2MM to spend on a DH. That would likely be enough to sign the 37-year-old Matsui, who’s coming off a disappointing season in Oakland.   Matsui posted a .251/.321/.375 line with...
