Here are a few interesting tidbits.. Matt Holliday's dad wanted to see him in pinstripes "If someone would have called me today and said Matt had gotten traded to the Yankees, I'd have been hunting for a place to celebrate," his dad said. Yankees finalizing off-season plans on Thursday Yankees management will confer Thursday, on the eve of the open free-agency period, to finalize their plans for off-season shopping. "We're going to be ready for Friday (the first day teams can discuss financial terms with outside free agents)," co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner said today. Teixeira drawn towards Yankees? The Yankees are likely to be one of several suitors for Mark Teixeira's services, and some who know him think the Bronx a likely destination.

  • That Texiera is one smart guy if he chooses the Yankees!
  • A genuine rocket scientist if he chose to play for a 3rd place team or did the Jays beat them out for 3rd?
  • Brilliant, going to play for a 4th place team of has-beens.
  • If Matt's dad had any sense, he wouldn't have made that remark. $$$ buys the best players and where have the Yankees gone lately?? With their over $250 million payroll, they should be winning the world series every year. If Holliday's a good guy he'll fit in, with the a's and do great! Pinstripes, please! It's bad enough I have to see swish wearing them next season. Talk about annoying fans. He should be proud to wear green and gold. Go A's!

  • Another useless comment from yet another braindead Californian. I hate to break the news to ya, but, probably the majority of the players on your A's team, along with 98% of MLB players, would do anything to put on the Legendary 26 Time World Series Champion New York Yankees Pinstripes. The Yankees will open the YES Network Vault this off-season and sign Teixeira, Manny, Sabathia, Burnett, Lowe, and trade for Holliday and any other thing they need, cause after all, we the the Greatest Professional Sports franchise in the Universe, and what we say, goes. So, run along little boy, and watch the Yankees step on anybody that gets' in they're way back to the playoffs, and another World Series title, they're 27th by the way in case you didn't know! While your pitiful A's get beaten like dogs again. Bwaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!
  • You people are really retarded....
  • That's pretty cocky talk there XTrust. Are we talking about the same Yankee franchise that has yet to win a championship in this century??? Enjoy your ancient history, loser.
  • ...TOOL...
  • more braindead comments...what a bunch of losers.
