In the coming weeks, the New York Yankees will discuss expanding their payroll with hopes of landing a free-agent pitcher to add to their starting rotation.
With spring training five weeks away, there are still several serviceable pitchers on the market like Bartolo Colon, Jeff Francis, Jon Garland, Rich Harden, Edwin Jackson, Hiroki Kuroda, Kevin Millwood, Roy Oswalt, Brad Penny, Joel Pineiro, and Joe Saunders to name a few.
According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, “they’re [Yankees] still talking to Kuroda, Jackson, and Oswalt, but nothing is close.”

On the heels of the news, via WFAN’s Sweeny Murti tweet, that New York Yankees Jorge Posada was retiring, reading the headline ‘Rivera will decide on retirement by spring training,’ made me want to puke.
That headline came from an article by Rob Abruzzese over at the uber-popular Bronx Baseball Daily, also a personal favorite blog that I visit regularly...

With the talks of Jorge Posada hanging up his catchers gear for good in the next few weeks, there has been a lot of talk circulating as to whether or not the Yankees should eventually retire his number. Personally, I am a huge fan of Jorge; however, I do not feel his number should be [...]

It has been the question that has driven N.Y. baseball fans around the water cooler for the past nine years: Reyes or Jeter? This may seem like an odd time to have this discussion with Jeter being on the tail end of his career and Reyes bringing his shaved eyebrows down to Miami, but it’s time we settle the score once and for all. Let’s face it, this may be the...

Scott Proctor Signs In Korea
Reliever Scott Proctor signed with Korea's Doosan Bears, reports Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net. The team added Dustin Nippert back in November.
Proctor, 35, pitched for the Braves and Yankees in 2011. He posted a 7.14 ERA, 6.5 K/9, 6.9 BB/9, 2.5 HR/9, and 31.6% groundball rate in 40 1/3 innings. Proctor's average fastball velocity was up to 93.8 miles per hour, but it...
Jorge Posada Comes to the End of the Line
With the Giants making short work of the dirty birds from Atlanta, the Knicks finding their way into the season and the Jets melting down, there's precious little space for other sports news right now.
That's a shame, because the news that broke over the weekend about Jorge Posada deserved a bigger moment in the spotlight. Sweeney Murti of WFAN reported Saturday that Posada...

Andy Carey, third baseman for the New York Yankees dynasty of the 1950s that won four straight American League pennants and two World Series, has died at 80.
Yanks may make pitch for Jackson
The Yankees may open their wallet again this offseason, after all.
A source confirmed that team owner Hal Steinbrenner met with Scott Boras, the agent for Edwin Jackson, about potentially working out a deal for the right-hander.
If that sounds familiar, the two also talked last year around this time...
