MLB Rumors: Should the Yankees Re-Sign Nick Swisher?

Via FootBasket  |  September 24, 2012
The New York Yankees are believed to have had no extension talks with Nick Swisher yet. Word going around is that Swisher, the Yankees’ eternally upbeat right field power supply, may seek a monster contract when he hits free agency at the end of the year. To baseball fans, that is well-known to mean about $126 million over seven years. In other words, it’s a lot more money than...

The New York Yankees rookies prepared for the final road trip of the season by dressing up as some of the best-known characters from the "Star Wars" films after Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Oakland A's.

Brett Gardner Injury: Yankees Activate OF for Stretch Run

Via MLB Injury News  |  September 25, 2012

I had just one small request yesterday for the Toronto Blue Jays: That they take one game in their doubleheader against the Orioles. Request granted. Had they not done that, and had the Yankees lost last night, the Orioles would be in sole possession of first place this morning. But the Yankees lead by 1.5 games, so all  is well in Yankees Universe right now.Right now. Things could...

Key pitching move backfires on Girardi

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 26, 2012
The numbers backed up Joe Girardi's decision to bring in Boone Logan to face Denard Span with the bases loaded and two out in the seventh inning Tuesday night. Logan's performance, however, opened up the New York Yankees manager to plenty of second-guessing. Logan entered the game with the Yankees leading the Twins by two runs after Phil Hughes had held Minnesota to one...
