NICK SWISHER RUMORS & GOSSIP

If Tuesdays weren't deadline day at work and super busy as a result, this fan girl would've been up at the crack of dawn to see the Giants' championship parade in New York City this morning. I have fond memories of attending the New York Yankees parade in 2009 with my brother, almost being crushed by a wave of rabid fans. Of course, this is my favorite photo of that day...

So we're going to take a break from football talk today to mention how I am right at this moment catching up on Royal Pains, one of my guilty pleasure tv shows (and boy, do I have a lot of them!) Joanna Garcia is guess starring in this episode from last night - she is just too adorable. I hated her in Reba but I've liked her in just about everything else she's ever done...

It’s easy to forget how terrible Nick Swisher was at the beginning of last season, so let me remind you. On June 1 the outfielder was batting .213 with three homers and 20 RBI. Compare that to the year before when he was batting .317 with nine homers and 28 RBI at the same point. Swisher won’t come close to batting .300, and even .280 is a bit of a stretch, but he would...

Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was set to be one of this offseason’s biggest targets, thanks to his five-tool potential and the success he had last season in the Cuban league. After defecting his free agency was put on hold as he attempted to establish residency in the Dominican Republic. Now that he has completed that, Cespedes is likely to be granted free agency any day, which...

Yankees OF Nick Swisher is disappointed with his team's showing last season, so he wants to put the squad back on the map. 

The Indians have been looking to upgrade their outfield and one of the options they considered is Nick Swisher, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. A trade of Swisher seems very unlikely this offseason though. The biggest problem is that it would be hard to get a return on Swish that would make it worth trading him. They might consider a deal for Fausto Carmona or Justin Masterson...

The Potential The big rumor of the week circling the Yankees has been their overwhelming interest in Cuban defector, Yoennis Céspedes.  On the surface this move looks to be the end of Yankees fan favorite, Nick Swisher.  Céspedes is a natural center fielder with plus speed and a plus bat; and could very well be an upgrade [...] No related posts.

The Yankees fleeced the White Sox when they traded an inconsistent infielder and two not so promising prospects for Nick Swisher after the 2008 season. The idea at the time was that he was going to replace Jason Giambi at first base, but the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira a little more than a month later and Swish has been the starting right fielder ever since. EXPECTATIONS: Based...

It was only five games, but Nick Swisher‘s pathetic playoff performance has many fans thinking that it might be best for him to move on. However, according to Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York, the Yankees plan on exercising his $10.25 million option to keep him in Pinstripes through 2012. This is a smart move even if you are of the belief that he isn’t very good. The...

Nick Swisher and his wife, Joanna Garcia, got married in December. Their first trip since being married will be a visit to Afghanistan, which could be considered their honeymoon.
