The Yankees have traded Wilson Betemit, Jeff Marquez, and Jhonny Nunez to the White Sox in exchange for Nick Swisher and Kanekoa Teixeira. Swisher will likely take over at first base for the Yankees, who need to fill the void now that Jason Giambi is a free agent. Jeff Marquez shows...

Who are the Yankees' first basemen options?
There are four that come to mind immediately: Jason Giambi, Shelley Duncan, Wilson Betemit and Morgan Ensberg. No, sadly, Tino is not one of them.

Once the Yankees turn their search outward World Series MVP and brief member of the 1998 championship team, Mike Lowell, will get a good look. Lowell was once a throw in player in the deal that sent Josh Beckett to Boston, but is coming off one of his strongest seasons of his career...

On paper, the Yankees trade for Nick Swisher looks fantastic. Not only can Swisher get on base, switch hit, and hit for power, but he is only 28 years old, entering the prime of his career. Swisher will either be the replacement at first base for Jason Giambi or the new starting center fielder ...

Cash is looking for somebody to replace Wilson Betemit and Nick Punto may be the guy. For a utility infielder he has a solid bat and he`s a gret defender. However, with all the Yankees money I`d be dissapointed if Punto spent significant time starting which a utility infielder is bound to do.

We all know the ugliness of Nick Swisher's postseason so far. It's one marred by bad swings, bad outs and a lot of frustration. When the Yankees acquired Swisher last winter, which was a steal of a trade and if you forgot all we gave up was Wilson Betemit, it wasn't expected...
