YANKEES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Brian Cashman Finds Hitting Coach Kevin Long’s Comment About Mark Teixeira’s Wrist ‘Alarming’
Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long said what other people were thinking on Saturday. General manager Brian Cashman would prefer if he hadn’t.
Long said Saturday that he wasn’t sure Mark Teixeira’s wrist “has been right” since the slugger came off the disabled list on May 31. That drew the ire of Cashman, who didn’t like that his hitting coach came out and said such to a...
Three Thoughts on One Vernon Wells
It could have worked out so perfectly. The Yankees’ acquisition of Vernon Wells appeared to be unwise at the time, but they’d be looking to him as a backup, who needed only to fake it as a starter while Curtis Granderson was hurt. Pretty bad gamble, sure, but we’re given only one reality, and when Granderson debuted on May 14, Wells had an .875 OPS. It was up in four-digit...
Yankees rumors: Active trade deadline likely for New York
The New York Yankees had to get active on the trade and free
agent markets earlier than expected this season, as spring training injuries
caused the team to make multiple transactions before the regular season even
began. General manager Brian Cashman told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that he doesn’t
expect that level of busyness to change with the summer trade season approaching...
Shocker: Kevin Youkilis is on DL and Brian Cashman is all aflutter
I had to laugh to keep from cringing when my Red Sox friend Johnny pointed out to me Brian Cashman's latest pontificating on the state of the Yankees. Specifically, my friend cited Cashman telling the media yesterday this shocking news about Kevin Youkilis: that "back issues usually don’t get better." Gee, you think? Next thing you know, Cash will figure out that...
Yankees' Michael Pineda progressing on rehab assignment
New York Yankees' pitcher Michael Pineda continues to make strides on his rehab assignment and will make his next Minor League start on Thursday for Class A Advanced Tampa.
As reported by Bryan Hoch of MLB.com,
"Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the 24-year-old is
expected to throw about 80 pitches in the outing against the Blue Jays'
Florida...

After going 4-6 and falling to third place in the AL East, you’d be hard pressed to find a Yankees fan distraught to have the team back home after this West Coast road trip.
Getting swept by the Athletics and losing two of three to the Halos, the Yankees are now 8-11...
Yankees’ Jayson Nix succeeding in a thankless situation
Jayson Nix, the do-it-all infielder for the New York Yankees, is in an unenviable position. He has been charged with filling in for the injured Derek Jeter, a task as impossible as…taking the place of Dumbledore at Hogwarts.
With Jeter out, Jayson Nix has stepped up
Fans in the Bronx don’t want to see anyone other than Derek Jeter at shortstop. First, because he is good. Because...
Yankees GM may put Teixeira on DL
Slumping Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira could be sidelined a while longer because of his ailing right wrist.
"I haven't done anything, but I'm leaning toward the disabled list," New York general manager Brian Cashman said Monday on a conference call.
Teixeira missed the first 53 games of the season because of a wrist injury. The All-Star slugger is hitting...

Yankees avoid sweep, snap five-game losing streak
The New York Yankees avoided being swept for the second time in the last week with a win over the Los Angeles Angels in the third and final game of their weekend series on Sunday. Yankees’s closer Mariano Rivera struck out high-priced slugger, Albert Pujols, with the bases loaded and shut down the Angels five-run, ninth- inning rally, earning
Yankees' Alex Rodriguez ran bases this weekend
There will still be many firsts since surgery for Alex Rodriguez. This marks one of them. On Saturday the veteran slugger ran the bases at the New York Yankees' facility down in Tampa Bay for the first time since his hip surgery. It was a positive step for Rodriguez, but the team still ins't exactly sure when he will return.
According to Andy McCullough of the New...
Teixeira to have wrist examined
Mark Teixeira left Saturday’s game early after he appeared to re-aggrivate his wrist. He has flown back to New York to have it examined.
Teixeira missed the first two months of the season with a serious wrist injury, so this news is not good for the Yankees. Toronto slugger Jose Bautista suffered the same injury last season and eventually came back. Only a few games into his return...
Yankees Tom Kahnle, Mark Montgomery Could Provide Bullpen Depth
The New York Yankees are in need of a shakeup at the major league level even if it is mainly on offense. The Yankees have an above average pitching staff but an anemic lineup, and with so many players headed to Free Agency, will need to make a lot of decisions as they approach the trade deadline.While players like Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Hiroki Kuroda represent no trade...
Take pictures, gather momentos, teasure each moment: The Yankees are now in the Chris Bootcheck Era
Chris Bootcheck, the 34-year-old lugnut from Scranton - by way of Anaheim and Yokohama Bay, Japan - soldiered in last night, to not only pitch the eighth inning but to personify the 2013 Yankees, a team whose symbol has morphed from a pack of fighting underdogs into a flaming bag of dog doo on your front stoop.We're left with the same decision Brian Cashman faces over the next...
Yankees bring Neal up, Adams sent down
The Yankees have called up outfielder Thomas Neal from Triple-A Scranton prior to tonight’s game with the Angels. Infielder David Adams has been sent down to make room on the roster.
Adams started off on the right foot with the Yankees but has since cooled off, picking up just two hits in his last 25 at-bats. Neal, 25, put up a batting line of .339/.426/.446 with two homers and...
Spoiler Alert: Lyle Overbay can't play right field and Youkilis is a shambling shadow of himself
Last night, the Evil Empire didn't look so evil. Forget the 6-4 score. That was us covering the spread. We pulled four runs from the garbage bag in the late innings, then left just enough runners on base to keep fans from getting to sleep. All we accomplished was saving Mo for a night, and forcing them to use their closer. Hooray. I never thought I would say this, but we miss...
