Cameron No Longer an Option?

Word on the "street" is that Mike Cameron is close to signing a multi-year deal with the Chicago Cubs (h/t RAB). While this is good for Cameron and the Cubs, it is not good for the Yankees. Cameron was a possible option for the Yankees' 2010 outfield and now it appears the Yankees will not ...

Then They Go After Damon, Not Holliday or Bay

The Yankees first priority this offseason has been identified - resign Andy Pettitte. After that the Yankees will switch gears and focus on their hole in left field where their first choice, according to Buster Olney of ESPN, is Johnny Damon. Two players who aren't options according to Olney, Matt Holliday and Jason Bay. There are ...

Mets Inquired on Matsui's Health
Via MLBTR (h/t RAB), we've learned that the Mets inquired on the results of Hideki Matsui's physical. Obviously, this means the Mets could be interested in bringing in Matsui to play the field as he obviously can't DH for them. This development should make Matsui rather happy. It not only gives him the confidence that at ...
Yanks Make Right Call in Arbitration Offers
Once again the Yankees have offered none of their free agents arbitration and once again I think it was the right move. It's very tempting to want to offer the likes of Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, and Xavier Nady arbitration in hopes of acquiring extra draft picks when they leave; however, it is no sure bet ...
Matsui Needs To Be Let Go
Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui & Andy Pettitte Yankee Rumors
Yesterday, my busy newspaper-making Monday, was day 1 of the General Managers Meetings in Chicago. The big name thrown around the Yankees radar was John Lackey – just as Tim Dierkes expected. However, the Yankees have some housekeeping to do first. The contracts of Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Andy Pettitteare all expired, and it’s time to make some tough decisions. I’ll ...
Matsui Not A or B Free Agent
In a post I wrote on Sunday I identified Yankees outfielder/DH Hideki Matsui as a type-B free agent, meaning that if the Yankees offered him arbitration and he declined they would have been in line to receive a second round as compensation for losing him. Well since then the official Elias rankings have come out and ...
MLBTR’s Offseason Outlook
This is one post that every baseball fan should check out. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors looked at the top 50 free agents of the offseason and predicted where each would wind up before next spring. For the Yankees, he foresaw just one big move and a couple of re-signings. The ...
Yankees Have 7 Free Agents
The Yankees won the World Series and the next thing to do is to determine which players they are going to keep and which they are going to let go. They have seven free agents to make decisions on. Here is a list of those seven free agents including their 2009 salaries and free agents type: Johnny ...

Pettitte and Hideki Appreciation Post
With his win tonight, Andy Pettitte has won two World Series clinching games and has started three. He is one of the great Yankees to be apart of the four most recent championships. Hideki Matsui got his first ring tonight, and he was very deserving of the World Series MVP Award. He went 8-for-13 with 3 ...
