Yankees Trade Juan Miranda to DBacks for RHP Scott Allen

Posted on November 18, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees traded first baseman/DH Juan Miranda to the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Scottie Allen according to the Yankees PR Department. This was probably the minor deal Brian Cashman was talking about earlier in the week, not the Rafael DePaula move. Miranda was signed out of Cuba in 2006 and despite putting up decent numbers ...

Notes from Cashman: Nova to the Rotation, Joba to the bullpen, Aceves, and More

Posted on November 17, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

No, Brian Cashman and I don't pass notes to each other the way the girls in school used to. This is just a summary of the press conference he gave yesterday after the first day of the GM meetings in Florida.  Obviously we owe Chad Jennings of the Journal News credit for most of the ...

Yankees Notes: Pettitte, Miranda, Russo, Posada, Gardner

Posted on September 12, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees have dropped two in a row in walk-off style against the Texas Rangers and things won't get any easier today as they face Cliff Lee. Making things worse, the Tampa Bay Rays are within striking distance, just a half-game back, of first place. So there is a lot on the line this ...

Yankees Notes: A-Rod, Nova, Call-Ups, Sabathia

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

There were no updates yesterday because I was busy with a family member's wedding. There is a silver lining to that, on my way home I stopped at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and got plenty of great Yankees related pictures that I will post later today. If you have never been to ...

Jorge Posada's Career Will Never Be The Same Again

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Yesterday I wrote about the Yankees sending IF/OF Kevin Russo down when Jorge Posada was activated, but that's not what ended up happening. Instead they demoted 1B/DH Juan Miranda and the reason is because Jorge Posada is more of a DH than ever before. See, I knew that Posada was going to come back as a ...

Activate Posada -> Send Russo Down -> DFA Moeller -> Call Up Curtis

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees catcher Jorge Posada is probably coming off the DL today, but there is no clear choice of whom the Yankees will send down to the minors when they activate him. It could be back-up catcher Chad Moeller, but because of the nature of Posada's injury and the position he plays that's probably not a ...

Now Juan Miranda Gets Called Up

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Yankees minor league first baseman Juan Miranda would probably be in the major leagues if he were on at least 15 other teams around baseball, but he's a Yankee and stuck behind Mark Teixeira. It did make for interesting news the other day when he was almost called up only to find out that it ...

Juan Miranda Gets the Nod [Update]

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Eric Communiello
Juan Miranda come on down!

According to Joel Sherman, the Yankees have called up first baseman Juan Miranda for tonight's game against the Detroit Tigers.  Miranda, who bats lefty, will most likely platoon with Marcus Thames in the DH spot until Nick Johnson returns from his wrist injury. Miranda is off to a so-so start in Scranton this season, hitting .260 ...

Yankees Bench Seems Set with 5 More Cuts

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees cut five more players from the big league camp yesterday, outfielder Greg Golson, righties Mark Melancon and Jonathan Albaladejo, and infielders Juan Miranda and Kevin Russo, according to Marc Carig of The Star-Ledger. The cuts of Miranda and Russo have pretty much cemented the opening day bench ensuring a spot for Ramiro Pena. Backup ...
