The Yanks haven’t reached an agreement with Baldelli

Posted in Yankee News, Yankees Rumors, tagged , , on January 16, 2010| 2 Comments »

River Ave. Blues reported earlier today that the Yankees have reached an agreement with the free agent outfielder Rocco Baldelli. It was a uncomnfirmed report coming from Rocco Baldelli’s Facebook page.

Chad Jennings gave a quick call to Yankees GM, Brian Cashman. That would be false,” Brian Cashman said.

Cashman acknowledged that the Yankees are talking to several players – ”We’re trying to assess our legitimate choices in the sandbox we’re playing in,” he said — but the team has reached an agreement with none of them.

Some mutual interest with Baldelli?

Posted in Yankee News, Yankees Rumors, tagged , , on January 15, 2010| 2 Comments »

Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com:

While we still believe that Xavier Nady would ultimately be the best solution to fill the Yankees’ need for a corner outfielder/right-handed hitter, Rocco Baldelli might be the next best choice (considering the Yanks’ need and their hard-line budget).

There is some mutual interest here, according to a source, but nothing has advanced yet past that.

Yankees have only $2M to spend on LF? Damon is really running out of options…

Posted in Yankee News, Yankee Players, Yankees Opinion, Yankees Rumors, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 12, 2010| 1 Comment »

Joel Sherman of the New York Post finds that Johnny Damon returning to the Bronx is unlikely, because the Yankees  are telling agents they have only $2M to spend.  Cashman would have to lobby Hal Steinbrenner to expand the budget to bring back Damon. Supposedly, when they were targeting Mike Cameron back in July, Hal Steinbrenner would not approve a $5.5MM increase. Damon would have to cut his salary demands by a lot, and that is unlikely. If this report is correct, $2M isn’t going to get you anything noteworthy on this FA market.

If they move on from Damon, the team’s next targets are: Xavier Nady, Reed Johnson, Rocco Baldelli, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Marcus Thames.

According to Chris Haft of MLB.com, the “signing of first baseman Aubrey Huff likely finishes the Giants’ offseason efforts to upgrade the ballclub.” So, that means no Damon for the Giants? Isn’t this guy running out of options?

Yankees-Red Sox-Rays Rivalry. AL EAST in for an exciting season…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 24, 2009| Leave a Comment »

     The Yankees missed the postseason last year. The Red Sox got knocked off by the Rays in the ALCS. The Rays went onto the World Series, but lost to the Phillies. These teams have reloaded in the off-season, and are ready to battle it out again this upcoming season. Major additions to the AL East: CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Mark Teixeira, John Smoltz, Brad Penny, Takashi Saito, Pat Burrell, Nick Swisher, Rocco Baldelli, Junichi Tazawa. The anticipation is killing me. I can’t wait for the season to start.
