See Ya Lee: Yankees Should Turn Attention To Roy Oswalt Now

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Lucas Weick in MLB
With Cliff Lee off the trade market, the Yankees should now look at adding the next best pitcher available, Roy Oswalt. The Yankees looked like they were ready to land Lee today, some even called the deal imminent, but trade talks between the Yankees and Mariners fell apart after Seattle questioned David Adams health and asked for more. Lee was instead traded to the Rangers. But we did learn something from this ...

Cliff Lee Talks Between Mariners and Yankees Are Stalled

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Lucas Weick in MLB
Fox Sports is reporting that trade talks between Seattle and New York have stalled. A source says that Seattle is concerned about David Adams' health, and that led them to ask for more. The Yankees are unwilling to accommodate that request, and the two teams are at a standstill. The Reds have begun to intensify their talks with the Mariners now, and the Rangers are also lingering. Reports that a deal to the Yankees ...
The Yankees, Red Sox , and Rays have nearly come to a stand still in the fight for the AL East crown, and likely the best record in baseball. So who is going to come out ahead? Well, it is likely that the team that makes the best acquisitions is going to end up on top, making the month of July, more specifically the July 31st trade deadline, the deciding factor in ...
The Yankees are right in the middle of their interleague games this season and are heading west to play the D-Backs and Dodgers, two former World Series opponents. Their last two series have been against the Mets and Phillies, who were also in the World Series against the Bombers. The Phils and Yanks faced off last October, with the Yankees winning the series four games to two for their unprecedented 27th championship. But it ...

The Mets and the Yankees are rivals by geography, they have to be, Queens vs. the Bronx. And as the Subway series moves crosstown to Yankee Stadium, it's time to take a look at the backbone of each of these two teams. Derek Jeter and David Wright, the faces of the Yankees and Mets, are two outstanding men on the field and off. Despite the uniforms that they put on each day, ...
Just when you thought that you would never see him again after being traded to Philly this past offseason, Roy Halladay returns to clash with the Yankees in the Bronx. Halladay is not the same as he was last year either, he's better. Heading into tomorrow's game, his record stands at 8-4 to the tune of a 1.96 ERA, along with his 85 strikeouts and 14 walks. And as many Yankee fans know, Halladay ...

Why the Yankees Absolutely Need To Trade for Cliff Lee

Posted: 9th June 2010 by Lucas Weick in MLB
The New York Yankees are playing great right now, thanks to their stellar pitching and slugging offense. Yet they are still two games out of first, behind the Rays who own the best record in the Majors heading into tonight, and appear to be the real deal. Now there is no reason for concern right now with the majority of the season yet to be played and the Yankees leading the Wild ...
Well, he's still at AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre, to be exact. Right now, the Yankees might want to call AAA to fix their flat team. The Bombers got bombed by the Rays last night, 10-6 (trailing 10-2 at one point,) and are now just 4-6 in their last 10, dropping to four games out of first. To make matters worse, Jorge Posada is out three to four weeks with a broken foot, and Marcus Thames sprained his ...
With an "A-Bomb" grand slam from A-Rod on Friday night, the great Mariano Rivera giving up a grand slam himself on Sunday, and Marcus Thames sinking Papelbon and the Sox on Monday, it has been a week of highs and lows for the Yanks thus far. But through it all, the Yankees are starting to see some major production out of their once struggling sluggers. Mark Teixeira, also known as Mr. May, has been ...
