Pitcher Cliff Lee and his agent have been cautious in their pursuit at deciding where Lee’s future should take him. As a free agent, Lee is expected to make his decision early this week, but as of now his potential teams are kept in suspense.

The Texas Rangers, the New York Yankees, and an unknown team are the big players all vying for Lee’s attention. After silence from Lee all weekend, there has been speculation that he and his agent Darek Braunecker were delaying their choice on purpose in an attempt to attain more money.

On Wednesday the New York Yankees were believed to have enhanced their offer, adding another year and several million dollars to their original bid. As of now, the Yankees have offered Lee an estimated $138 million, 6 year deal.

The Rangers also upgraded their bid from an original $100 million over five years. They have now offered him a six-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. Though the exactness of each bid is uknown, it is believed that the Yankees’ offer is significantly more.

Last week Lee visited the Texans, which left Rangers’ CEO Chuck Greenberg optimistic that Lee will in fact choose the Rangers over the Yankees. The New York Yankees are hoping Lee will choose them, and join them next season.

Spring training for the New York Yankees will commence on February 26, 2011 at the George M. Steinbrenner Field in beautiful Tampa, Florida.

Over the past two days there have been meetings between the top guns of the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter, and Jeter’s agent Casey Close. At least one meeting was held on Tuesday between Yankees GM Brian Cashman, Jeter, and his agent in Tampa on Tuesday.

Before this meeting, the two sides had not interacted in several days. Jeter was offered a deal from the Yankees which would add three more years onto his time with the Yanks, and $45 million. However, the New York Times has said that Jeter is interested in a contract that will last four to five years and would be worth $23-$24 million per season.

The Yankees seem willing to stray from their original $45 million, three year offer in hopes of keeping Jeter with the Yankees. With Jeter’s $189 million, 10-year deal expiring after this season, it looks like he will be taking a cut in salary.

Both New York, and Jeter understand their importance to each other, and neither of them may be ready to give that up just yet. Spring training for the New York Yankees will commence on February 26, 2011 at the George M. Steinbrenner Field in beautiful Tampa, Florida.

A meeting held in Tampa between big leagues of the New York Yankees including co-owner Hal Steinbrenner, president Randy Levine, and general manager Brian Cashman along with Derek Jeter and his agent was conducted to allow for smooth contract negotiations. This meeting was the first face-to-face initiative taken by the Yankees to ensure that negotiations would not become more difficult than necessary.

Although not much information regarding the meeting was disclosed, an industry source said that this meeting was informal where no offers were made. It was an open meeting in which the Yankees and Jeter could answer each other’s questions to help start, and move the deal making process along. There have been no other meetings scheduled, but they are likely to begin just after the Thanksgiving holiday.

A source gave ESPN insight to the Yankees’ plan for Jeter, saying his contract would be above market value. According to the source, Jeter would be receiving anywhere from $15-21 million per season for three more years. Both New York, and Jeter understand their importance to each other, and neither of them may be ready to give that up just yet.

The New York Yankees were able to extend their World Series chances for at least one more game with a 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. With this win tonight, the Yankees are on their way to overcoming the teams’ first 3-1 playoff deficit in 52 years.

After a week long slump, the Yankees played exceptional defense, and pitcher CC Sabathia struck out seven batters in six innings. However, he did run into a rough patch during his last inning.

It was the sixth inning and the Yankees were leading 6-1 with one out. Sabathia gave up three singles in a row, which loaded up the bases. A ground ball added one more to the Rangers score, with Mitch Moreland up at bat. It took him eight pitches, and the fans roaring in the crowds, but Sabathia was able to stump Moreland on a two balls, two strikes pitch.

Although the 2009 World Series Winners were able to avoid elimination this time, they still are not where they would ideally be. They forced a game six in the best-of-seven series that is still 3-2 in favor of the Rangers.

The New York Yankees will compete in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Friday, October 22, 2010 in Texas against the Rangers. This game will feature a rematch of game 2, as the Yankees will start Phil Hughes against Colby Lewis, only this time the Yankees are hoping that the game ends in their favor.

The New York Yankees are headed to the American League Championship Series! On Saturday night in the Bronx the Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 6-1. The Yankees swept the American League Divisional Series in this Game 3 victory, and they will be advancing to the next round where they will face the winner of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Texas Rangers series.

This ending may be all too familiar to the Twins. This was the second season in a row where New York swept Minnesota in order to continue on to the ALCS. In fact, the Yankees have beat the Twins in nine straight post season games, which is tied for the third-longest winning streak against one opponent in postseason history.

Victory came easy for the Yankees with the help of a dominating offense, and smooth pitching by Phil Hughes. Hughes made a notable first postseason start. The 24 year old pitched for seven innings and allowed no runs. He also was the youngest pitcher to start and win a postseason game with the Yankees since 1981.

The Yankees have ended the playoffs of the Twins, but New York’s playoff road is only just beginning. The Yankees will play their next game on Friday, October 15, 2010 against either the Rays or the Rangers.

On Monday night the New York Yankees remembered late owner George Steinbrenner in a way that make sure he will not be forgotten. Before their victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees unveiled a monument dedicated to Steinbrenner where it will be joined by all of the other Yankee legends at Monument Park.

On July 13 George Steinbrenner past away at the age of 80. He can be credited with helping the Yankees attain the status that they currently have with a value of $1.6 billion according to Forbes. He had an enormous impact on not only the Yankees, but the game as well. Commissioner Bud Selig even said during Monday’s tribute that Steinbrenner belongs in the Hall of Fame because of the substantial impact he’s made.

Former Yankee great Reggie Jackson attended the monument unveiling, and as he spoke about Steinbrenner his eyes teared up. He told the Post, “I came here because of him and became part of the franchise. I’ll always have a special place for him. So I look forward to him being honored, recognized for really his contributions to baseball, certainly the world championships.”

Despite the extremely sad loss of the boss, the New York Yankees will keep on keeping on. Next up they will face the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, September 26, 2010.

After suffering from a bruised right knee, New York Yankees right fielder Nick Swisher could be returning to the lineup soon. Swisher has been unable to start in a game since Sunday, and according to manager Joe Girardi his knee will most likely keep him from starting until Friday at the earliest.

Swisher had a second MRI on Tuesday which proved that his right knee was just inflamed, and luckily no bones were broken. Swisher admitted that he was relieved that the injury was not worse. He did go forth with a cortisone shot to relieve most of the pain, which will hopefully allow him to start against Baltimore this Friday.

Swisher has been dealing with the injury which occurred when he fouled a ball off his knee in late August. Since then Swisher has been intermittently in and out of the Yankees’ starting lineup. Although Swisher has not started since Sunday, he did pinch-hit on Monday. Unfortunately he could barely run to first after his hit.

The New York Yankees will play their next game without Swisher against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Wednesday, September 15. The Yankees are looking forward to his return as soon as he is in good shape.

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has made history… again. Alex Rodriguez came off of the disabled list on Sunday, and since then the Yankees have lost two games in a row. Despite the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles on Sunday, A-Rod still managed to shine.

In his first game since returning with a calf injury the slugger drove in two runs, and became the first player in the history of Major League Baseball to have 14 seasons of 100 or more RBI. This accomplishment was also the 13th season in a row that he was able to reach 100 RBI, which ties him for the longest streak ever with baseball greats Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx.

In order to be the  current record holder he had to break a tie with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmie Foxx, which he was clearly successful at doing.

During Rodriguez’s second game since coming off the DL, he tied the game in the fourth inning with his 605th career home run, and 22nd of the season.

A-Rod and the New York Yankees will play their next game on Friday, September 10, 2010 in Texas against the Rangers.

On Sunday the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 with the help of a major effort put forth by rookie pitcher Ivan Nova. During the game he allowed five hits and walked one player, and in 5-2/3 innings the rookie pitcher only allowed one run. Nova was able to strike out seven batters from the White Sox as he reeled in his first win.

Sunday’s game was Nova’s first major league victory, but this was the second strong showing he’s had this season. Also, credit must be given to Ivan for holding his own against a team that managed to score nine runs in the first two games of the series. On Sunday Nova was not fazed by how well the White Sox were doing in the series, and he handled Chicago’s lineup like a veteran.

The Yankees are now heading back to New York after finishing their roadtrip 3-3, and recording their 80th victory while being the first team in the MLB to do so. Sundays win was more than just a win for the Yankees because it also made them closer to making first place in the American League East theirs.

The New York Yankees will play their next game at Yankee stadium against the Oakland Athletics on Monday, August 30, 2010.

It seems as though everything went right for the New York Yankees on Sunday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Despite the rainy weather, the Yankees were able to beat the Seattle Mariners 10-0.

The Yankees certainly won for a reason. The team was working hard together to stop the Mariners and ensure a win. Even without Alex Rodriguez the team was able to work together and make up for the loss. Due to a strained left calf A-Rod was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. However the Yankees weren’t fazed, instead they looked to other team members to make up for the missing A-Rod.

Robinson Cano hit a career-high six home runs during the game one of which was a grand slam, bringing in three runs for the Yankees. Jorge Posada and Austin Kearns also scored home runs for the Yankees, and CC Sabathia lengthened his streak of wins at home to 15.

The New York Yankees will travel to Canada for their next game to match up against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, August 23, 2010.

On Saturday night the New York Yankees pulled off an 8-3 win over the Kansas City Royals with a little help from Alex Rodriguez and the three homers he hit during the game.

Rodriguez is a master at home runs, as this was the 56th game where he was able to hit more than one homers in his 16-year career. This was the fourth time in his career that he was able to hit three homers in one game. With his four homers, he drove in five runs for the Yankees. That helped Rodriguez take over the RBI lead of the MLB with 97.

The home runs by A-Rod all traveled over 400 feet, and were picked on on by three different pitchers. In the sixth inning Rodriguez hit a home run, then in the seventh he hit a two-run shot. Then finally in the ninth inning of the game, A-Rod hit a two-run drive into left field that landed in the water fountains.

This season Alex Rodriguez has hit 21 home runs, and a total of 604 throughout his entire MLB career.

The New York Yankees will travel to Kansas City to play the Royals for their next game on Sunday, August 15, 2010.

After waiting nearly two weeks, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees became the youngest person to ever hit 600 career home runs.

At just 35 years old, A-Rod joined the elite 600-home run club. The second youngest player to join the club was Babe Ruth in 1931 at 36 years old.

The exclusive group only has seven members including Barry Bonds with 762 homers, Hank Aaron with 755, Willie Mays at 660, Ken Griffey Jr. with 630, and Sammy Sosa with 609 home runs.

Rodriguez was struggling for some time to make the dream of a 600th home run become a reality. His last homer was on July 22, and since then he went 9 for 46. Out of any of the seven players to reach the 600 mark, Rodriguez had the longest stretch between numbers 599 and 600. Finally on Wednesday night he drove a pitch over the fence at center field, and it went straight into Monument Park.

It took A-Rod exactly three years to make the leap from 500 home runs to 600, and the Yankees and their fans definitely have awhile until they see A-Rod reaching the 700 milestone.

The New York Yankees will play their next game on Friday, August 6, 2010 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx against the Boston Red Sox.
