Yankees trading for Ichiro Suzuki is alarming

Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki (51)

I learned of the Ichiro Suzuki trade made by the New York Yankees from my Starbucksguy who informed me as he was making my double, tall skim latte. At first, I accused the poor guy of lying and actually said, “that is not even funny.” Well that explains why he wasn’t laughing. Honestly, I am [...]

The New York Yankees have been without Brett Gardnerin left field all but nine games this season, and the impact could have been catastrophic but it hasn’t been.

Are the New York Yankees in need of another right-handed reliever? No, no…. the Yankees need a lefty to aid Boone Logan out of the bullpen, and even more so now that LHR Hideki Okajima failed his physical a few days ago. Well, not when your GM is named Brian Cashman who is on his [...]

Finally, the New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman resigned ex-Athletics hottie Eric Chavez. It is mind-boggling that this took so long, especially after reading a mid-January post on MLB Trade Rumors that there were a number of teams interested in him.

Yankees welcome Raul Ibanez spark Nick Johnson nightmares

Yankees vs. White Sox

I don’t think anyone was surprised when ESPN’s Buster Onley reported that the New York Yankees signed Raul Ibanezto a one year, $1.1 million deal with incentives, which could earn him up to $4 million. But does signing a DH even make sense? Well it is familiar song, as the Yankees have a habit of signing guys like [...]
