      Another Day and Still No Word on Torre's Future

      The Yankees brass continued their meetings today in Tampa but still have not made a decision on the fate of manager Joe Torre. GM Brian Cashman said that the club is taking their time with the decision on whether to bring Torre back out of respect for the man who brought New York four world championships, according to Newsday .

      George's Sons Take Over Yanks

      George Steinbrenner’s sons, Hank and Hal, are now calling the shots for the Yankees, the New York Post reported today. King George, 77, will still be in the picture and only "an office door away," but the brothers will have final say on all day-to-day baseball decisions. “There's always been a succession—and that's myself and my brother,” said Hank.

      Is 'the Boss' Still the Boss?

      Still reeling from an embarrassing first-round playoff bounce courtesy of Cleveland, the Yankees are wracked with questions about Joe Torre's job security, A-Rod's next contract, and Mariano's future. The biggest question, however, is what George Steinbrenner's role with the team will be. Notably silent in recent years, the old Boss seemed to surface when he threatened to fire Torre, then disappear again when he didn't. More »

      If Joe Goes, Mo Goes

      Yankees closer Mariano Rivera expressed confusion and frustration at the team's apparent desire to release manager Joe Torre, who has led New York to the postseason in each of his twelve years helming the team. Rivera, who is a free agent this winter, hinted that a Torre-less dugout might make him less likely to return. More »

      A-Rod's Agent Eyes Potential Free Agency

      Alex Rodriguez hasn’t indicated if he will opt out his contract with the Yankees, but if he does his agent has ambitious plans. Scott Boras said in a radio interview he will tell suitors that A-Rod is the most valuable player in baseball history, will play until he is 45, and probably break the all-time homerun and hit records, reports ESPN.

    • Yankees, Torre Still in the Game

      newser  |  New York Daily News  |  Oct 8, 07 2:19 AM CDT

      Yankees, Torre Still in the Game

      Trailing 0-2 in the ALDS and behind 3-1 in the fourth inning of last night's game, the Yankees finally rallied for an 8-4 win against Cleveland, reports the New York Daily News . The victory keeps the Yanks in the playoffs and Joe Torre at their helm; owner George Steinbrenner decreed yesterday that Torre's out of a job if the Yankees lose this series. More »

      Steinbrenner to Torre: Win or You're Fired

      Joe Torre is one loss away from unemployment. Last night George Steinbrenner told the Bergen County Record the skipper is finished in New York unless the Yankees rally to beat the Cleveland Indians. “He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series,” Steinbrenner said, in a vintage threat-filled rant.

      Yankees Stung at Cleveland

      The Indians lead the Yankees 2-0 in their ALDS series, following Friday night's 11-inning victory. A game which saw phenomenal pitching from starters Pettitte and Carmona  is destined to become famous for the insect swarm that arrived in the later innings. The pests certainly got to Yankee reliever Joba Chamberlain, who gave up a game tying run on a wild pitch in the eighth. More »

      Yankees Clinch Playoff Spot

      The Yankees yesterday clinched a playoff berth for the 13th straight season, with a 12-4 battering of the Devil Rays.  With the win, the 15th in their last 20 games, New York has eliminated defending AL champs Detroit from the playoffs. They will likely face off against the Indians in the ALDS. More »

      A-Rod Eyes Stake in Cubs

      Alex Rodriguez could join Alfonso Soriano at the heart of a monster Cubs lineup next season: ESPN reports that A-Rod's agent, Scott Boras, is brokering a deal with future Cubs owners that could net the star $300 million over 10 years. Part of the contract would give A-Rod a stake in the franchise, New York magazine reports in the issue out tomorrow. More »

      A-Rod Powers Yanks Past Mariners

      A-Rod wasn't even supposed to play in last night's game. Less than two hours before the opening pitch, Rodriguez was stuck in a Manhattan hospital while doctors examined his injured ankle. Hours later, he cracked his Major League-leading 47th and 48th homer in the 7th inning, leading the Yankees to a 10-2 win over the Mariners. More »

    • 'Stupid' Feud Continues

      newser  |  MSNBC  |  Aug 9, 07 5:42 AM CDT

      'Stupid' Feud Continues

      The Blue Jays third base coach accused two Yankees of "terrible" slides that endangered his middle infielders, a perpetuation of the bad blood between the teams that began with A-Rod's infielder-distracting yawp on May 30. Toronto second baseman Aaron Hill, however, has had enough of the sniping and the plunkings, calling the feud "stupid." More »

      Benches Clear in Yanks Win Over Jays

      Roger Clemens was ejected and the benches cleared twice yesterday in the Yankees tension-filled 9-2 win over the Blue Jays. The Jays made it clear they were still incensed over A-Rod's "Ha!" play when pitcher Josh Towers hurled his first pitch of the third inning directly right at A-rod's left knee.  More »

      A-Rod Smashes 500th Homer

      Alex Rodriguez finally blasted his way into the 500-homer club today, becoming, at age 32 and 8 days, the youngest baseball player to hit the mark. A-Rod swatted the first pitch he saw from Kansas City Royals' Kyle Davies, belting a three-run homer at Yankee Stadium. It had been a week since he hit  #499, and the fans were ecstatic. More »

      Who's the (Next) Boss?

      George Steinbrenner has mysteriously disappeared from the public eye, and Portfolio reveals that he appears to be in the early stages of dementia. Reporter Franz Lidz made a rare visit to Steinbrenner on an invitation from a golfing buddy—and found the legendary owner pale and swollen, stuck repeating the same phrase long after it was appropriate. The Boss's state throws the future on the Yankees further into confusion. More »

    • Yanks Deal Proctor to Dodgers

      Yanks Deal Proctor to Dodgers

      The Yankees dealt reliever Scott Proctor to the Dodgers yesterday, in exchange for infielder Wilson Betemit. Proctor, who will likely be replaced by minor-league righty Edwar Ramirez, had struggled in the Bronx, giving up four home runs in his last six outings. The Yanks are hoping to add depth to their backup roster with the versatile Betemit. More »

      Yanks Down Orioles, 10-6

      The Yankees snapped a three-game losing streak with a 10-6 outing against Baltimore yesterday. A struggling Johnny Damon came up big for New York, posting three hits, four runs, and one spectacular catch in left field that stymied a fourth-inning Orioles rally. Alex Rodriguez came up empty in his bid for home run 500, going 0-2 with an intentional walk in the seventh. More »

    • For A-Rod, 499 May Be 500

      For A-Rod, 499 May Be 500

      Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez may have to re-label his memorabilia: homerun-ball 499 may turn out to be number 500. The Yankees resume their June 28 suspended game with Baltimore tomorrow, and if A-Rod smashes one before the day is out, it will be retroactively booked as homerun 493, promoting Wednesday's blast to number 500.

      A-Rod to Yanks: We'll Negotiate After Season

      Alex Rodriguez told the Yankees yesterday he's not ready to negotiate a contract extension, a day after the Yankees broke from tradition and said they'd be open to talks before the season ends. A-Rod has 3 1/2 seasons left on his record $252 million contract, but can opt out at season's end. More »

      Yankees DH Jason Giambi acceded to a meeting with former Senate Majority Leader and steroids investigator George Mitchell, to discuss the power-hitter's possible use of performance-enhancing drugs. Giambi had initially balked at the official probe, but caved under pressure from Commissioner Bud Selig, who says the meeting will occur "promptly." More »
