Yankees News and Rumors: Brett Gardner signed; Josh Hamilton in mix?

Chris Carelli — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:45:15 +0000

Friday was by far the most productive day of the week for the New York Yankees insofar as actual signings, unfortunately this one was never in doubt. The Bombers signed outfielder Brett Gardner to a one-year deal worth $2.85 million avoiding arbitration. (more…)

Josh Hamilton to the Yankees?

Matt Hunter — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:54 +0000

No, the New York Yankees will not, in all likelihood, sign Josh Hamilton. He is looking for a long-term, expensive deal and the Yankees are trying to cut their budget for 2014. But what is the offseason for, if not to wildly speculate about interesting possibilities? (more…)

Josh Hamilton and the Yankees in 2013?

Indulge me for a second and let’s imagine this actually happening. Some of the very first questions fans would be asking would be: who is going away in favor of Josh Hamilton and how can we afford him? Well, it’s simple. Nick Swisher will be a free agent and Curtis Granderson has a team option at the end of this season. What Swisher is asking for money wise will not earn him any favors with the New York Yankees unless he were to start putting up MVP-type numbers from here on out. Even then, overpaying one player sometimes can come back to bite teams. Granderson on the other hand may be offered an extension by the Yankees, but I just don’t see it happening if Hamilton’s name is thrown out there. Granderson’s salary is a little under Hamilton’s, but he doesn’t nearly have the same consistent production year in, year out that Josh does. So, with that said, could Hamilton be a Yankee next season? (more…)

Hiroki’s Gem: Picture Post

Although we didn’t get a no-hitter, it was about as close as you can get. Hiroki Kuroda silenced the Rangers’ bats on Tuesday to the tune of a two-hit, complete-game shutout. It was the closest I’ve ever been to witnessing a no-no in person, and also the only complete game I’ve ever attended (I think).

Yankees take third straight from Rangers; looking for sweep today

Chris Carelli — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 10:01:00 +0000

The New York Yankees are on a roll and it’s their pitching doing most of the leg work. Freddy Garcia continues to be reliable, if not better, than some of his younger cohorts. He tossed 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball, both runs off Josh Hamilton homers, as the Yankees have won the seven of their last eight games. (more…)

On a sweltering hot day in the Bronx, the New York Yankees had a busy day across the organization. They celebrated their 66th annual Old-Timer’s Day, revealed their 2012 All-Star selections and completed a trade with hopes to bolster their bullpen. (more…)

A Look at The New York Yankees RISP Woes

Jimmy Kraft — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:00:09 +0000

If there’s one theme we’ve seen throughout the first quarter of the season, it’s that the New York Yankees cannot buy a run when there’s runners in scoring position (RISP). The ineptitude concerning batters driving in runners from second and third base is very difficult to watch on a consistent basis. After doing some research into just how bad the Yankees are with runners in scoring position, I was alarmed and somewhat relieved by what I found. (more…)

Ibanez hits half the homers as Hamilton, enough for Yankees to beat Rays 5-3

Chris Carelli — Wed, 09 May 2012 10:21:10 +0000

Josh Hamilton went ballistic with four home runs against the Baltimore Orioles last night, overshadowing Raul Ibanez‘s two homers which lifted the New York Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. (more…)
