This baseball season there have been some monstrous contracts, and in a change of pace, none were by the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox. The two biggest free agent prizes were Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. Pujols signed a ten-year deal worth $254 million with the Los...

Russell Branyan has agreed to a minor league contract with the New York Yankees and will try to win a bench job as a corner infielder during spring training. The Yankees announced the deal Wednesday. Branyan hit .197 with five homers and 14 RBIs in 127 at-bats last season for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Angels, playing first base, third base and designated hitter.

Free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is being pursued by multiple major-league teams, though his preference appears to be the Miami Marlins. "It would be good (to play here)," Cespedes told reporters at Miami International Airport Tuesday, a day before his scheduled...
As the Yankees continue to move through the marketplace in search of an extra left-handed bat, they are considering whether potential players have had success in New York before.
That's why, in part, hitters such as Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon have appeal. But the Yankees are not ruling out players who have not called the Big Apple home. Manager Joe Girardi admitted that having some sort of New York background is a help, but was also quick to point out: "When you think about Raul Ibanez, he's had success wherever he's gone, too." It's unclear whether the Yankees will sign someone to take up the at-bats lost when Jesus Montero, who was set to be the designated hitter, was sent to Seattle in the Michael Pineda trade. They did add Bill Hall as a utility...

These are the MLB managers who have won the World Series the most times. This is a list that I like a lot because I have been a New York Yankees fan since I was a kid, well over 40 years ago. Four of the managers on the list won all of their championships as managers of the New York...

On Tuesday, February 7 the New York Yankees signed a veteran free agent. It wasn't the left handed designated hitter the team desperately needs, but rather a versatile bench piece. The Yankees brought 32-year-old Bill Hall into the fold.

The Yankees have agreed to a minor league contract with utilityman Bill Hall and invited him to big league spring training. Hall announced the deal on his Twitter account Tuesday, and New York confirmed the agreement. If Hall is added to the Yankees' 40-man roster, he would get a $600,000, one-year contract and have the chance to earn an additional $600,000 in performance bonuses.

On February 5, 2012, I watched my favorite NFL team, the New York Giants, defeat the New England Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI for our fourth Super Bowl win. I'm a huge sports fan, and I was in the Rose Bowl in 1987 for out first Super Bowl win over the Denver Broncos,...
