Now the off-season starts for the Yankees. Will CC opt out? Has Posada played his last game for the Yankees? Is Cashman staying as GM? Where will they find some more starting pitching? Are they going to pick up Swisher's option? Is it worth putting a contract out on A-Rod?
[Reply]

When are these players going to learn?
[Reply]

And why would I be? I believe I made it clear that I was already happy with this season, and am never discontented to get a little gravy as opposed to a whole boatload.

Understand this: People who "hate" the Yankees claim they do so because they spend so much money, but that's not true. They do so because the Yankees have had success while spending money to accomplish this. Were they as ineffective as, say, the Os or Mets . . . or even the Red Sox over the past 2 years of missing the playoffs entirely . . . no one would give a damn how much they spend.

Understand this too: The Yankees have won more post-season games than any other MLB franchise. The Yankees have also LOST more post-season games than any other MLB franchise, so a rational fan has become inured to that fact. But perhaps, as a Tar Heel, I have that advantage over many others . . . I've been there many March days, as well as many October evenings. :-)

The Yankees have started to work on the first contact of the off-season as they work to resign Brian Cashman.
[Reply]

The guy can't bat his age, much less his weight, and couldn't strike me out! :-)

The Yankees can now offcially start the off-season. Brian Cashman and the Yankees have agreed on a 3 year contract extension. Cashman's first goal now is to get CC a new contract before he opts out.

The Yankees excersized options on Cano & Swisher. :-)
[Reply]

I read the article, they hesitated with Nic, because of
his lack of post season performance, but he`s still on the team.
Great competitor. Hope he has a good year.

CC back in the fold for an xtra 30 mil. wow.
[Reply]

Makes sense to me: Don't make it to the World Series = Spend more money. :-)
[Reply]

Whats another 30 mil. over 5 yrs.
Chump change west of the East River.
But then we didnt invest with Madoff. :-)
[Reply]

Madoff killed the Mets chances of getting really good players. Heck, we're even making our ballpark smaller to attract the peewee players!
[Reply]

Yankees declined the option on Brackman's contract. He is now a free agent. Still a chance the Yankees resign him but at more of a minor league price since it was obvious he is not ready for the big leagues yet.
[Reply]

Cano was a no brainer, Swisher i'm not so sure about. I love his attitude but the Yankees have to many guys who die come the post season. Swish is pretty good during the regular season but he sucks come October.
[Reply]

Brett Gardner got snubbed by the gold glove voters.
[Reply]

Congrats to Cano on his 3rd and the Grandyman on his 1st Silver Slugger awards.
