Arod, Levine Emails Send Unwelcomed Message to Yankee Fans

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Brian Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner, Yankees on December 31, 2013 | 2 Comments »

There’s something disturbing about the recently released email exchanges between Randy Levine and Alex Rodriguez. On the surface, there’s nothing wrong with a team executive giving email pep talks to a star player, especially when both men have been unfairly maligned despite making enormous contributions to the franchise’s success. However, the communications between Levine and […]

Say It Ain’t So; Did Yankees Really Want Robbie Cano?

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Hal Steinbrenner, Hot Stove, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on December 7, 2013 | 19 Comments »

When Brian Cashman said “everyone is replaceable”, he wasn’t kidding. Less than 12 hours after Robinson Cano spurned the pinstripes for the “greener” pasture of Seattle, the Bronx Bombers welcomed Carlos Beltran into the fold. Easy come, easy go. Yankee fans may have been floored by Cano’s decision to accept a 10-year, $240 million “partnership” […]

Plan $189 Million Is Dead; Are Yankees Revived?

Posted in Arod, Baseball, Brian Cashman, Business and Finance, Hal Steinbrenner, Hot Stove, MLB, Robinson Cano, Yankees on December 5, 2013 | 2 Comments »

Plan $189 million is dead. Long live the Yankee dollar. The Yankees aren’t saying that, of course. On the contrary, just about every article dealing with the team’s free agent ambitions or acquisitions have been careful to cite anonymous sources who maintain the Yankees’ commitment to dipping below the luxury tax threshold. However, actions speak […]

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Baseball History, George M. Steinbrenner, MLB, PEDs, Yankee History, Yankees on August 7, 2013 | 1 Comment »

One of the most prominent figures in all of sports, whose controversial tenure with the Yankees kept the tabloids in business, was given an unprecedented suspension from an overzealous commissioner who grossly overstepped his authority in handing down the ban. Although that neatly sums up the ongoing Alex Rodriguez saga, it could just as easily […]

Fans, Media Hold Nose for Arod, but It’s Yankees Offense that Stinks

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, MLB, Yankees on August 6, 2013 | 2 Comments »

If Alex Rodriguez’ controversial return was a distraction last night, the Yankees should be grateful. With the spotlight squarely on Arod, another lackluster effort by the Bronx Bombers went largely unnoticed. Tabloid headlines aside, the real story in Chicago was a Yankee lineup that continues to sink to historical depths, not the embattled slugger batting […]

Bud Selig’s Changing View of Baseball’s Best Interests

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Baseball History, CBA, MLB, PEDs, Yankees on July 30, 2013 | 2 Comments »

Bud Selig is about to use the nuclear option on Alex Rodriguez. Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement is mostly very specific in its delegation of power, but there is a broad clause that grants the commissioner authority to mete out justice that he, alone, believes is in the best interest of the game. Since Judge Kenesaw […]

Yankees Come Full Circle with Acquisition of Alfonso Soriano, but Alex Rodriguez Has Team Chasing Its Tail

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Brian Cashman, Business and Finance, Hal Steinbrenner, MLB, PEDs, Rumors, Trades, Yankees on July 26, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

While Alex Rodriguez and Brian Cashman continue to dicker over the third baseman’s reinstatement to the active roster, the Yankees are set to welcome back the man they traded for Arod 10 years ago. The acquisition of Alfonso Soriano juxtaposed against the Rodriquez saga might seem like an amusing coincidence, but both events say quite […]
