Good news for the Yankees and new closer Aroldis Chapman: Again, this is good news for both sides. Chapman had filed for a $13.1 million number while the Yankees had countered at $9 million. If the two sides hadn't settled before Feb. 19, they would have gone to court and their relationship would have started with the Yankees giving all the reasons why their star acquisition doesn't deserve the mo

While the Yankees and Mets continue to sit idly by, the Detroit Tigers made a big move yesterday by signing free agent outfielder Justin Upton to a six-year deal. Upton, 28, signed a deal worth $132.75 million to head to Detroit. After missing the playoffs in 2015 and watching their division rivals (Royals) win the World Series, the Tigers went out to fortify one of the best offenses in baseball..

I've never liked the New York Yankees. But I've always respected them. Derek Jeter. Jorge Posada. Bernie Williams. Paul O'Neill. All clean cut players off the field. The "Yankee Way." Even Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi and Andy Pettitte, cheaters, were not "scumbags" before they got to New York...

While many Yankee fans choose to remember Wade Boggs as a guy who helped the Pinstripes win the 1996 World Series, the Red Sox are choosing to remember Boggs as one of their own... Boggs spent 11 of his 18 seasons in Boston, playing with the BoSox from 1982-1992...

Some minor transactions involving your New York baseball teams this offseason: The Kansas City Royals have signed former Met Dillon Gee. Remember, the pitcher who we all loved at one point and then was jettisoned to AAA because he isn't as good as Noah Syndergaard...

The Yankees have traded reliever Justin Wilson to the Tigers for prospects Luis Cessa and Chad Green. This is a bit of an odd move. While these prospects represent the No. 6 and No. 19 prospects in the Tigers organization (via MLBTradeRumors), Wilson had a good season working in a solid Yankees bullpen...

We knew that the Yankees weren't going to the Winter Meetings in Nashville looking to reel in high-priced free agents. We also knew that they would still look to supplement a roster that was beaten in the AL Wild Card game. They did that on Tuesday, acquiring SS/2B Starlin Castro from the Cubs for pitcher Adam Warren and IF Brendan Ryan...

Not a great day if you're a Yankees fan: Not only did the Yankees officially lose a piece that helped lead to their success last season, but they lost him to the rival Boston Red Sox. Young has a two-year deal in place, reports say. Young should figure into the Red Sox plans in more ways than one...

I go away for a weekend...and this happens. You know that I'm a Mariners fan and this is not music to my ears. That said, it's pretty interesting: Let's peel back the layers here: 1. The Mariners were pretty good in Cano's first year, missing the playoffs by a mere game...

Dallas Keuchel won the American League Cy Young Award, besting David Price (Tigers/Blue Jays) and Sonny Gray (Athletics), but have no fear, Yankee fans. The Pinstripes weren't forgotten in the conversation... Closer Andrew Miller received three points in the voting while reliever Dellin Betances received one...
