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...

The Major League Baseball Hot Stove season is just about to begin. If you like following the baseball offseason, then this week is the week for you: The Winter Meetings kick off in Nashville on Sunday, Dec. 6 and last until Dec. 10th. This is where we should start to see more evidence of possible trades and future free agent signings...

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...

After just missing the playoffs in 2015, the Yankees are in need of a number of things heading into the 2016 season. The Yanks addressed one need on Wednesday when they acquired the young, speedy Aaron Hicks from the Minnesota Twins. Reports have it that the Yankees are also looking to bolster their rotation and they may be very interested in free agent LHP Wei-Yen Chen...

There's no question that the New York Yankees were a little long in the tooth at the outfield position last season. Today the Yankees and Minnesota Twins have made a trade that will send outfielder Aaron Hicks to New York in exchange for backup catcher John Ryan Murphy...

The Toronto Blue Jays overcame the New York Yankees this year to win the AL East and advance to the ALCS. The Jays used a historically strong trade deadline to spring past the Yanks, but they also got help with the return of Marcus Stroman...

The on-field action is over, but the hot stove action is heating up. And now, the Yankees are reportedly talking about Brett Gardner in trades, specifically with the Seattle Mariners, according to the New York Post. As a Mariners fan, I love the idea of acquiring Gardner - just as many Yankee fans would love the idea of keeping him...

The 2016 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot officially came out yesterday and there are several good names on the list, including many for the first time. Ken Griffey Jr. is a lock. Like, he could almost challenge the "no player has ever been unanimously selected on the first ballot...

Well, Derek Jeter isn't playing in the Fall Classic, but he's still making headlines this fall. Jeter, the recently retired Captain of the Yankees, is apparently set to make a big life decision. The New York Daily News says a date has not been set but: "She already has the ring," we're told...
