Yankee free-agent Nick Swisher has agreed to a deal with the Indians.

I'll miss Swish's personality and the individual traits he brought to the team but I won't miss the postseason disappearance acts.
At least he signed with a team we don't have to worry about contending with.

True dat. In his defense, he was just following everyone else's (almost) example. :D

The Yankees have agreed to terms with OF Matt Diaz on a minor-league deal with an invite to big-league camp.

He'll compete for the fourth/fifth outfield job.

Worth a shot. Career .324/.364/.498 hitter against lefties.
 
Re: New York Yankees

FeinsandNYDN:
  • Source says Diaz will earn $1.2 million plus incentives if he makes the big-league club.
  • Diaz's incentives can add an extra $800,000 based on at-bats, which would bring the total as high as $2 million.

Sad to see him go. It was time, though. WS MVP is his greatest award, I think.
 
Re: New York Yankees

According to Anthony McCarron, Austin Romine is set to start the year in Triple-A. (LINK)

That would currently leave the catching battle between Francisco Cervelli, Chris Stewart and potentially Bobby Wilson.

Ugh.
 
Re: New York Yankees

The Yankees have claimed OF/INF Russ Canzler off waivers from the Indians.

Canzler was told to focus on third base and the outfield corners, so he could make the team a couple of different ways. He also has option(s) remaining. (LINK)

To make room on the roster, OF Chris Dickerson was designated for assignment.


thoughts.jpg

Canzler sounds intriguing, plus he's right-handed which is always a plus.
I like Dickerson and think he could play a role on the team but he doesn't fit with three left-handed outfielders already on the team — hopefully he gets through waivers though.
 
Re: New York Yankees

KenDavidoff: The Yankees are interested in Lance Berkman, but it's not clear whether he'd consider a return to New York given the Texas teams' involvement.
 
Re: New York Yankees

According to Anthony Rieber, the Yankees are not looking for bullpen help or a catcher. (LINK)


thoughts.jpg

Our bullpen is fine but I'm still holding out hope that Cashman makes a move for a catcher.
 
Re: New York Yankees

Ken_Rosenthal: Two sources tell me Yankees made offer to Berkman. Third source says two sides simply talked. Either way, they were in.
 
Re: New York Yankees

BobKlap: Told Scott Boras asked Yankees last month if they'd consider taking Rafael Soriano back on a one-year deal. Request flatly denied.

Buster_ESPN: The Yankees want the draft pick/draft dollars they'll get when Soriano signs elsewhere more than they want him back, no matter the contract.
 
Re: New York Yankees

According to Wallace Matthews, it appears the bidding for Scott Hairston's services is down to the Yankees and Mets. (LINK)

Hairston is looking for a multi-year deal.
 
Re: New York Yankees

HaleMark: Ben Francisco's agent, John Boggs, says Yankees and Mets have expressed interest in the outfielder. Three other teams interested too.
 
Re: New York Yankees

With Adam LaRoche returning to Washington, I wonder if the Yankees look into acquiring Mike Morse.

Career .295/.347/.492 hitter with a .303/.357/.503 split against lefties.

As long as Boras gets screwed, I'm thrilled.
