Re: MLB, commissioner Rob Manfred gaining support to limit defensive shifts, report says - 8 days ago

I'm not crazy about the shift, but I can't see how you can take strategy away. As much as I don't like it, I'm always impressed when a clear base hit is robbed by positioning.

Michael Kay is ripping the Yankees today. Saying that if you're not going to add an extra year to the contract offer, then you won't be able to sign anybody.

Changes to the way teams line up -- and are allowed to line up -- defensively could be coming to Major League Baseball. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has received "strong" backing from baseball's competition committee to try to "put something in place" to limit shifts, The Athletic's Jayson Stark reported Wednesday.

Re: Fire sale at NY Giants HQ's - 8 days ago

My dream is for the Giants to draft Justin Herbert next April, but they keep winning and now have the 7th overall spot. Herbert may stay in school for another year too.

Just a blogger offering his opinion. No information on the Yankees actually being interested.

Re: Fire sale at NY Giants HQ's - 9 days ago

Sorry, Gator.. I don't check here often. One month later with just four more games to play, the question is. Will Eli be cut after this season or play one more year for the Giants in 2019?

Re: Who Yankees may target following Corbin deal - 9 days ago

Quotetoga Lance would be my last choice. Evo & Happ are money only deals and both have pitched in pinstripes and proven they can handle the Bronx faithful. A trade would mean giving up prospects = got to trust that Cash won't deplete the farm for a couple of years/ Agreed. Please, no Lance Lynn!

Re: I got my answer in 24 hours. - 9 days ago

QuotePRYanksFan I'm royally pissed, to say the least. When Corbin stopped at N.Y., did he already have the Nats offer? Did he even mention the offer to Cashman so Cashman could at least try to match it? I mean if this was his last stop on his GM tour, Cashman should've been made aware of what his best offer was, so he could decide if they (Yanks) were going to meet or beat it. I'm sure Corbi

Who Yankees may target following Corbin deal - 10 days ago

According to Cashman, the Yankees have been in contact with J.A. Happ, Nathan Eovaldi and Lance Lynn, a trio of hurlers who are familiar with the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. The club also has spoken with the Indians about Carlos Carrasco and Corey Kluber, discussions that could be renewed at the upcoming Winter Meetings now that Corbin is off the board.

Eovaldi please.. - 10 days ago

He's gotten rid of that HUGE question mark (?) and proved he can pitch better than he ever did before, even after TWO TJ surgeries.. Plus we can stick it to the Red Sux!!

I got my answer in 24 hours. - 10 days ago

QuoteHitman23 So we'll see what's more important to Corbin. Putting on the treasured pinstripes, or getting an extra 10 to 20 million dollars from the Phillies or Nationals. Wrong answer, Corbin.

Re: Corbin to Nationals - 10 days ago

I guess I was right to be concerned. I hope you rot in Washington, Corbin!

I think so.. - 11 days ago

The trade with the Mariners clearly shows that the Mets are in it to win now. Especially with both deGrom and Thor both under control for two more years. This new GM isn't finished this winter.

Daily News beat writer John Harper - 11 days ago

John Harper was on Channel 4's Sports Final last night and he said the Yankees are interested, and they will give him a nice offer, but he also said that they will not go overboard in a bidding war in order to sign him. So we'll see what's more important to Corbin. Putting on the treasured pinstripes, or getting an extra 10 to 20 million dollars from the Phillies or Nationals.

Is anybody getting concerned? - 11 days ago

If the Yankees gave Patrick Corbin the Royal treatment last week, gave him (I would assume) a sensational offer, grew up a Yankees fan, wore number 46 because of Andy Pettitte, his family (at least his brother) is hoping he signs with the Yankees, wouldn't he have signed with the Yankees by now, or at least we would be hearing through the beat reporter grapevine that Corbin most likely is heading

A family Yankees’ recruitment pitch made at Corbin’s wedding. From someone who attended Patrick Corbin’s recent wedding: “His younger brother gave a best-man speech and at the end took out a Yankees hat and put it on, which elicited a great applause, and said they all hoped that he and Jen would be moving closer to home.” Here, here!
