New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will miss at least a month with a strained groin.
Sergio Mitre will take Pettitte’s place in the starting rotation at least temporarily, but likely until he returns.
The Yankees were so close to landing ace Cliff Lee in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, but instead lost out on him and now are without Pettitte. (Read More…)

From the moment he purchased the New York Yankees in the early days of 1973, George Steinbrenner pumped his sometimes over-the-top, always focused-on-the-top spirit into Major League Baseball’s signature franchise.
Even in the hours following his death early Tuesday morning, the image of Steinbrenner driving the Yankees to world championships reigned supreme. Steinbrenner passed away following a heart attack at his Tampa, Fla., home, at the age of 80. (Read More…)

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has passed away at the age of 80 after suffering a heart attack.
The owner’s health quickly deteriorated over the past couple of years and he did not look good at the ceremony to close down the old Yankee Stadium.
Steinbrenner helped the Yankees win several World Series titles and was never afraid to make a big move. (Read More…)
The New York Yankees have picked up almost right where they left off last year after winning the World Series.
The team has been forced to weather the injury bug a bit, especially when it comes to veteran catcher Jorge Posada.
Posada has missed several weeks with various injuries, the most severe of which was a broken bone in his foot. (Read More…)
Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt said he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause to play for the New York Yankees.
Before this season, Oswalt had been reluctant to waive his no-trade clause because he enjoyed playing for the Astros and wasn’t ready to give up on the franchise.
However, this year it has become abundantly clear that the team is in disarray and going nowhere anytime soon. (Read More…)

The New York Knicks have made it clear that they would welcome help from Derek Jeter to get LeBron James to come to the Big Apple.
The only problem is that the New York Yankees shortstop doesn’t see how he could be of service.
Jeter said that he won’t be talking to James about coming to play basketball in New York because he knows nothing about it.
He did say that James is a nice guy and he’s gotten to meet him because he is a Yankees fan.
C.C. Sabathia said he is also a friend of James but that he doesn’t really have to sell anyone on what it’s like to win in New York.
New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada will miss at least the next month with a broken foot.
He was hoping that the injury was just a bone bruise but was still having trouble walking days later.
The catcher maintains he will return to the lineup much sooner than the projected month he is expected to miss.
Posada got off to a scorching hot start this year despite some concern over his age and when he will start to decline.
Francisco Cervelli, who has been hitting very well himself, will start in Posada’s absence.
New York Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson will miss time with a strained left groin muscle.
The speedy outfielder was hurt as he rounded second base over the weekend, pulling up with a heavy limp.
He was able to limp his way to third base safely, but then was quickly removed from the game.
The Yankees have placed him on the 15-day disabled list and don’t expect him back for a month or more.
The injury means that veteran Randy Winn will likely see a significant increase in playing time.
The New York Yankees have named Phillip Hughes their fifth starter, putting Joba Chamberlain in the bullpen.
The team has liked what they have seen out of Hughes this spring, a former top prospect in the organization.
He also pitched well last year in a relief role and appears ready for the responsibility of taking a turn in the rotation every fifth day.
Meanwhile, Chamberlain will once again be relegated to the bullpen in what will most likely be a setup role.
The Yankees feel that his power style of pitching is best suited at the back end of their bullpen.
New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter is already thinking about his career after baseball.
Jeter said he would like to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan and own a sports franchise.
The shortstop said that the only interest he would have in ownership would be calling the shots.
In the final year of his contract, Jeter said that he is in no rush to retire and plans on playing as long as he possibly can.
It’s good to see that Jeter has aspirations beyond his playing days, but I wouldn’t expect them to come to fruition anytime soon.
