The San Diego Padres have been pretty active with signing PDC extensions this week. Not only did they extend the deal with their A Full Season affiliate, the Fort Wayne TinCaps, they also signed a new extension with the Lake Elsinore Storm, one of the eight remaining teams in the California League in 2017. The…
More PDC news today from San Diego. The Padres extended their player development contract with their A Full Season farm team, the Fort Wayne TinCaps. The two clubs extended their cooperation for two more years through the 2018 season. TinCaps president Mike Nutter led off the praising with the following words: “We’re truly thrilled to…
The week couldn’t have started any better for Didi Gregorius. In the opener of a four game series in Arlington (TX), he went 3 for 4 and drove in four runs of the total of six that the Yankees scored. It is no secret that Didi is seeing the ball well lately, but if my…
Last night the Yankees avoided a sweep by winning the third game of the three game series vs the Anaheim Angels. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Didi Gregorius led off with a sharp single to right field, followd by a sac bunt laid down by Stephen Drew. When Brett Gardner…

C.C. Sabathia started the game vs the Nationals and six batters later he had given up three runs already. The the remaining 4.1 innings on he mound, he settled down, but once again this Spring Training he was tabbed with the loss (L 0-3). Perhaps the Yankees can trade Sabathia. I wonder if they will…
The Yankees have leaned back most of the time during the off season. After the Beantowners signed Kung Fu Panda to a five year contract, Chase Headley is hot all of a sudden. The Giants are targeting him as well. I wonder why the Yankees should chase Headley (sorry for the pun). They still have…
This off season, the Red Sox’ front office has been far more active than the front office of the Yankees. As we all know, Ben Cherington lured two of the biggest fishes of the free agent pond yesterday. The funny thing is that when the Yankees are making moves like this Boston is shouting that…
