  Bleacher Report - Front Page — Authority: 766
  With free agency looming next week, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman has a few important decisions to make. Free agency for all of baseball will not officially start until Friday, Nov. 20, but the Yankees can negotiate exclusively with the players on the roster whose contracts are up. Specifically, Johnny ...

• Aroldis Chapman Has Control Concerns

  
  Cardinals Best News Links — Authority: 457
  I talked to one source who said Aroldis Chapman has exactly the arm and raw stuff that he’s touted as having, but his control remains a bit erratic. Doesn’t mean he won’t be a great pitcher, just means he’s not a finished product. As for who will get him, the price will rule out all but the usual suspects. ...

• Yanks Will Look For Veteran Option For Rotation

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  Contrary to published reports, the Yankees are not, I repeat, not satisfied with standing pat with the rotation as currently constructed, and will not rely solely on internal options to fill any voids. We contacted our main Yankees source down in Tampa on Tuesday night, who reiterated that the team is “ready and ...

  Cardinals Best News Links — Authority: 457
  Scott Boras declined to toss out a specific dollar figure in his public sales pitch for outfielder Matt Holliday on Tuesday. But he spent enough time comparing Holliday to his last big position player free agent -- Mark Teixeira -- to create a distinct impression what kind of money he has in mind.ESPN

• Yanks Like Internal Rotation Options

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  It sounds like the Yankees are very comfortable with filling out their rotation internally . First it appears they are going to bring back Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin. There is also speculation that Chien Ming Wang would take a lesser deal to stay in New York because of the marketing opportunities the Yankees ...

• GM Meetings

  
  Yanks and more — Authority: 133
  There really isnt much news out of the meetings. It is really just a precursor to the Winter Meetings next month and with the World Series just ending I think it makes it even that more difficult. The Yankees are going to be really patient. The rumor today by Joel Sherman is that the Yankees are going to look to ...

  Swamigp's Sports Blog — Authority: 119
  The Philadelphia Phillies need a third baseman. Look no further than speedy Chone Figgins, a hitting machine who dazzled with the Anaheim Angels and is now a free-agent. The Boston Red Sox were busy to begin the offseason, acquiring outfielder Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins, and remained busy in their ...

• Hot Stove: Figgins, Holliday, Halladay, and Lackey

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter from down Tampa way that the Yankees “might” explore signing none other than long time nemesis Chone Figgins. Figgins is a very good player who could help lots of teams, but he doesn’t seem to be a good fit in the Bronx, simply for the fact that there really is no ...

• Yankees Could Keep Pettitte, Damon, Matsui

  
  MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com — Authority: 730
  2:15pm: Just because the Yankees would prefer to keep Damon on a one-year deal doesnt mean thats possible. Speaking to Jon Heyman, Scott Boras compared Damon to Jorge Posada , who got a four-year deal and Derek Jeter , who is expected to receive one, too. 11:49am: Lohud.coms Chad Jennings notes that the ...

• Could the Yanks keep all three free agents?

  
  River Avenue Blues — Authority: 645
  When discussing the pending free agencies of Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon , the refrain all season long was that the Yankees would probably keep one and cut loose the other. On the surface, that seemed to make sense. Both players will be 36 next year, so they don’t fit with the Yankees’ supposed plan to get ...

• Non-starter

  
  Philliesflow.com — Authority: 126
  The Playoff Start Log is updated and I think it says a lot about what went wrong for the Phillies in the World Series. In 2008 the Phils won it all, getting five quality starts in five World Series games. After Lee allowed one run in nine innings in game one of the NLDS against the Rockies this year, the Phils had ...

  From Joel Sherman : The Yankees are strategizing ways to retain all three of their major free agents -- Johnny Damon, Andy Pettitte and Hideki Matsui -- sources told The Post. Damon and Pettitte are the priorities. But when asked if that meant Matsui had played his last game in pinstripes, one team executive said, ...

• Nostalgia vs. Common Sense

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  One of the biggest surprises to me during the GM meetings is the belief the Yankees will attempt to keep Johnny Damon, Andy Pettitte, and Hideki Matsui versus focusing on Matt Holliday, Jason Bay, and John Lackey. To me that’s the wrong move because it is predicated on nostalgia of the past versus objectively ...

  Redemption is a word that has been thrown around a lot this week in relation to Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. After a spring that saw him admit to steroid use in an awkward press conference, hip surgery that robbed him of the first month of the season, and the ever present label of playoff choker, Rodriguez ...

• Rotation Depth is a Must

  
  Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog — Authority: 608
  Last offseason, we got a complete overhaul of the pitching rotation. After the debacle of the 2004-2008 rotations, it was clear that the Yanks needed some help. So, Brian Cashman took advantage of a strong pitching market and went out and got C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett for the rotation. The two pitched well and ...
