- The AP reported today that Joba Chamberlain may start the season in the bullpen, while MLB.com reported that Dave Eiland said, "Anything can happen, so you don't rule anything out," pitching coach Dave Eiland said in a telephone interview. "But we're going into it right now with Joba as a starter. We're going to see where that takes us." So I guess that's still being figured out.
- Peter Abraham reports that Robinson Cano has finalized his deal, here's the breakdown:
2008: $3 million- David Cone will be joining the YES network for the upcoming season. He will broadcast about 50 games on YES, and will host Yankees On Deck.
2009: $6 million
2010: $9 million
2011: $10 million
2012: $14 million or a $2 million buyout
2013: $15 million or a $2 million buyout
- The Santana trade talks seem to be gaining steam again, but this time for the cross-town rival New York Mets. Also an article out of the Domincan Republic is reporting that the Mets probably will not give to permission Carlos Gomez to play in the Caribbean Series. This may mean that they want to make sure he remains healthy while his name is being thrown around in trade offers.
- Whitey Ford is going to auction off his memorabilia collection at this year's DHL All-Star FanFest in New York on July 15 and 16. The collection consists of several hundred items, acquired over Ford's career in baseball.
- Something Super Bowl related, (with a hat tip to Big Blue View) it seems the folks over at The Boston Globe have gotten a little ahead of themselves. Due for release on Feb. 11 is a book titled 19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots.
Now I'm not saying the Giants are going to win (I hope they do), but you would think the people up in Boston would know not to count their chickens before they hatch.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
