Yankees May Look To Get John Lackey, Not Roy Halladay, After Three-Team Trade
Posted: 8th December 2009 by Doug Rush in MLB
By now, everyone has heard that the Yankees made a three-way deal with the Tigers and Diamondbacks to acquire centerfielder Curtis Granderson for 2010.
This deal almost ensures the Yankees have found their new permanent fixture in centerfield, and it could mean Melky Cabrera might be on the trading block now.
With this trade, you also have to wonder if the Yankees will be big players for Roy Halladay like they were ...

Posted: 8th December 2009 by Doug Rush in MLB
Late last night, I had reported that the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Tigers were dicussing a three-team blockbuster trade at MLB's Baseball Winter Meetings.
Last night, the trade was vetoed and the teams went back to talking to work on it.

Yankees, Tigers, Diamondbacks Possibly Working on Blockbuster Deal?
Posted: 8th December 2009 by Doug Rush in MLB
Today was the first day of the Winter Meetings held in Indianapolis. The Yankees were already making headlines from the meeting.
First, they sent away inconsistent reliever Brian Bruney to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later.

But the big news came during the night time, a possible three-way ...

Next week will begin the annual General Managers meetings in Indianapolis. Many expect the free agency period to really get into motion once those meetings take place.
Yankees' GM Brian Cashman has a lot of decisions to make as far as the 2010 roster, which will be looking to defend their World Series.
Everyone has been talking lately of the rumors of the Yankees making a trade to get Blue Jays' starting ...
This week will start a very important month of football that determines a team's fate. That's right, December football is here.
The weather starts to really dip and get cold in areas, especially for me on the East coast, where teams like the Giants, Jets, and Eagles will all have to deal with the northeast winds and cold coming. And so will the Patriots, but they usually get 500 feet of ...
With Thanksgiving over and the Christmas season in full swing, baseball's free agency period and winter off-season shopping and trading will likely now pick up full steam.
The biggest name on the trading market is Blue Jays ace pitcher Roy Halladay.
Halladay's agent recently named four teams Halladay prefers: the Red Sox, Phillies, Dodgers, and Yankees.
Brian Cashman has already made calls to Toronto to state his interest in Halladay, who is looking ...
It's Week Twelve of the NFL season, and it's also Thanksgiving week.
In the past years, there has always been two games on this holiday, which usually were just the Lions at home against their opponent and the Cowboys and their opponent, which is fine because it is tradition, but lately, those games haven't been as great, so the league added a third game at night on the NFL Network, which ...
Week Ten of the NFL saw some changes made when the week was over.
After being cut by the Chiefs, Larry Johnson was recently signed by the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals already have another castoff in Cedric Benson, who has energized his career in Cincinnati.
If Johnson follows the same route as Benson has, who had trouble with the Chicago Bears and has been trouble-free with the Bengals, Johnson too could ...
