Here’s a Yankee site that you must check out, bookmark, and make part of your regular Yankee reading: 161st and River (not to be confused with the stellar River Ave. Blues–and speaking of RAB, they have word today that the Yankees have reportedly resigned Ichiro and are close to a deal with Andy Pettitte).
As for 161st and River, dig these recent posts: ALCS Programs; Whirled Serious Programs; SI Covers.
Sweeney Murti says the deal is not done, it's just a rumor. Maybe someone in Japan media has an itchy trigger finger or a close deadline? Or just a smoke screen, perhaps...
1) Hmmm.
Mets' offer to David Wright is 7 years about $135-140M...
Alderson is ready for the old folk's home, no?
Andy!
LoHud denied it, too. Last time I checked.
They will print anything in the Japanese sports dailies. They are very much like U.S. tabloids, but a little closer to the Weekly World than the Daily News.
I hope it comes true, though.
