Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

RUMOR: Manny to Yanks 3y/75mm?

Just stumbled on this, no idea how legit it is, but given how they swooped in on Teixeira at the last minute I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.

El dominicano Manny Ramírez está a punto de firmar un contrato de tres años y 75 millones de dólares con los Yanquis de Nueva York, según se confió este domingo a Impactodeportivo.com.do.

Las negociaciones están bien avanzadas y entre el lunes y martes se haría el anuncio oficial.

Manny quería seguir los Dodgers, pero Los Angeles no querían flojar el billete.

Ramírez, quien bateó .332, con 37 jonrones y 121 remolcadas entre Boston y los Dodgers, será una atracción en Nueva York.

A similar piece was written a couple of months back

They were wrong then, too.

Here’s what Cashman said about Manny yesterday:

Though the general manager continues to decline comment on Joe Torre’s book, “The Yankee Years,” he said on Tuesday that his club is done with its big spending and will not pursue the free-agent slugger.

“Ultimately, we’ve made our decision,” Cashman said. "We chose to put that money into Mark Teixeira to play first base. I do hear rumblings [that] people actually expect us to get in on Manny. That’s not going to happen.

Thank you, Brian

As great a hitter that he is, we simply don’t need him and his aura on this team—not now.

iirc, this article was linked to many times

when it was first reported, but that was months ago, and was obviously untrue then.

i’ll continue to hope though.
