Around the Empire

For the Win | Ted Berg: Alex Rodriguez is having a magnificent postseason. While A-Rod is not contributing with his bat, his baseball acumen and superb analysis have shined a light on him in the Fox Sports broadcast booth. While the Yankees want him to be their minor league instructor, A-Rod is showing that the YES booth might also be a potential destination. While DadRod is still the best Rod, AnalystRod is definitely in the top 3 list of Rods.

Today’s Knuckleball | Jon Heyman: Jon Heyman, or Fred as he’s known to baristas across the country, claims that Derek Holland of the Texas Rangers might be available. According to one of his sources, possibly a barista, the Rangers might be willing to move the left-hander to get him off the books. The Yankees could be interested in his services.

Yankees Magazine | Jon Schwartz: There is a lot to look forward to in 2017. One of those things is the return of Greg Bird. The AFL has given us a glimpse into his recovery. This article talks about his road back and what he has dealt with. Please give this a read.
