There was a point in the last week where it may have seemed that Hiroki Kuroda was going to pitch elsewhere in 2013. Eat without worry, my friends. Kuroda is indeed coming back to the Yankees next season.
Here's something to be thankful for: Mariano Rivera on a pitcher's mound.
The American League East champions passed on pursuing the Marlins' top players, and instead are focusing on re-signing starting pitchers Andy Pettitte and Hiroki Kuroda.
"I can only say the Yankees told us they were interested in signing Soriano while expecting Rivera to come back," agent Scott Boras said.
Can he come back to be the Great Mariano after such a severe injury? There is room for doubt, so the Yankees must fortify the rest of their setup corps as well. Does that include Rafael Soriano?
To the delight of Yankees fans, Mariano Rivera informed Brian Cashman he will return for the 2013 season.
We need Mariano Rivera once more -- for a proper salute, for our sanity and for his sanctity. Please give us just a few more deeds under brown leaves, before He leaves.
Has Rafael Soriano thrown his last pitch in pinstripes?
The surefire Hall of Famer vowed he wouldn't retire after tearing his ACL in early May, but now it seems his future in the Bronx -- check that, in baseball -- is very much up in the air.
Yankees fans will miss Mariano Rivera terribly, no doubt. It happens. But better to have a glorious career end this way than in potential failure.
This has to be the biggest turning point offseason since 2008. Only this time the Yankees enter the winter with a whole lot of issues -- and not many easy answers.
While the Yankees will have plenty of decisions to make this offseason, the one that will garner the most headlines and create the biggest stir is what — or what not — to do with A-Rod.
How will Cashman address his aging team? Will he attempt to go younger or will he stick with his older guns? Will he attempt to deal the virtually untradeable A-Rod? Will he re-sign Nick Swisher? As usual, the longtime GM didn't disclose his plans.
Hank Steinbrenner says too much blame is being directed at Alex Rodriguez for Detroit's sweep of the Yankees, and won't address whether the slumping star will be back in New York next season.
The Yankees long run at or near the top of the American League seems likely to come to an end next year. The reality of the situation is that the Yankees have gotten old.
Rodriguez's contract is an albatross that the Yankees are going to be forced to live with. The Bombers made their bed with A-Rod, and now they're going to have to lie in it.
Derek Jeter had scans on Sunday which confirmed the fracture. He has not accompanied the Yankees in Detroit. His recovery was initially expected to take three months, but that timetable is now longer.
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
Joe Girardi must finish the job. He took the first step when he put Alex Rodriguez (.083 in the series) on the bench in the ninth inning on Wednesday night and had Raul Ibanez pinch-hit for him. He must now leave him there.
Left-handed pitcher Manny Banuelos, rated the Yankees' preseason No. 1 prospect according to Baseball America, will have Tommy John surgery on October 4, general manager Brian Cashman confirmed to The Trentonian on Tuesday.
If you want those of us who eulogized Jeter last year to apologize, you got it. I'm sorry. But to bend the other way and embalm the man in faerie dust is equally misguided. He's great, just not the greatest.
No matter whose mistakes cost the Yankees in their sixth loss in nine games, they need to straighten things out: the quickly closing Baltimore Orioles are coming to the Bronx for three games starting Friday.
Though the season still has a ways to go, it hasn't been a storybook return for the Yankees reliever following Tommy John surgery and a right ankle dislocation. And now the Nebraska native might have to take a step backwards.
Mariano Rivera will visit the upstate New York thoroughbred track on Friday, where the third race will be named "The Spa Welcomes Mo!" He'll appear in the winner's circle to address the crowd and present the trophy to the winner.
