Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankees, tagged on March 8, 2013 | 1 Comment »

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) Earlier in the week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Allen Craig was patiently awaiting the terms of a new contract for 2013. Apparently, the organization and third-year player couldn’t come to an agreement, so, the two sides decided to commit for five years instead. Long-term extensions for pre-arbitration players […]

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) Attendance has become a hot topic in the Bronx, and, after two weeks of Spring Training, it seems as if the issue has followed the Yankees to Tampa.
