Funny lines from that link about the putz in the stands:

Beer - $5
Madonna Pictures - $10
Look on your face when A-Rod sees you making fun of him - Priceless
...
Looks like the guys in the crowd were having fun teasing Alex Rodriguez on all the Madonna drama that?s been going on lately, that is until he actually turned around and looked them in the eye!

The New York Yankees have reached a tentative agreement with Richie Sexson, who was released by the Seattle Mariners a week ago.

Sexson fits in New York because the Yankees needed a right-handed slugger to match up against left-handed pitching -- and Sexson had a .344 average against lefties this year.

Assuming the deal is completed, he'll be in the lineup Saturday against Oakland.

Contd....

ESPN - Yankees add Nady, Marte in trade with Pirates - MLB

The Yankees agreed Friday evening to a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates that would give New York left-handed pitcher Damaso Marte and right fielder Xavier Nady.

The Pirates will receive four minor leaguers including right-handed pitcher Ross Ohlendorf, right-handed pitcher George Kontos, left-handed pitcher Phil Coke and right fielder Jose Tabata in return. The trade is tentative pending physicals.

Kind of surprised to see them give up on Tabata so early.

Ohlendorf has had several ML appearances, beginning last year. He was solid last year, struggled this year. I think he could be pretty good for the pirates - or maybe anywhere that is not the Bronx... (he's also another Princeton kid and was a helluva intramural basketball player )

ESPN is reporting that Posada will undergo shoulder surgery and be out for the year.

ESPN - Yankees find their catcher for stretch, trade for Rodriguez - MLB

Yankees find their catcher for stretch, trade for Rodriguez

The New York Yankees have found a replacement for Jorge Posada.
New York acquired catcher Ivan Rodriguez from the Tigers on Wednesday for right-handed pitcher Kyle Farnsworth.

The deal was first reported by ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.
Rodriguez, who is in the option year of the $50 million contract he signed with the Tigers in 2004, waived his no-trade clause to join the Yankees, sources told ESPN.com.

"He's hitting over .290 I believe and he's been hot so we're looking forward to having him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after New York's 13-3 rout of the Orioles on Wednesday.

Rodriguez is batting .295 this season with five home runs and 32 RBIs in 82 games. In 18 seasons with the Rangers, Marlins and Tigers, he's hit .302 with 293 homers and 1,214 RBIs...

Now just 4.5 back of #1 in the AL East; 1.5 back of the Wild Card...

Huge pick up for the Yankees.

I lived in NY for a few years when I was a youngster and got to watch Mantle and Maris play. Grew up a Yankees fan and so I'm happy about the trade.
