(Posada applies the tag. Photo courtesy of the New York Daily News) The 2001 New York Yankees, the winners of four World Series titles in five years, came dangerously close to getting knocked out in the first round. The Oakland Athletics were an extremely talented team. Their lineup was stacked with All-Stars such as Johnny Damon, future MVP Miguel Tejada, reigning MVP Jason Giambi, Jermaine Dye, and...

Theoretically, because of a "special accomplishment" provision, the arbitration process allows Thurman to negotiate without regard to service time, meaning Lincecum could be compared with any pitchers, meaning teammate Barry Zito (averaging $18 million annually) and CC Sabathia ($23 million average) could enter the conversation, meaning open the vault. Article VI Rule F (12) in the basic...

Because Macy's is putting on the city's 20th annual tree lighting ceremony that night. On Friday, 11/27, the Giant's other pitcher, Barry Zito will host a night that includes American Idol contestant...

On December 28th, 2006, the Giants signed 28-year-old lefty Barry Zito to a seven-year, $126MM contract with a full no-trade clause. At the time, it was the largest deal ever for a pitcher. Keep in mind that if Zito's 2014 option vests, his contract will end up paying $137MM. Henry Schulman and Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the Mets and Rangers were among four teams willing...

Holy Zombie Jesus, did a lot go down since the last time the Premier League kicked off a fortnight ago. First and foremost, my assumed title chase between Chelsea and Arsenal got thrown a wicked Barry Zito circa-2002 curveball. (Ok, for Brits, a wicked Googly.) Chelsea is going to have to play at least a couple matches -- and almost certainly the Nov. 29 match with the Gooners -- without midfield

There is a statistically-inclined rant after the jump that I think you all need to hear. Health is a skill. It’s why Barry Zito is as valuable as Rich Harden. It’s why Dan Haren is more valuable than, uh, *thinks*… Brandon Webb! (Haren is also a better pitcher than Webb, but that’s not totally the point.) [...]

Meet the Mets Bart Hubbuch writes that Wally Backman would be the logical heir to Jerry Manuel should the Mets dump their manager mid-season. Jason Fry is a little hesitant to take that risk . At this point, I can see the Mets going with Backman to appease the grission crowd, but it would be odd to jump over a candidate like Tim Teufel who has been a loyal, competent, and controversy-free manager in...

If you missed the State of the Sabean, here you go . Some of the key points: Brad Penny wants too much money. Juan Uribe wants too much money. Bengie Molina wants a multi-year deal, which the Giants aren’t willing to do. Trades stink because other teams want good players. The Giants are going to buy a new offense through free agency. They aren’t going to spend for Matt Holliday, so get...

George A. King III had a few interesting pieces of info in his article this morning , here's the rundown. King said that Cashman still doesn't have a concrete idea about the free agent market. The team has still not had their meetings but "will chair the pro scout meetings that start tomorrow, so the Yankees may know better what the markets -- trade and free agency -- look like." He also...

George A. King III of The NY Post has some Yankee rumbings for us today, so let's round 'em up... GM Brian Cashman said he's received calls from various agents, but hasn't returned them yet because he has to "wait to see about payroll." The team's pro scout meetings begin tomorrow, and after that Cashman will "take the ideas and estimated money to the Steinbrenner family." King...

Let's try to filter through all the rumor reports from the GM meetings... Milton Bradley We know Hendry has talked to the Rays, Rangers, Blue Jays, Mets and Angels and really only the Rays and Rangers seem to be showing any real interest and both want the Cubs to pay a hefty portion of Bradley's remaining contract. The two most discussed names coming back were Pat Burrell or Kevin Millwood. For those...

As has been documented on numerous occasions at TMS, other Cubs blogs, sports talk radio, and basically any every modern media platform, we are tired of Milton Bradley, and wish the saga would end. With any luck, Jim Hendry can work some magic (and take on an equally bad contract) this week at the GM meetings. To have to go into January, or God forbid Spring Training knowing that Bradley is still on...

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants are close to finalizing new deals for general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details were still being worked out and the club hadn't made a formal announcement. That could come as soon as this weekend but more likely on Monday during Bochy...
