Our friends at the Yankee site waswatching.com passed along a rumor about the Mets trading Beltran to the Yankees for Cano, plus Brian Bruney or Jose Veras and Ian Kennedy and more prospects and cash and maybe a couple...

At last count, seven people have e-mailed me about some internet rumor of a possible trade between the Mets and Yankees. Rob Neyer of ESPN.com commented on it today (subscription required) and now it’s going viral. The deal: Yankees get: Carlos Beltran. Mets get: Robinson Cano, Jose Veras (or Brian Bruney), Ian Kennedy, some other prospect and cash. Presumably, [...]

JOE Girardi walked toward the mound to remove Jose Veras in the eighth inning last night, and those among the 55,000-plus who could work up the energy and passion booed the Yankees manager. Most were occupied doing something else. Leaving. They...

The Yankees, as they often do after a day off, are having an early optional workout. In attendance: Johnny Damon, Alex Rodriguez, Brett Gardner, Cody Ransom, Andy Pettitte (who is taking grounders at shortstop), Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Jose Veras, Edwar Ramirez, Dave Robertson and Wilson Betemit. Does that make this an optional early blog post? I [...]

So this Arod fellow, he's pretty good at baseball. And the Yankees, while they didn't make up any ground on the Red Sox, they did pick up a game on the Rays. I've got my eyes on the prize until someone else clinches. And Jose Veras remains the (pleasant) surprise of the season. The 27 year-old has allowed 33 hits in 40 IP. His 16 walks are high, but his 42 Ks cover that up. Hitters are slugging only...

Yankees 4, Athletics 3 (12 innings): This see-saw battle ended on a strange play: Jose Molina got hit by a pitch to force in the game-winning run. The Yankees had a 2-0 lead in this one but Jose Veras let it -- and a win for Joba Chamberlain -- get away. Then Mariano Rivera allowed a run in the ninth, and the Yankees appeared dead. But after a caught stealing and a groundout left the Yankees with...

Mike Mussina did his best to make two weak runs stand up. Ditto Jose Veras and Kyle Farnsworth. So when the Yankees turned a two-run lead over to Mariano Rivera in the ninth today at Yankee Stadium, they truly believed they were three outs from a...

The tandem of José Veras, Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera stifled the Mets on one hit over the final three innings to protect Andy Pettitte’s lead.

Last night's impressive outing by Joba Chamberlain gave the Yankees a much-needed pick-me-up after the night before lasts' embarrassment. Despite the fact Joba wasn't in the pen to do the late work to set up for a Joba close in the non-save situation, relievers Russ Ohlendorf and Jose Veras were...

Might the Yankees have a bit of a bullpen dilemma this evening? Kyle Farnsworth has thrown two days in a row (32 pitches). Mariano Rivera has thrown three days in a row (42 pitches). Jose Veras went 1.1 innings yesterday (27 pitches). Who’s coming in if the game is close in the late innings? Mike Mussina has [...]

After cameos with the Yankees the last two seasons, José Veras is making an impact as a setup man in a bullpen that has lost Joba Chamberlain to the rotation.
