We’re halfway through November, which means we’ve got a good couple of weeks left before the sport presumably gets thrown into a lockout. It’ll become slim pickings for news then, but there’s a chance that the leadup to December gives us a preview of some new roster building — the Red Sox made the first move on the free agent market by signing Jake Bauers to a five-year deal the other day, and now that a domino has fallen perhaps others will follow. Here’s hoping the Yankees give us something of substance
to carry us through the next few months, but given the recent buzz has been about re-signing Tim Hill or acquiring Alec Bohm consider my expectations tempered.
It’ll be a quiet day as we round out the weekend, starting with Peter covering Joe Ostrowski’s career serving as a glue guy in the dynasty Yankees’ bullpen back in the early 50s. Matt then takes us back in time to a day when the Yankees managed to draw a scoreless tie, and then John will round things out with the weekly social media spotlight.
Questions/Prompts:
1. Do you expect the Yankees to make a significant signing or trade in the next two weeks before the lockout?
2. Are you concerned for the Knicks’ championship defense hopes after their 6-6 start?
