Change has finally rained upon the land of America. Barack Obama, a 47-year old senator, won the Presidential Election over John McCain and became the 1st African-American President in the history of the U.S. Barack’s the 44th president of the U.S. in its long history, dating all the way back to G.W. It’s good to know that the Yankees’ nation (NY) supported Obama in electorial votes. (Yes, I am an Obama supporter, ha).
Enough of that, let’s put the politics aside. It’s time for some new updates about the Yankees.
CC SABATHIA. This offseason’s biggest pitching prize finally met with the Yankees. Well, of course Sabathia didn’t go in person. Rather, he sent his agents to meet with the Yankees. Of course, this bit of news comes from our favorite Ken Davidoff.
Orlando Hudson. This is an interesting case. Originally, the Hudson scenerio was created when Robinson Cano was rumored to be included in trades. Hudson would become the Yankees’ starting second baseman if that happens. However, with Cashman saying Cano is staying put in the Bronx, what’s the point in signing Hudson? Jon Heyman says that the Yankees COULD convert Hudson into a centerfielder. We all know Hudson’s athletic, but changing positions from the infield all the way to the outfield? No way…
JAKE PEAVY. Drumroll, please. The ongoing saga of ace Jake Peavy continues. Although the Yankees are now officially included in the hunt for Peavy, Barry Axelrod, Peavy’s agent, has not confirmed that his client would approve a deal to the American League (to the Yankees.) Axelrod also said that Peavy would require extra “stuff” to convince him to play in the Bronx. “Stuff” most likely means an extension, which, of course, is MONEY. Everyone’s greedy nowadays, but I guess that’s an example of the good lives aces get.
That’s all for today. See you next time!

Peavy’s agent, Axelrod, is a downright liar, I think. Peavy approves the Yanks, but his agent just wants money, like you said, Victor. Seriously. Peavy’s contract is big enough, but he wants more money??? Come on… we don’t need him. CC TO NY!
Don’t you think it’s cool to be an ace…??? Of course…aces are the life. You get to have millions of fans, and money isn’t a problem. Basically, you have everything if you’re a great ace.
