I thought drama was saved for episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and 90210, what’s with the all of the rumors and “betrayal” as of late? Although, I must admit baseball is getting a lot of publicity with pitchers and catchers reporting in a mere 10 days.

Abre-BOO Rumor Isn’t True

While Kenny Williams has refused to comment on the rumors that the Sox offered Yankee, Bobby Abreu a one-year, $8 million contract I have to believe this simply isn’t true. They have a great right fielder in Jermaine Dye and an $11.5 million contact attached. With this economy, they can’t expect to trade him that easily and who’s to say they want to?

Williams’ commented saying”I can’t keep up with these bloggers’ pace,” although he told MLB.com that Abreu is “a great player and can help any club.”

Besides, I thought the Yankees were going for an all Yankee All-Star team this year, unless they swap for JD, that isn’t going to happen.

Clubhouse Code?

This afternoon on Jim Rome is burning, they were debating the Torre book and potential consequences it may have for the current Yankee locker room. Oh no, say it ain’t so, DerekJeter and A-Rod will be mad at each other? Jim Rome and his “panel” are going back in forth on whether or not Jim Torre broke locker room code by publishing some of the events that went on behind closed doors. Tom Friend, Features Reporter for ESPN said “I would expect something like this from Ozzie Guillen but not Jim Torre.” Yep, Guillen speaks his mind and we all appreciate the truth on the South Side, maybe something the rest of Major League Baseball isn’t ready for quite yet.
