The Daily Yankeeland

With Mariano Rivera back in the fold, the Yankees are now looking to strengthen the bridge to Mariano. Though it's a long shot the Yankees have been in contact with the White Sox about closer Bobby Jenks. Since Jenks isn't arbitration eligible until 2009, we don't see the White Sox dealing them unless they can get a very good package in return. Source

After his announced MVP win, A-Rod held a press conference with reporters. He spoke a little about his pending contract and his love for the Pinstripes.
"There is a privilege in wearing that uniform,'' said Rodriguez, who contacted the team without Scott Boras about negotiating his next contract. "I said from day one that I wanted to be a Yankee. The potential to win championships and set records with the Yankees is exciting.''

In addition to his in-season Thursday Q&A with Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN, Joe Girardi will also appear with them once a month in the 0ff-season. Gi Joe's 1st guest spot was last week, but most of the Q&A was what we had already heard since his hiring. He did give some hope to Mo coming back after his meeting with the closer in the Dominican. And of course he was right.
