What Happens in the Bronx

According to Newsday's Wallace Matthews, the Yankees are considering putting a "non-disparagement" clause in future contracts.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a Yankee official said yesterday that some members of the front office staff already are required to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to protect "proprietary knowledge of our business model." The proposed clause is intended to ensure that future books about the Yankees are "positive in tone," and "do not breach the sanctity of our clubhouse."

Given the 1st Amendment, we don't know how it would ever hold up in court.
