Sir Sidney the Yankee

Everyone's favorite Aruban pitcher has signed a minor league deal with the Yanks...

I bet Joe Girardi will have a great time with him, if Sir Sidney makes it to the major league club...

Actually ...

... he asked for his release, he wasn’t cut. He was doing quite well at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

The start of the year

they had Morgan Ensberg and Jason Lane. The highest payroll in the league and they’re now forced to bottom-feed. I love it

i don't get this

we really couldn’t have grabbed some minor league fodder from the Yanks?

They probably

knew noone else was going to give us anything for him. They had no reason to trade anything of value for him.

It is a minor league deal

If they traded for him, they’d have had to put him on their 25 man roster.

Great pickup

by the Yankees.

Sidney was a Yankee for a month in 2006

The problem then was he had an elbow injury. I’m surprised they would go there again.
