The New York Black Yankees are back? On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first African-American ballplayer in the major leagues.

Randy Winn signs 1 year deal with Yankees The Yankees have reached an agreement with 35 year old switch hitting OF Randy Winn, much more to come from this as it developed.  The story was broken by Joel Sherman.
Left Field Update: Nady and Sheets sign elsewhere - Damon return inevitable? ESPN is reporting that the Athletics have a one year deal in place with free agent right hander Ben Sheets.  The deal is believed to be in the area of $10MM for one season plus incentives.  More specifics surely to come in the next few hours/days.
