New York Notes: Andruw Jones, Buchholz, Pettitte

By Mark Polishuk | January 7, 2011 at 8:14pm CDT

The MLBTR team sends its condolences to the friends and family of Ryne Duren, the hard-throwing right-hander who passed away today at age 81.  Duren pitched for seven teams over his 10 seasons in the majors, but is best remembered as a Yankee for his role in helping the Bronx Bombers win the 1958 World Series.  Duren posted a 2.02 ERA and a 10.3 K/9 rate that season, also leading the league with 20 saves.

Some Yankee and Met-related items…

  • The Yankees have "started talks" with Andruw Jones, tweets Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, though "nothing's close" between the two sides.  Heyman mentioned the Bombers were "considering" Jones a few days ago.
  • The newly-signed Taylor Buchholz can double his $600K base salary from the Mets if he makes the 25-man roster and reaches various games played incentives, reports Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.
  • Also from Rubin (Twitter link), if the Mets do add another starting pitcher, they don't want to pay more than the $1.5MM (plus another $1.5MM in incentives) they paid to sign Chris Capuano.
  • ESPNNewYork.com's Wallace Matthews speculates that Andy Pettitte may be holding off on a return to the Yankees due to his pending testimony this summer at Roger Clemens' federal perjury trial.
  • The Yankees haven't begun negotiating with their three arbitration-eligible players (Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and Boone Logan) yet, reports Chad Jennings of the LoHud Yankees blog.
  • There is "no deal imminent" for Jeremy Bonderman, tweets FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi.  The Yankees and Tigers were both connected to the right-hander earlier this week.

      How do you still manage to spell Buchholz wrong when it’s at the top of the page?

            Yeah, it was a poor attempt at humor, I’m quitting while I’m not too far behind.

    Did not know that Ryne Duren passed away today and since he was not really that well known to baseball fans.. Might not have found out for some time. Thank you for letting us know Mark, he actually was a favorite of mine when was young, even though he played for the Yankees just because he threw OH SO HARD and really had the intimidation factor thrown in by peering in at the plate as he did with those thick lenses in his glasses… Like.. Don’t get comfy, cause i got no idea where am looking at and no control anyway..

    Thank you once again for that.

    Jones makes alot of sense hopefully we can sign him by next week and focus on bullpen and backup infielders.

      The Phils should step up here and steal another player out from underneath the Yanks. Jones would be a great platoon partner for Dominic Brown in RF…

    You’re tellin me not one single team would give Andruw Jones a chance as a starter? I dont believe it Royals! After all, hes an ex-Brave

      Its why Jones could never sign a one day contract with Atlanta to retire as a Brave. As soon as he retired, DM would call with a three-year offer…

      Yes, please; before the Yankees sign him to a multi year deal.

    I wonder if, now without George, we are seeing the new generation of Yankee ownership. One which is super cautious about pulling any significant moves.

      If only that were true. Hopefully Bonderman goes to Chi town just to stick to Leyland & Co.

      And if they signed Lee it would be, “Same old Yankees, overpaying a 32 year old for 7 years! Let the young kids play!”

      What could be going over in the NYY ownership circles is being held up as the posterchild at the after the season CBA meetings as the Prime example of what is wrong with the game and with no Georgie around anymore, neither brother willing to be used as a 29 other owner punching bag.

      Easy way out is to let another team creep up and get close to them salary wise for a season, maybe even pass them and let them point fingers at them like “we ain’t the only ones with high salaries” then go back to normal (for them) and have 200m+ payroll 2012 onwards after the CBA agreement is finished.

    Wrote about the Pettitte/Clemens speculation on my blog two weeks ago. Welcome to the party, Wallace.

    I think the Yanks will wait to see what Pettittes doing before they make a move. If Andy comes back then the Yanks go with Nova at the 5th spot. This is their first choice at this point. If Andy retires they would pick up a pitcher like Bonderman for the 4th spot.
