After months of speculation involving teams from coast to coast, Mark Teixeira has finally come to an agreement with the New York Yankees.Eight years and $180 million is what the first baseman signed for.  This means the Steinbrenners have committed to shelling out $423.5 million in the past month.  This is not counting the funds being funneled into the new stadium.The two-time Gold Glove winner

It looks like the Yankees have swooped in and got Teixeira.From Boston.com: Sports Illustrated.com and ESPN's Peter Gammons are both reporting that the New York Yankees are on the verge of signing first baseman Mark Teixeira to an eight-year, $180 million contract.It looks like New York -- as some thought -- may have swept him away with a last minute surprise (or they just kept things hush-hush).

If you needed another example of why Pittsburghers are frustrated with Major League Baseball, take a look at this year's free agent moves and you'll see why. The New York Yankees just got done dropping $243.5 million on C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, adding the two initialed pitchers to a team that features Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, among others.But back in the world of reality, the Pirates

BURNETT TO THE YANKEES!!! WOW. THIS TEAM JUST GOT PRETTY DAMN GOOD.Jerry Crasnick/ESPN.Com:Free agent right-hander A.J.

BSNblog reports that C.C. Sabathia and the New York Yankees are close to reaching an agreement to sign a contract for seven years and about $ 160 million, which would be a record for a pitcher.The Yankees and the pitcher's representatives had not yet reached a written agreement, said on Wednesday a person with knowledge of the negotiations, who spoke to the AP on condition remain anonymous because

CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees were closing in Wednesday on a seven-year contract worth about US$160 million, a deal that would be a record for a pitcher.

However, it is New York and Philadelphia who have been most aggressive, according to the report.Yankees

Mark Feinsand/New York Daily News:While most of the attention in the Yankees' universe is focused on CC Sabathia, the Bombers are preparing to make an offer to another free agent pitcher from Milwaukee in the next 72 hours.According to a source, the Yankees will offer Ben Sheets a multiyear deal - most likely for two years in the $26 million range - before the winter meetings conclude on Thursday.

Ed Price/The Star Ledger:The Yankees announced they are not offering arbitration to any of their free agents. It means they will not get draft-pick compensation when they sign elsewhere.A recent rule change means that the Yankees are still allowed to re-sign any of the players.In the case of Andy Pettitte, the Yankees want him back, but at less than the $16 million he made this year.

Press Release/Yankees.com:The New York Yankees announced today Joe Girardi's coaching staff for the 2009 season.

Dave Eiland (pitching coach), Kevin Long (hitting coach) and Mike Harkey (bullpen coach) will return in the roles they served in 2008.

I figured the Yankees couldn't pass on Marte while they had him locked up. The money is right, the years maybe a tad long...but a better option than Farnsworth for the 8th inning in my opinion.The New York Yankees signed left-handed relief pitcher Damaso Marte to a three-year contract on Wednesday.The move came after the Yankees declined Marte's contract option for 2009, making him a free agent.F

So the inevitable Manny whispers have begun, CC is waiting for the contract offer that will set the market and AJ Burnett is preparing his opt out letter.
