 Adding the DH in the National League is long overdue
Adding the DH in the National League is long overdue
It is safe to say that I rarely agree with Hank Steinbrenner, who is part of the new New York Yankees braintrust (does that qualify as an oxymoron?). However, I share his sentiment about National League baseball. The senior circuit needs to incorporate the designated hitter. Steinbrenner would like to see the DH added in the National League for selfish purposes. Chien-Ming Wang is out ...

White removed from 40-man roster
Steven White , a Triple-A pitcher, has been removed from the 40-man roster, according to the Post's Joel Sherman . He passed through waivers and will remain with the team.

There was plenty of speculation that Ian Kennedy would make his return to the New York Yankees on June 27th. That day the Yankees will be playing a split-stadium, day-night doubleheader against the New York Mets.
