Good morning. Before we get to today’s links, I just personally want to address something. As you well know, these link dumps are fueled by the New York sports media. My job, and the job of my other fellow morning link crew, is to search for the best & most relevant news stories and articles related to the New York Yankees. We then provide a nice post for you to view them all in, such as this one. Yesterday, a long-standing source that helps us do that task was brutally and indefensibly gutted.
After massive layoffs on Monday, the New York Daily News sports staff was just reduced to nine people.
