| November 12, 2007 Jorge Posada and the Yankees have agreed to a new deal, according to the New York Daily News. It's a four-year package reportedly worth $52.4 million. |
| November 1, 2007 While the Yankees have been slow in trying to work out a new deal with Jorge Posada, the Mets are preparing to make the catcher their No. 1 offseason priority, according to the New York Daily News. It's believed the Yankees have discussed offering Posada a three-year contract worth $40 million, but that may not be enough, especially if the Mets come over the top. |
| October 31, 2007 If Jorge Posada doesn't end up re-signing with the Yankees, might he make the move from The Bronx to Queens? The Mets have a need at catcher with Paul Lo Duca filing for free agency and are interested in Posada, according to the New York Post. The team is also interested in bringing Lo Duca back, but Posada would represent an upgrade if they are willing to spend more money. |
| October 23, 2007 The Yankees have yet to have any talks with soon-to-be free agent Jorge Posada, but they are planning on offering the veteran catcher a three-year contract worth about $40 million, according to The New York Daily News. Posada is coming off a career year, hitting .338 with 20 homers and 90 RBI. Several other teams have already expressed interest in the catcher, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he ultimately decided to return to New York. |
| August 13, 2007 Jorge Posada was back in the lineup on Monday after missing three straight days because of a stiff neck. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. |
| August 12, 2007 Jorge Posada missed his third straight game Sunday with a stiff neck. It's not clear if he'll be ready to go tomorrow against Baltimore. |
| August 12, 2007 Jorge Posada was out of the lineup for the second consecutive day with a stiff neck Saturday, the AP reports. He hopes to play on Sunday. "It's a lot better than it was," he said after getting treatment. |
| August 10, 2007 Jorge Posada was not in the starting lineup Friday because of a sore neck. "His neck has been sore for three days," manager Joe Torre told the AP. "He's getting treatment, but it hasn't responded." |
| August 3, 2007 Jorge Posada is considered day-to-day after leaving Thursday's contest with a bruised knee, according to Newsday. It's possible that he may get either today or Saturday off, but he's not expected to miss much time. |
| August 2, 2007 After a collision at the plate with Danny Richar, Jorge Posada was forced to exit Thursday's game in the eighth inning, according to the AP. He said he was fine after the contest and that he probably will be in the starting lineup on Friday. |
| July 19, 2007 Joe Torre says Jorge Posada will probably get Thursday off before catching Mike Mussina Friday, the AP reports. Backup catcher Wil Nieves has been catching Mussina regularly of late. |
| July 13, 2007 Jorge Posada plans to test the free-agent market at the end of the season, and will not negotiate a new deal now, according to Newsday. Posada, 35, has been in the Yankees organization since signing in 1991. "I've never experienced free agency. I'm looking forward to it. It's the first time ever." Posada's putting himself in a good negotiation position with his bat, hitting .327 with nine homers and 49 RBI so far this year. |
| June 17, 2007 Jorge Posada might play first base Tuesday night at Colorado so the Yankees can keep his bat in the lineup when backup Wil Nieves catches Mike Mussina, which has become the routine, the AP reports. If everything goes OK, Posada could be back at first when Mussina starts again Sunday in San Francisco. Had these games been in AL parks, the Yankees would consider giving Posada the start at DH. |
| May 10, 2007 Jorge Posada was given a routine night off Wednesday, the AP reports. He's expected to return to the lineup Thursday afternoon. |
| April 23, 2007 Jorge Posada was able to play Monday after missing two games with a bruised left thumb. Unfortunately, the catcher was hitless in four at-bats against the Devil Rays. |
| April 23, 2007 Yankees manager Joe Torre said he is "hopeful" that Jorge Posada will be able to return to the lineup tonight, according to the New York Daily News. Posada said yesterday that his bruised left thumb remained very swollen, though. |
| April 22, 2007 Jorge Posada is not expected to return to the mix for Sunday's game, according to the New York Daily News. He missed Saturday's contest due to the bruised left thumb he sustained on Friday. |
| April 21, 2007 Jorge Posada was not available for Saturday's game against the Red Sox because of a sore thumb, according to the AP. "He said he couldn't feel the ball," manager Joe Torre said. |
| April 21, 2007 The Yankees consider Jorge Posada to be questionable for the remainder of the weekend due to his injured thumb, according to the New York Daily News. He sustained a bruised thumb when he was hit by pitch while catching last night, though X-rays were negative. "It's bruised and swollen; nothing is broken," Posada said. "It will be a couple of days, probably." Look for Wil Nieves to start behind the plate on Saturday. |
| April 20, 2007 Jorge Posada left Friday's game with the Red Sox because of an injured thumb, according to the Associated Press. X-rays came back negative and he is considered day-to-day. |
| April 6, 2007 Jorge Posada will play Saturday even though it's a day game after a night game, according to the AP. Posada will give way to backup Wil Nieves Sunday. |
