The Daily Yankeeland

Depending on how who you believe the Yankees either turned down a soft, last minute offer for Johan Santana or an absurd one.

Hank Steinbrenner, meanwhile, declined to say if the Yankees tried to top the Mets' offer, but did give the Mets a thumbs up- "I think the Twins did what they needed to do and I think the Mets made a good deal." Source

Judge Marc Gold ruled that Leyritz must stay away from alcohol and drugs, and must be blow into a breathalyzer 3 times daily. The ruling came after Leyritz pleaded "not guilty" of DUI and vehicular homicide. Source
