Phillies' Romero, Yankees' Mitre suspended 50 games New York, NY (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher J.C. Romero and New York Yankees pitcher Sergio Mitre have each been suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a banned substance. Romero, who went 4-4 with a 2.75 earned run average and one save in 81 regular season games last year, was suspended after an appeal process, in which an arbitrator ruled Romero was guilty of negligence. He'll lose $1.25 million in salary in the 50-game suspension. According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, the 33-year-old Romero purchased an over-the-counter supplement at a GNC store in July and checked it with his nutritionist. Then on August 26, Romero gave a urine sample for a routine drug test and on September 19 he submitted another sample. According to the report, MLB offered Romero a deal, to be suspended immediately for 25 games or face a longer suspension in 2009 after moving through the arbitration process.

Report: Pettitte turns down Yankees' $10M offer
4 hours ago - sports.espn.go.com
Report: Pettitte rejects Yankees' offer The left-handed starter has rejected the Yankees' one-year, $10 million offer, The New York Times reported, citing a person with knowledge of the negotiations. The New York Daily News reported that according to a person close to the situation, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has "had dialogue" in recent days with Pettitte's agents, Randy and Alan Hendricks. "Andy's a free agent, and the one thing Ive been consistent in saying is that we'd like to have Andy back," Cashman said last month, according to the Daily News. That's set up for maybe a positive end result. It doesn't guarantee it." Last month, Pettitte told The Times that he wanted to return to the Yankees but was leaving the matter to his agents. And that comes at the same time the team has pledged $180 million to first baseman Mark Teixeira and a combined $243.5 million for starting pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. (Sorry, Beasley fans.) The BCS title game should be a high-scoring affair.

Andy Pettitte still wants to rejoin the New York Yankees , and the Yankees want the veteran back in pinstripes. But dollars may prevent a happy reunion for the longtime stalwart, who could be ready to walk away from his stated hopes of pitching in the club's new stadium. The New York Times reported late Monday that Pettitte has rejected the Yankees' one-year, $10 million offer, and the Yankees no longer have a standing offer for the 36-year-old left-hander. The Yanks'll get him, CHEAPER than what he offered. Andy, you don't deserve more than 10 million.You made your money,now give back to the empire.Go Yankees. I wanted to believe that when he left the first time it was just to follow his buddy and try something new. They can give 82 million to AJ Burnett and 160 million to CC Sabathia but they cant give an extra 6 million to Andy.

spending spree won't derail Tampa from its stay-the-course philosophy Yes, the Tampa Bay Rays are well aware of the New York Yankees' drunken-sailor spending spree this offseason. It's impossible not to notice when a division rival spends $423.5 million to sign three free agents: starting pitchers A.J. "Of course, we monitor closely what the Yankees do," said Andrew Friedman, Tampa Bay's executive vice president of baseball operations. Tampa Bay finished 11th in RBIs from DHs last season with 78, but that was better than right field. Not considered a prospect going into last season, Joyce reached the majors and had 12 homers with a .492 slugging percentage in 242 at-bats with the Tigers. He also had 65 strikeouts in 242 at-bats. "You break us down from last year, and it was primarily done through pitching and defense," Maddon said.
