1. Yankees deny team is for sale →

    From the New York Daily News:

    Multiple baseball and finance sources told the Daily News they are hearing that the team the Steinbrenner family has led to seven World Series titles could be put on the block in the wake of the record sale price of $2.175 billion the Los Angeles Dodgers went for in April. 

    “There has been chatter all around the banking and financial industries in the city for a couple of weeks now,” one high-level baseball source told The News.

    Naturally, as you might expect from reports like this, there are denials from the team:

    Yankee president Randy Levine adamantly denied the rumors: “I can say to you there is absolutely, positively nothing to this. The Steinbrenners are not selling the team.”
