Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira each homered and drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia stifled his former team and the New York Yankees handed the snakebit Seattle Mariners their 16th straight loss with a 10-3 victory Monday night.

Derek Jeter tied the score with a two-run single that sparked an eight-run rally in the seventh inning, Alex Rodriguez drove in the go-ahead run with yet another hit after an intentional walk to Mark Teixeira and the New York Yankees pummeled the New York Mets 9-3 Sunday in the finale of their weekend Subway Series.

Prince Fielder and the Milwaukee Brewers started off what's likely to be their final year together with a record.

Fielder and the club avoided salary arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a $15.5 million, one-year contract. The deal is the highest-single season contract for an arbitration-eligible player, surpassing Mark Teixeira's $12.5 million agreement with Atlanta in 2008.

Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer and Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher also went deep for the Yankees, who beat up on Oakland again in a 9-3 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night.

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has left New York's game against the Baltimore Orioles after three innings because of a bruised left foot.

Those $180 million-plus deals Joe Mauer and Mark Teixeira signed? They're merely starting points for Prince Fielder, who could become the next $200 million man, writes Jon Heyman.

It may be kind of hard to rebuild a team in New York City because the fans are so impatient for a winner.

However this may be a very long year for Knicks fans since it seems this team is intent of giving away the coming NBA season to strike it rich in the Free Agent market of 2010.

They have been cutting payroll and hope to clear enough space to land Lebron James, or Chris Bosh, or Dwayne Wade.

The New York Yankees did land CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and AJ Burnett all in one off season, might the Knicks try to do the same?
