The New York Yankees and the City University of New York are teaming up to identify students and alumni for career and business opportunities with the team.
The Yankees traded 3B Chase Headley, who is due $13 million in 2018, and reliever Bryan Mitchell to the Padres in exchange for outfielder Jabari Blash.
Brian Cashman will continue to be the GM of the Yankees, confirming that he's agreed to a new deal. Said owner Hal Steinbrenner: "I want him to stay."

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said he agreed with general manager Brian Cashman's decision to fire manager Joe Girardi and went as far to say the same move might have been made even if the team had won the World Series.
