    Not a big shock but it is somewhat news.

    Not a big deal, it looks like his best days are waaaaaay behind him. The power and the defense aren't there...at least he used to play good D (besides the horrendous arm).
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    yah, not too surprising. i guess i was just expecting the move (and announcement) to be made after the season. does he retire?

    Bernie said earlier he wasn't thinking about retiring after this season. I hope he gets a chance as a backup OF with someone, but I think this may be the end of the line considering he has limited use at the plate and no use in the field anymore. It'll be sad to see him go though...he's a class act and did some great things in a Yankee uniform.

    Bernie should retire and enjoy making his "music". He has nothing to prove and should retire a Yankee.

    I expect he'll be back for one more year at a very reduced salary as a bench player, he should never ever wear another uniform.
