Of course, the Mets and the Yankees could meet again sooner than next season.

The season has not yet turned to summer, but already the Yankees have met their first crisis.

The Yankees met the Mets with a $30 million edge.

It will be the first time the Yankees have met with Close since they discussed a seven-year, $118.5 million deal last winter.

Lidle was the first of the three new Yankees to meet reporters yesterday.

The Yankees met with him first, just after midnight on Dec. 23.

The reality is that the Yankees and the Red Sox will meet for a record 26th time this season.

After learning of the report yesterday morning, the Yankees almost immediately met with the commissioner's office.

The Yankees always meet before they open a series, but the timing was especially appropriate today.

Last year, the Yankees and the Red Sox met 26 times, more than any two teams had ever played in one season.
