Yankees reach agreement with Chinese
The Yankees are busy today, sending out another release, this time on their agreement to develop players in China. The talks were rocky at first but went quickly once Cashman backed away from insisting the Chinese had to take A-Rod and Pavano.

NEW YORK YANKEES AND CHINESE BASEBALL ASSOCIATION REACH LANDMARK AGREEMENT
The New York Yankees and the Chinese Baseball Association held a press conference today in Beijing, China to announce a landmark Memorandum of Understanding that for the first time formalizes a strategic alliance between a Major League Baseball Club and the Chinese Baseball Association.
The Agreement, subject to Major League Baseball’s rules, regulations and agreements pertaining to The People’s Republic of China, states that the Yankees will provide the CBA with guidance in training baseball players, which will include sending staff (coaches, player development, scouting and training personnel) to China to assist the CBA. The partnership will also allow the CBA to send staff to the Yankees’ facilities in the United States in furtherance of those goals.
The Yankees were represented by Team President Randy Levine, Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Cashman, Vice President and Assistant General Manager Jean Afterman, and Michael Tusiani, Vice President of Corporate Sales and Sponsorship. Beijing Womei Advertising Company Limited and Sportscorp China, headed by President and Managing Director Marc Ganis and Managing Director Kenneth Huang, coordinated the meetings and has been instrumental with the Yankees’ activities in China.
“The entire New York Yankees organization looks forward to a wonderful relationship with the Chinese Baseball Association,” said New York Yankees’ Principal Owner George Steinbrenner. “I stand firmly behind this agreement, and we will lend our full support to this partnership to ensure a successful and fruitful future together.”
“This agreement marks another milestone in baseball’s international evolution,” said Yankees President Randy Levine. “We are excited to begin work alongside our friends in the Chinese Baseball Association and they will receive our full support throughout this exciting process. The Yankees brand is recognized around the world, and this unprecedented opportunity allows us to further integrate the Yankees’ name and our proud history of success into baseball’s global landscape.”
“It is a great honor to be a part of this unique and exciting opportunity,” said New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman. “Throughout China’s history it’s easy to see their passion for sports, and their determination to excel in all athletic fields. With that belief in excellence, we are proud to begin work with the Chinese Baseball Association, and we will provide all of our available tools and resources to help develop and cultivate their baseball program from the ground up.”
The CBA was represented by Chairman Hu Jianguo, Secretary General Shen Wei, and Deputy Secretary General Tian Yuan.
“This is an historic day for the Chinese Baseball Association and the sport of baseball in China” said CBA Chairman Hu Jianguo. “Baseball is a fast-growing sport in China and throughout Asia. By partnering with the New York Yankees, most successful and recognizable baseball team in the world, the CBA looks forward to expanding the play of this wonderful game throughout China and developing many excellent players. We also look forward to developing world class training and practice facilities where our Chinese players can be well prepared to compete against the best in the world.”
Following the press conference, the Yankees contingent is scheduled to meet with Mr. Feng Jian Zhong, the Vice Minister State General Administration of Sports. Mr. Feng is also the Vice President of the China Olympic Committee.





This just in: Red Sox organization announced that they have shipped 6 baseball coaches and a hampster (via FedEx overnight) to China to develop a little league ballpark and player development program for children ages 2-5. They hope to catch players before they reach the Yankees’ development program.
Also, Theo Epstein announced that CBA Chairman Hu Jianguo misspelled the words ‘Red Sox’ when he announced “By partnering with the New York Yankees, most successful and recognizable baseball team in the world, the CBA looks forward to expanding the play of this wonderful game throughout China and developing many excellent players.”
They also wanted to say that every single MLB organization has already done what the Yankees are doing.
This is a great move all around by the Yanks. They are really getting the jump on everyone else, no matter what BS the Red Sox are flinging around. I wonder what coaches/training personnel will be sent to China? Any room for Bernie in that group? Will there be egg roll vendors at the Stadium this year?
Expanding on that egg roll idea, if they start selling Sesame Beef Combination Platters at the Stadium I’m going to have to set up some kind of exporting service with the Yankees.
I hope the Stadium gets some good Chinese food.
This also just in.
Upon hearing the news that the Yankees had ventured into China and started tapping a new market, Theo Epstein (also known as “Russ” in his inner circle) became furious and started throwing chairs through hotel rooms that he didnt even reserve.
He vowed to throw 101.111.111 dollars at the Chinese gov’t to better the Yankees and claims it wont affect the small market budget of the Red Sox or “LTP” because of the revenue streams that he will get back.
I travel to Beijing a fair bit on business and believe there is no one in China wearing a Julio Lugo jersey…Just as in the rest of the world, if people know one team, it is the Yankees….
It has got to kill the Red Sox that no matter what they do, they will always be lumped in as just another baseball team that plays against the Yankees
Upper deck, third base side has a chinese food cart. Eat at your own risk. You are better of with a carton of fried rice from one of the neighborhood take out spots.
Me dont’ care.
Nice to see the Yankees looking everywhere for new talent.
Just read this short article on ESPN about how the Yankees have turned around there minor league system. Thought it was interesting enough to share
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/.....id=2742549
I hope you know my post was a joke, Blaze. Calling me “Theo Epstein” is one of the largest insults I have ever received.
at least he didn’t call you Manny or Big Sloppi…
I think this is a good move for the Yanks. Its in line with all the other good moves that the Red Sox then follow after complaining that we’re an “evil empire”.
[...] The Yankees are going to help develop Chinese baseball players writes Peter Abraham. [...]
I wonder if they’ll get the YES network now, considering that China just dropped ESPN…
Unless I’m missing something, how will they watch baseball at all now?
Theo is really gonna miss that hampster.
i guess this was probably all agree upon in the package when we got jack bauer back?
Damn you, TurnTwo! I was just about to make a Bauer-related comment.
Hey Pete-
Think you should start a new thread in honor of The Police reuniting! There 1 and only gig so far is opening the Grammy Awards.
Hopefully they tour, if they do I guess i’ll have to start preparing the papers for the 2nd mortgage on my house.
With the announcement came the word that George M. Steinbrenner III had changed his title to “Chairman” at an appearance in Tian An Men Square, where he began handing out his “Little Red Book” to guide the Yankee staff.
Steinbrenner, promising to crush the bourgeois National Leagueists led by Chiang Kai-Shek and the St. Louis Cardinals, vowed to launch a “Great Leap Forward” at Yankee Stadium this year, which will be followed by a “Cultural Revolution,” where traitors, backsliders, revanchists, deviationists, and Carl Pavano will face justice at the hands of “People’s Revolutionary Tribunals.” Quoting Chinese Premier Teng Hsaio-Ping, Steinbrenner said, “It is glorious to get rich!”
Former Chinese Emperor Henry P’u-Yi declined to comment, since he has been dead since 1967.
is this a ‘lost in translation’ moment?
what the HECK is a hampster? don’t you guys spell it ‘hamster’ too?
The sad reality is, good Chinese food doesn’t always mean real Chinese food, which why it’s hard to find any kind of orange chicken in China becasue Chinese don’t eat orange chicken.
And God only knows what General Tso’s chicken REALLY is in China!
I’m not entirely sure what a “hampster” is, but hamsters are furry little animals that make good pets. Someone explain to me where this exotic new species of mammal known as “hampster” came from?
Hampsters are the well-to-do rodents who summer in the Hamptons.
This would be a long term investment though, China ‘s baseball development is still a pretty significant step behind the trio of Japan/Korea/Taiwan, their national team gets crushed in just about every baseball tournement in recent years, even when those 3 country send their amature teams.
To put things in perspective, Taiwan’s CPBL is for the most part the weakest of the 3 leagues in east asia, and Taiwan still have half a dozen major leaguer/close to major leaguer and another half dozen guys who are in Japan, but China only have about 2 to 3 guys that might make it in the CPBL, they are at least a whole generation away from anything close to MLB .

Sounds like a Red Sux fan crying again, even after his team spent $104M for a Japanese import who has yet to throw a pitch in the majors….. and after your wuss of an owner made sure to cry about it and pretend “we’re doing the same thing, it’s not just the Yankees, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME”
Mommy not give you sissies enough attention up in beantown??
or perhaps a fan of the little sisters of the Red Sux, a mighty mighty mets fan?
