Yankees make their move....Meanwhile, looking for a baseball fix Wednesday? How about trivia and a movie '61*' at the Yogi Berra Museum

?

First things first.

It looks like the Yankees -- slowly but surely -- will bring back the members of its 2012 starting rotation. Which is not a bad thing. The Yankee starters were not their downfall. It was the lack of clutch hitting and putting the ball out of play.

The Bombers re-signed Hiroki Kuroda on a one-year deal for $15 million and are closing in on Andy Pettitte, one year, $11 million.

Mariano Rivera will also be back in the fold and, probably Ichiro too.

Down the road, GM Brian Cashman will most likely re-up underrated Russell Martin and postseason hero Raul Ibanez.

The bottom line?

When the 2013 season begins, the Bombers will have lost Rafael Soriano and the postseason challenged Nick Swisher.

Soriano will be replaced by Mariano and the Yanks can find a bat to replace Swisher. How about Cody Ross or making a trade for Shin-Soo Choo.

To be continued......
