HOUSTON -- Convinced Yankees fans are ready to embrace a new generation of Baby Bombers, owner Hal Steinbrenner watched Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge hit home runs in their first major league at-bats last weekendI was emotional. It doesnt happen often, he said Wednesday. Im very excited about this.Progress shown by catcher Gary Sanchez, Judge and Austin persuaded Steinbrenner to approve the trade of Carlos Beltran to Texas and the decision to release Alex Rodriguez, who was owed $27 million more by the Yankees through 2017. Steinbrenner also green-lighted the trades of relievers Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller.Those moves were strenuous, given he is a son of George Steinbrenner, the most aggressive pursuer of stars after the free agent era began in 1976.Its kind of been my DNA, right, to absolutely not trade anybody at the trade deadline. If anything were normally buyers, right? Steinbrenner said Wednesday at baseballs quarterly owners meeting. So I had to overcome a little bit of DNA issues I think in that regard.But, he says, revenue sharing and the luxury tax have changed baseballs economic landscape, meaning the Yankees cant outspend other teams to fill every need with free agents.Its a different world than it was 15, 20, maybe even 10 years ago, he said. Theres a lot of teams out there that now have the wherewithal to spend money on the free agents. ... Theres a lot of competition, where my dad, there was less.The Yankees are a changin, dropping the age of their roster as they retool in the post-Derek Jeter-Mariano Rivera era, trying to win their first title since 2009. New York started eight players 26 or under Sunday, the first time that happened in 49 years. Steinbrenner said watching fan reaction on social media and seeing how many sponsors wanted to meet young first baseman Greg Bird during spring training were a sign the teams fan base was ready for a rebuild.He praised 32-year-old Brian McCann, who has two years remaining on his contract but has lost playing time to Sanchez in the last two weeks.It was always the case that Sanchez at some point was going to come up and hopefully come up to stay, Steinbrenner said. So well cross that bridge in the offseason when we come to it, but McCanns a great player, too.Despite the pivot, dont expect the Yankees to go totally young, not with the need to sell tickets and attract television viewers for their YES Network.Im not naive. This is New York City. Our fans want marquee players, too, and I wanted marquee players because theyre good veterans and theyre good mentors, in many cases, so thats always going to be there, Steinbrenner said.Outfielder Clint Frazier, shortstop Gleyber Torres and left-hander Justus Sheffield were acquired in recent trades and joined a minor league system that already included touted infielder Jorge Mateo and outfielder Blake Rutherford.Steinbrenner expects the trio brought up this month to be joined next year by Bird, the first baseman who missed this season following shoulder surgery; pitcher Luis Severino, who struggled this year and has been sent to the minor leagues three times; and pitcher Bryan Mitchell, who has been sidelined with a toe injury since spring training.One or two of these guys may have to go back down. Who knows? Its not an uncommon tale, right? Steinbrenner said. But sooner or later we expect them all to be here for good.Despite shedding veterans, the Yankees (61-59) remain on the periphery of contention for a playoff berth.Theres no white flag here for me. There was no surrender, Steinbrenner said. If you had seen me get rid of (Michael) Pineda and (Nathan) Eovaldi and (Brett) Gardner, then you could probably make a case.He praised general manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi.Joe can do nothing about the lack of run production. Thats been the problem this year -- its the inconsistency and the underperforming with the offense, 80 percent of it as far as Im concerned, particularly in the middle of the lineup.Rodriguezs deal to become a senior adviser through 2017 allows him to create a schedule that doesnt interfere with family time and will allow A-Rod to broadcast. Steinbrenner admitted there was tension created by the decision to bench A-Rod.The last week was unfortunate at times, he said, but we all got through it.Rodriguez said he wont play for another team this season. Steinbrenner said if Rodriguez decides to play for another team next year, he would be welcome to return to the Yankees as an adviser after that.Its intended to be a very flexible situation, he said.

Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point.

Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status. The square leg Between Canberra and Melbourne there appeared to have been plenty of thinking done by New Zealands captain Kane Williamson, particularly in terms of finding fresh ways to dismiss Australias top order. One plan called for the placement of a shortish square leg in Henry Nicholls, with Trent Boult bowling a tight line designed to tuck up the batsmen. The gambit was tried first against Aaron Finch with rapid success, but the piece de resistance was the entrapment of Steven Smith for a duck. Boult waited a few balls before going around the wicket to cramp Smith for room, and Australias captain proceeded to flick to Nicholls in a way that suggested he had been taken out of his comfort zone. Other teams may well take note.The almost classic Having clasped those two chances, Nicholls was pushed out to the leg side boundary as David Warner got going. The extra pace of Lockie Ferguson had discomforted Warner in Sydney, and the second-gamer did so again in Melbourne in coaxing a skied pull shot. Nicholls made excellent ground to get to the ball and for a moment seemed to have claimed a terrific catch, but it spilled out as he completed his dive. Seasoned New Zealand observers remarked how the catch, had it been completed, would have been very similar to one claimed by Martin Snedden - but not accepted by the umpires - off Greg Chappell in the infamouus under-arm match on this ground in 1981.ddddddddddddThe reverse Early in New Zealands innings, Matthew Wade could be seen encouraging the use of bounce throws to get the ball making contact with the more abrasive parts of the MCG wicket square. As captain of Victoria, Wade has marshalled the Bushrangers pacers to make the most of reverse-swing on this ground many times in the past, and he angled for it again this night. The reward came midway through the evening when Mitchell Starc sent a screeching, reversing yorker through the defences of Henry Nicholls. Instantly, Starc gestured gratefully towards Wade, having gained the sort of swerve made possible through the earlier groundwork.The golden arm Travis Head has grown in stature as a batsman during this series, involved in key partnerships in each match. But he is also adding increasing levels of value with the ball, thus taking up both the roles previously played by Glenn Maxwell in this team. Smith threw the ball to him with New Zealands dangerous Martin Guptill still at the crease, and from around the wicket he tempted the opener to shell a catch to cover first ball. George Bailey held on to a difficult chance, and Head made a beeline for Smith to celebrate the wicket.
