Yankees Ink Kevin Youkilis to One-Year Deal

It wasn't long after news of Alex Rodriguez's hip surgery made headlines that the baseball world began to speculate about Kevin Youkilis joining the New York Yankees.

Well, speculate no longer.

According to FoxSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal...the third baseman will be joining the Bronx Bombers having just inked a one-year, $12-million deal.

The 33-year-old split time last season with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox, hitting .235 with 19 home runs and 60 RBI.

Naturally, the world is waiting to see what Scott Youkilis has to say.  You'll recall that when the deal went down sending his brother to Chicago..."Chef Youk" had a little bit of a social media meltdown.

Youk's Brother Rips Boston

With a standing ovation and a tip of the cap, fan favorite Kevin Youkilis exited the field Sunday for the last time as a member of the Boston Red Sox.

According to numerous reports, the third baseman has been dealt to the Chicago White Sox.  In return for the career .286 hitter, Boston will add righty Zach Stewart and utility player Brent Lillibridge.

And while trading Youkilis had been talked about for a while, all signs seemed to be pointing toward the 33-year-old ending up in Chicago courtesy of his brother Scott hitting the Twitters Sunday afternoon and lashing out at BeanTown.

Yipes.

Kevin Youkilis Joins "The Brady Bundch(en)"

You hear stories all the time about the measures baseball players go to in order to break a slump...but marriage?

Maybe.

This past Thursday, Boston Red Sox star Kevin Youkilis married his fiancee Julie "sister of Tom Brady" Brady at their home.

Now, I'm sure the wedding has nothing to do with Youkilis' recent struggles at the plate and has more to do with the Red Sox having an off day...but it sure is fun to speculate, right?

The "Greek God of Walks" is hitting .174 so far this season and last week, was in the crosshairs of skipper Bobby Valentine.  But, at least now we know why dude was, according to Valentine, not "physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past for some reason".

He was planning a wedding, man.  C'mon!

Oh, and because everyone will mention it...yes, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were on hand to toast the new bride and groom.

Youk's new manager in BeanTown was absent.

Help Bring Back the Youk Manchu!

During this past weekend's "Saturday Night Live", comedian/host Zach Galifianakis did the mustache community proud by shaving his trademark bushy hobo beard down to a very handsome cookie duster.

Similarly, during last spring's World Baseball Classic, Kevin Youkilis abandoned his goatee and toyed around with a fu manchu that would make the likes of Luis Tiant and Hulk Hogan blush.

Unfortunately, the werewolf gene present in both "The Hangover" star and the Red Sox first baseman keeps them from donning just the lip sweater.

This is where you come in.

The Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids charity has an interesting proposal over at their website.
