Top stories from last week:
- The Yankees signed a pair of players to minor league contracts: righty John Van Benschoten and infielder Myron Leslie.
- There are some rumblings that Derek Jeter could ask the Yankees for six years when his contract expires after the season, and some think the team should give him an ownership stake in the club.
- Alex Rodriguez will cooperate with federal authorities who are conducting an investigation into Dr. Anthony Galea.
- Nick Johnson was bothered by a stiff lower back after catching a cleat, though he was able to take batting practice and is set to play Monday. He would have been tough to replace if the injury were more serious.
