I primarily listen to CDs but I do listen to WFAN if anything is up with local sports.

Yankees Get Canseco From Tampa Bay NEW YORK, Aug 07, 2000 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- The New York Yankees acquired Jose Canseco on Monday, claiming him off waivers from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and adding another strong bat to their lineup. The 36-year-old slugger is hitting .257 with nine homers and 30 RBIs in 61 games this season. He missed 46 games with a strained left heel. Canseco has 440 homers - more than any player acquired by the Yankees - and is 24th on the career home run list. A favorite of owner George Steinbrenner, he will be used mostly as a designated hitter. The Yankees will be responsible for the remainder of Canseco's $3 million contract this season, which will be about $1 million. He is eligible for free agency after this season.
