There isnt a better closer out there

$15 mil is a lot for Mo, but he has been underpaid

Plus its the Yankees we are talking about, they can afford to overpay someone.

It's reported that the Yankees have offered Rivera $45 million for 3 years.



ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!?!

15 mil for an aging relief pitcher?!

They're desperate.

I are beast.

Astros might sign Geoff Blum :mellow:

This would be the worst signing, I will never be able to forgive him about the 2005 WS homerun that won them the Championship

A-Rod might be a Yankee after all....


Quote:
 
The New York Yankees began direct contract dialogue with third baseman Alex Rodriguez on Wednesday.


In a statement released by Rodriguez he said he and his wife Cynthia have spoken directly with Hank and Hal Steinbrenner.

It is absolutely clear, however, that the negotiations -- which never really got started last month -- are now on-going, and agent Scott Boras is not part of the dialogue.

"Alex reached out to the Yankees, and he made it clear he wants to be a Yankee," said one source. "He understands what has to be done."

Rodriguez released the following statement on his Web site.

"After spending time with Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization.

"Prior to entering into serious negotiations with other clubs, I wanted the opportunity to share my thoughts directly with Yankees' ownership. We know there are other opportunities for us, but Cynthia and I have a foundation with the club that has brought us comfort, stability and happiness.

So if A-Rod wants to come back to NY then how can the Yankees refuse? If A-Rod didnt want to come back that would be a different story.

" After Alex Rodriguez initaited contract discussions with the Yankees, Wensday sources confirmed that they may be close to re-signing the slugger for as much as $290million. "'

Long Live Pink Shoes!

If the deal happens we can have a thread dedicated to the reaction, but as of now it's fine just being in the offseason thread.
