A good investment |
| Francisco Rodriguez is only 26 years old and he already has 132 career saves with a lifetime 2.37 ERA. Now he is saying that he expects to become a free agent after 2008. Yes it's a bit premature to start speculating, but the Yanks will be dumping some big contracts after this coming season (Giambi and Moose) and will have some money to spare. How sweet would it be to have Joba and F-Rod fighting as a set-up man and closer (pick which is which)? Labels: Pitching, Salaries, The future |

Cano deal likely finalized tomorrow |
| Robinson Cano and the Yankees are on the verge of finalizing the 4-year/$30 million contract that they agreed to a few weeks ago. This will maintain one of the best middle infields in the game and allow the Yanks to focus on their biggest weakness - pitching. Labels: Cano, Salaries |

Yanks, A-Rod cashing in on his inevitable march towards all-time records |
| The Yanks and A-Rod agreed to a marketing package based on his moving up the all-time career home run list. For now, he will receive $6 million each milestone for tying Willie Mays (660), babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762) and another $6 million for moving ahead of Bonds. Due to legal agreements between MLB and the players union, he will have to make additional personal appearances and sign memorabilia for the club in order to actually earn each incentive on paper. This will be money well spent, and barring a major, multi-season injury, he will be on the top of the list when everything is said and done. In fact, not only will h break 762, but he will easily break 800 and has a shot at 900. He is 32 years old and currently has 518 career homers. Granted, for him to reach 900 he will have to average about 38 home runs for the next 10 years. However, first consider the fact that in the last 10 years, he only hit less than 40 homers in 2 seasons. Second, at 32 he is currently in his prime and may very well his 50+ for the next 4 or 5 seasons, putting him well above the 40-per-year pace he will need to maintain. Finally, if he reaches the end of his current contract when he is 42 and he has a career total which is close to 900, such as 880 or more, it would behove both the Yanks and A-Rod for him to play another year or two, just to set the mark over 900.

A-Rod talks still looking good, and maybe Mike owell too |
| ESPN.com is now reporting that A-Rod and the Yanks are getting ever closer to 10-years/$270 million agreement. That may lead some to believe that the Yanks would surely back off their recent aggressive pursuit of Boston's WS MVP, Mike Lowell, since he also plays 3rd base. However, there are reports that the Yanks are still in discussions with Lowell's agents and they are talking about bringing him to the Bronx to play 1st base. Finally, Matsui came out of knee surgery yesterday with no complications or problems and is expected to begin rehab soon and remain on schedule to be ready for the beginning of the 2008 season. For those of you who are paying attention, there is an extra player in there. Abreu's option was picked up so he could play right. Melky will be playing center with Damon backing him up. Damon will also be putting a lot of time in at left field, with Matsui also putting time in left and as DH. If Lowell does get signed to play first, that leaves Jason Giambi to play the occasional first base and be a part-time DH. $21 million is a lot for an occasional first baseman and a part-time DH. Barring a major injury or some unforeseen circumstances, I don't see the Yankees keeping Giambi on past 2008, regardless of Mike Lowell's whereabouts.

The interesting journey of rebuilding... |
The latest reports have Jorge Posada on the verge of accepting the record setting offer of $52.4 million for 4 years extended to him by the Yanks. This would make him the highest paid catcher in the history of baseball, deservedly so. The Yanks have also extended an offer of 3-years/$45 million to Rivera, which if he accepts, would make him the highest closer in the history of baseball. Again, I believe this is very much deserved. It's hard to make a case against either one of them getting that kind of salary. I am completely supportive of the relatively new Cashman strategy of not going out and buying overpaid and untested free-agents, however both of these two have more then earned their pinstripes and have proven they deserve all the money they can get. Posada will likely one day have his number retired in monument park, and Rivera will enjoy the same and is a guaranteed first-vote hall-of-famer. At this moment, Rivera is hesitating and we can only hope it is just a matter of time.
Apparently, the Yanks are also having "serious discussions" with Mike Lowell. Lowell may not be a bad solution for 3rd base. He has already proven that he can hit American League pitching, and furthermore he can do so in the clutch (i.e. 2007 World Series MVP). But, this may complicate things. I have to believe that if Lowell signs with the Yanks, Boston will have to make a strong push for A-Rod. Remember, this is the same A-Rod who was willing to restructure his salary (i.e. take a pay cut) to play in Boston just 4 years ago. This was before Boston had won 2 World Series Championships, so it is probably safe to say that his willingness to play in Boston could not have tapered off. Say what you want about A-Rod not being as much of a team player as he should, you just can't argue with 156 RBIs. And by the way, if you still aren't convinced, take a moment to reflect on a Boston lineup that has the names Manny, Big Papi and A-Rod in back-to-back-to-back positions. That's not even funny. However, the story doesn't end there. Yesterday, Hank Steinbrenner hinted that there may be some discussions between the Yankees and Scott Boras regarding A-Rod. Keep in mind that this may just be a strategy to keep his market price up, which will force any team who wants him (especially Boston) to pay absolute top dollar for him. The existence alone of such rumors is a benefit to both A-Rod and the Yankees whether he returns or not.Labels: A-Rod, Cashman, Posada, Rivera, Salaries |

Cashman will only keep Alex on current contract |
| Brian Cashman has stated that the Yankees' will not renegotiate a new contract with A-Rod if he opts out of his current contract, which he is entitled to do if he chooses after the end of this season. This makes sense as, based on the initial trade for Alex which sent Alfonso Soriano to the Rangers, Texas would pay part of the remainder of A-Rod's salary for the duration of the contract. After the 2007 season, Alex will have $81 million owed to him over the final three years of his contract and Texas is obligated to about $30 million of this. If A-Rod were to opt out and the Yankees were to resign him to a new contract, Texas would immediately be relieved of the $30 million obligation and the Yankees would have to pick that up. One alternative, which is probably the most likely, is that the Yanks and A-Rod extend his contract, keeping the current one in place and extending the number of years and salary. The Yankees will probably insist that he surrenders his right to opt out and he will likely get paid even more than his current average of $25 million per year. It's will most definitely be worth it. There are still questions about how he will perform in the post-season but he has done much this year to alleviate fear about any lack of performance in New York during the regular season. If he retired today he would likely make his way to the Hall of Fame, never mind the numbers he will put up in the next 8 to 10 years. Statistically he will likely be the top player of all time. He has the capability to lead the Yanks to several more world championships. It's a no-brainer. Labels: A-Rod, Cashman, Contract negotiations, Salaries |
