Yeah, Lee is definitely going to the Yankees. People will make excuses ala Sabathia as to why he won't go there, but the money will talk.

I think it means they have an option the teams can pick up. The Braves are almost certain to pick up A-Gon's, just because its cheap.

In an odd contractual clause, the Mets only have until Friday to re-sign Hisanori Takahashi or else they wouldn't be allowed to re-sign him until May 15th.

I want him back but I just can't see Alderson giving him the 2 years he is seeking. Hoping he'll settle for 1 with a vesting option.

A day after the World Series, the one of many "all hell breaks loose" news days. Let's get right down to it.

Yorvit Torrealba declines his end of the option for the Padres. Which leads us to.....

Padres picking up Adrian Gonzalez's $6.2 mil. option for '11. As of right now, the sole person on the team.

Tigers decline Jhonny Peralta's option.

The Red Sox hire Curt Young as their new pitching coach.

Brewers hire Ron Roenicke as manager. I thought Bobby Valentine had it all locked up.
They also decline the options of Trevor Hoffman, Gregg Zaun, and Doug Davis.

White Sox excercise Scott Podsednik's option. But he has the option to take it, or become a free agent. White Sox also re-sign Omar Vizquel to a 1-year, $1.75 mil. deal. He's 44 in April.

Yankees outright Chad Gaudin and Royce Ring.

Mets hire J.P. Riccardi as a special assistant to Sandy Alderson.

D'Backs decline Adam LaRoche's option.

and finally....

Marlins hire Edwin Rodriguez as manager.

The most intriguing story, to me, is who will become the new Mets manager. I want to see if Joe Torre gets hired, or if Bobby Valentine gets another crack.

Going to The Mets would be a moronic move for Joe Torre. He would become exposed.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got the job though.

Also the Mets would have to pay Joe Torre some ridiclious amount of money. It would be a terrible move for The Mets to.

So it probably will happen.

Joe Torre shouldn't manage again. Bobby Valentine should get another crack at managing the Mets with Sandy Alderson as GM. The team needs a person who will come in and energize them, who will give 'em a kick in the pants when needed, and a person who can handle the New York spotlight.

I hope the Red Sox don't get Carl Crawford. He'd be a great addition, but I'd much rather see them add other players.
Either way they need to make some serious pick-ups and changes

I want 2 right handed bats and Davy Lopes to come back and or be resigned.

Don't understand why they can't pay Davy Lopes 250-300k to be 1st base Coach.

This is a fucking crime. How do you not pay this guy $300k when Sam Perlozzo makes that much being an awful 3rd base coach.

Anything more than 3 years is crazy. 2 would be ideal.

I imagine they'll offer something around 15M a year. If he honestly thinks that's a slap in the face (which would not surprise me) then it'll get messy. Hal already said the deal has to be good for both sides, so they aren't handing him a blank check.

There's not any other team out there offering Jeter 10M or more a year. Not with his age, defense and year he had offensively last year.

Giants bought out Renteria's contract for $500,000 instead of taking the $9.5 million option he would have received for next season. Renteria isn't upset since he was considering retiring anyways and the team gets to save $9 million for next year.
