lol A-Rod is such a dick. Not only that he is making his agent look like a huge idiot

He will still be the best player on the Yankees by far but won't be a "true Yankee" for some reason.

Kind of ridiculous that Mariano hasn't agreed to that $45 million/3 year deal. Apparently he is still holding out for a guaranteed fourth year. Its insane to me that he's even taking this long to agree to that deal; I can't see any other team even coming close.

No one is going to give him that kind of money. He's Mariano Rivera, but he's going to be 38. That's starting pitcher type money.

I'm gunning for something next year, no doubt. It's either going to be the AS game, Yanks/Boston in the summer, or a postseason game (if they make it).

I'm not even a Yankees fan but I'm gonna try to go to a game. I've only been there once, I wanna go to one more game before it comes down.

Anyway, saw an interesting trade proposal by someone who runs a Twins blog. Now obviously it has no merit, but it'd still be interesting.

Mets get: Johan Santana
Twins get: Lastings Milledge, Mike Pelfrey, Carlos Gomez, and Fernando Martinez

At first it seems like the Mets are giving up an assload, particularly their big 3 OF prospects...but really its not that bad and probably could be negotiable outside of Milledge. Martinez probably won't even appear in a big league game until like 2009 and even that would be as a September call-up so its impossible to predict his future.

Went to two Yankees/Sox games this year. You can get pretty good deals on Stubhub. I went to the one where Wang had a no hitter through 7 and Joba threw at Youkills' head twice. It was amazing.

Hopefully he does go back to Boston. No need at all for him to play first when there is Betemit/Giambi/Duncan/Phillips already over there. A Betemit/Duncan platoon could work out pretty well.

I think they should resign Mientkiewicz and platoon him with Giambi. Have Matsui DH, and Damon in left. Betemit can back up the other 3 infield positions.

Ideally, I'd have a Slam Duncan/Doug platoon but Giambi once again fucks everything up.

Andy Phillips is never going to work out, I've decided.

Jake Peavy was the unanimous selection as the NL Cy Young Award winner on Thursday, netting all 32 first-place votes.

Brandon Webb was listed second on every ballot except for one. Someone picked Aaron Harang over him even though Webb had the better ERA by a large margin (3.01 to 3.73) and threw a few more innings. Brad Penny received 14 third-place votes to finish third ahead of Harang (10 points), Carlos Zambrano (3), John Smoltz (2), Cole Hamels (2), Jose Valverde (2) and Jeff Francis (1).
Obvious choice

Quote:
Yorvit Torrealba's agent told ESPN Radio that the catcher will sign a three-year contract with the Mets.

With Ramon Castro also set to choose the Mets, the Marlins and Rockies appear set to pick from Paul Lo Duca, Michael Barrett, Jason Kendall and Rod Barajas as they seek their next catcher. Torrealba's deal is likely worth $5 million per year or slightly less. He doesn't require draft-pick compensation from the Mets, though the Rockies will get a supplemental first-rounder for losing him.
Torrealba is not worth 5 million a year. He's an okay defender but he can't hit for shit.

Quote:
Free agent Mariano Rivera wants a fourth guaranteed season from the Yankees.

A source told FOXSports.com that Rivera, who turns 38 on Nov. 29, has instructed his agents to shop him, in part because he was angered by Hank Steinbrenner referring to his age in recent comments about the Yankees' three-year, $45 million offer. The team's current proposal would make Rivera the game's highest-paid reliever by a wide margin. It doesn't appear likely that any other team will try to top it.
Come on Mo, just sign already.

I dunno. I prefer a Betemit/Duncan platoon with Giambi in there every now and then. Betemit is a solid left handed hitter but terrible right handed. You'd think that would work out decently. Maybe if Giambi wasn't here I'd want Doug back, but as it is I don't really want him. Giambi is pretty much a pinch hitter at this point; he looked pathetic last year. Couldn't get around on a fastball and couldn't even take walks like he usually does.

And yeah, Phillips has had a decent amount of chances and has had some personal stuff to deal with too these past two years but he'll never be a consistent first baseman for the Yankees. He just doesn't have enough pop in his bat.

The only reason I say sign Mientkiewicz to platoon with Giambi is because Cashman said he plans on using Giambi at first this year.

The Torrealba deal would piss me off more if not for the fact that its been said that the Mets intend on giving Ramon Castro more playing time.

Basically it looks like A Rod decided that he wasnt going to let Boras leave him stranded looking for 300 Million with no takers. He got a raise, an extension, and the Yanks got their guy back. I think both sides saved a little face by just giving up playing Tough Guy

Wow, no way the Red Sox will be matching that if it's true

I figured with A-Rod signing though it'd come down to the Phillies or the Red Sox for Lowell

-edit, talking about the Lowell deal Dragon just posted.

Alex Rodriguez is expected to be guaranteed $275 million under terms of his 10-year deal with the Yankees.

Among the incentives that could push the deal over $300 million will be bonuses for passing Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds on the all-time home run list. A-Rod is currently at 518 homers, leaving him 244 behind Bonds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~<3 !!!!

Bonds could serve up to 30 years if indicted. That's wild.

Reasons why the Yankees signing A-Rod is awesome:

They spend $275,000,000 dollars
He sucks at playing in the playoffs
The Mets aren't getting him

Rumor has it the Mets might shift their focus to David Eckstein if Castillo's demands are too high (I read he's looking for a 4-year deal which is insane).

I'd love Eckstein. The guy's a scrappy player and plays with heart. He'd be a great fit for the team, batting 2nd and playing 2nd.

I love the rumor that this was part of the a-rod/boros plan that if the NYY walked away for A-Rod to go back w/o Boros.

Quote:
According to the New York Daily News, the Yankees and Jose Molina have agreed to a two-year contract worth $4 million.
Nice.

Quote:
WBZ-TV's Dan Roche believes that the Yankees' offer to Mike Lowell is a four-year deal worth between $50 million and $55 million, not $56 million-$60 million as previously reported.
I don't get why we want Lowell so bad. I think we just want to fuck with the Red Sox by signing him. He's a really good third baseman, which is his strength, yet we'll be moving him to first base where we already have 700 options. His numbers are going to take a huge hit at Yankee Stadium.

I guess he's better than what we have at 1st base right now but 4 years? God. We need a stopgap for now because Posada is eventually going to have to move to first or DH, also, Matsui should be DHing too.

We must have something huge planned. If Lowell gets signed, I think Damon is going to get traded. For who, I have no idea. Maybe some relief pitching or we'll just deal him for some prospects. Probably prospects. I could see some sort of 3 team deal where we trade Damon for prospects, then send those prospects and Melky Cabrera to the Twins for Santana, then we'll sign a new CF.

Offering Lowell that contract is beyond ridiculous. Thats a pretty huge amount of money to pay just to screw with the Sox. It will hurt them but that contract will hurt us more later on. I seriously believe a platoon or whatever we have going on at 1st could come close to Lowell's production if he played most his games at Yankee Stadium.

I've been hearing a lot of things about Hughes, Cano AND Cabrera for Santana. I will kill Cashman if he gives up that much. If its really gonna take that much to get him then I would just assume stick with the young guys and see what we have. Pettitte must come back no matter what and then the rotation wouldn't be terrible. Nothing like with Santana but still probably better than last year.

As for Molina. Not a huge signing name-wise or whatever but he was great for us last year. He seems to fit in really well with this team and handles the young guys well. Definitely nice to not have to worry too much when Posada needs a day off.

I really can't see the Yankees offering Lowell that much to play first, for the things already mentioned about in this thread. If they have Lowell at first for four years where the hell are they gonna put Posada when he breaks down?

Plus I dunno if it would really fuck with the Red Sox THAT bad, I'm sure they could trade Coco Crisp and like an average prospect for a 3B like Hank Blalock or something. I bet he'd hit pretty well in Fenway

Yeah, it will hurt some if the Sox want to start trading kids for a Cabrera type but I don't see that. It will hurt the Yankees a lot more than it will the Sox if Lowell ends up coming here for 4 years. Lowell is most valuable to the Red Sox by far and they're only offering 3 years; that should say something about offering him 4 years to play away from Fenway. If Cashman is doing this hoping to get the last laugh on Boston by taking him away from them he is sorely mistaken. I really do hope Lowell loves Boston enough to go back with a lesser deal lol.

I dunno if they'd start going after Cabrera though, maybe but the rumor I heard was the one I posted in my above reply, which wouldn't be bad at all. I'm still curious if the Yankees deal is even true though, I mean its a pretty ridiculous offer.

Yeah, I kind of doubt it too considering it'd cost at least one or two of Buchholz, Lester, Ellsbury. Definitely don't see the Red Sox dealing any of those guys.
