GimmeShelter Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 He'll take it but making them not only up last weeks offer and still wait for his answer is priceless after the way he was treated last spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 There is a reason why Mariano Rivera has not accepted the Yankees' offer of a three-year, $45-million contract. Rivera, according to major-league sources, wants a fourth guaranteed year. The Yankees remain the overwhelming favorite to retain Rivera. No other club is expected to even approach their proposal, much less top it. But 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' offer, a source says. Rivera has specifically mentioned following Joe Torre to the Dodgers, and his agents also are contacting other clubs about his availability. Rivera, sources say, believes he deserves the same length of contract as Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who is on the verge of re-signing for $52.4 million over four years, and Mets closer Billy Wagner, who received $43 million over four years after the 2005 season. Posada and Wagner are both 36, nearly two years younger than Rivera — and Wagner was 34 when he signed with the Mets as a free agent. Rivera also is certain to note that third baseman Alex Rodriguez would be 42 at the end of his proposed 10-year contract with the Yankees — the same age that Rivera would be at the conclusion of a four-year deal. Rivera's ERA rose to 3.15 last season after four straight years below 2.00, but he went 30-for-34 in save opportunities, regained his dominance in September and worked 4 2/3 scoreless innings against the Indians in the postseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 There is a huge difference between a 42 year old pitcher and a 42 year old catcher or 3b. The catcher and 3b players can always be moved to DH. A pitcher at 42 is usually beyond done and has no alternative. Here's a bold move for the Yanks-let Rivera go! We've squeezed every bit out of him, his future is going to be nothing but drastic decline. why be stuck with 15 mil a year for 3 or 4 years for a guy that is a shell of his former self?

NIGHT STALKER Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I say give him the money...whatever he wants. I know there will be fans that disagree, but seriously people, where would the Yanks be (championships) without him? Is he the same pitcher he was a few years ago...no. But, sometimes you just have to eat it. Hell, if the Yanks can throw out millions to likes of Kevin Brown, Carl Pavano and that third world pitcher, Kei Igawa, just give Mo the money and say thanks.
