The Mahay Market
UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 5:25pm: The Braves will at least have a discussion with Mahay as a courtesy. They won't sign him unless his price comes down. MLB.com's Mark Bowman says the Yankees are the frontrunner, in contrast to Sherman's note below.
UPDATE, 12-5-07 at 9:45am: Joel Sherman says the Yankees don't like the price for Mahay and are considering alternatives such as Damaso Marte or John Grabow.
FROM 12-5-07 at 7:55am:
According to Marc Lancaster, the Rays are "firmly in the mix" for popular 36 year-old lefty reliever Ron Mahay. Four other teams are involved - the Yankees, Royals, Giants, and Astros.
I still haven't heard San Francisco's rationale to entertaining a three-year, $12MM pact for a 36 year-old reliever. The Royals being in the mix is a tad perplexing as well.

I think Marte would be a nice fit in New York. And it won't cost all that much to get him.

My, my, Mahay. Rock and roll is here to stay.

Are there any free agent pitchers that the Astros aren't interested in?? Considering they just offered arbitration to Trevor Miller I don't see them spending big money on Mahay.

The Braves should try to resign him. Seems like they always try to scimp on the bullpen and make do..the guy did fantastic job for us, and while they don't have to go hog wild, at least engage in some discussions with him and his agent about returning. Word has it that ONLY TODAY did Frank Wren acknowledge to Mahay's agent they would like to talk..better late than never!! What a great way, waiting 2 months after the season to let a guy know you appreciated his services and would like to have him back if it would work for both parties. Unfortunately, gone are the days of trying to retain or acquire top players..let me check that..got Texiera, but a year from now he walks too..and all that talent sent to the Rangers, and nothing to show for it
