Latest Yankees Info

Peter Abraham was in on the Brian Cashman briefing; his blog posts can be found here and here.

  • Option decisions are due on Jason Giambi, Carl Pavano, and Damaso Marte by November 14th.  The only uncertainty is with Marte's $6MM option.  George King reported yesterday that the Yankees are unlikely to exercise it.  Abraham says Cashman indicated that Marte could be signed to a new contract if the option is declined.  I imagine it'd take multiple years to entice him.
  • There have been no conversations between the Yankees and Bobby Abreu's agents.  Abreu is looking for a three-year deal, so he'll probably be cashed in for draft picks.
  • Center field is not considered a priority; the Yanks like their in-house options.
  • Cashman wants to acquire two starters; right now he considers Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain his rotation.
  • Eric Milton and Victor Zambrano are free agents again.

i mean, im sure noones with me, but what about signing pavano for a year with an option for the back end of the rotation. if hes healty(haha), he could be a valuable commodity.

Abreu asking for three years is not unreasonable. I don't see why the Yankees would not make an attempt to sign him.

The only thing Pavano should be doing for the Yanks is cleaning bathrooms at the stadium. Good riddance!

The Mets should sign Zambrano. >:)

Not that it should mean anything, but it's possible Dempster's performance in the All-Star game could have caught the eye of Brian Cashman.

They should decline Martes option and offer him arbitration to get the picks if he declines. That way those picks could make up for the loss of CC signing or a Burnett signing.

"The Mets should sign Zambrano. >:)"

LOL. thank you. i havent laughed like that since i was a little girl.

"I like the idea of trying to resurrect Zambrano's career, just to torture the Mets."

Kinda like Benitez? Most of us Mets fans were laughing when the Yankees picked him up.

it was worth giving it a shot

at least we only pay a fraction of what the Mets pay.

Enjoy another year of 30+ blown saves ;)

Easy now. It would've only been 29 if Wagner had been healthy!

i think the mets are better off getting fuentes.

"...right now he considers Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain his rotation."

That's the right mentality.
