Yankees Decline Marte's Option
The Yankees announced today that they have declined Damaso Marte's '09 option. Yesterday we learned that the Yankees were seeking to sign Marte to an extension. Marte is a Type A free agent, so figure on at least an offer of arbitration.
The option was for $6MM and was bought out for $250K.

when healthy, Yankees bullpen is one of the best in the league. If they resign Marte it will keep it strong and young. I still believe Phil Coke should be in the starting rotation.

Coke great in bullpen and Marte made Ortiz look silly a must sign. Yanks would have best lefty relief in majors and who knows what Mitre might give

Bst bullpen I dont think so. Offer him arb and hope he declines. This gives room to bring up Melacon.
