Yankees Rumors: A-Rod, Rivera, Pettitte, Excel

By Mike Axisa | November 7, 2012 at 1:43pm CDT

Earlier today we had some news on the Mets, now let's travel to the other side of town and check in on the Yankees…

  • The Yankees are more likely to pursue bargains this offseason than top free agents like Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke, reports Joel Sherman of The New York Post. The one nine-figure deal they are considering is an extension for Robinson Cano.
  • “I don’t see that happening," said GM Brian Cashman to Ken Davidoff of The New York Post when asked if he anticipates receiving trade inquires for Alex Rodriguez.
  • The Yankees are preparing a contract offer for Mariano Rivera, reports Bob Klapisch of The Bergen Record. The deal will call for a pay cut from this year's $15MM salary after Rivera missed almost the entire season with a knee injury.
  • "Will I be surprised if he comes back? No, I won't," said manager Joe Girardi to Newsday's Marc Carig when asked about Andy Pettitte coming back in 2013 (Twitter links). "Andy pitched well again. So, my sense is he's going to be pulled to come back. He'll have to make a decision."
  • Cashman met with Excel Management Group last night, reports David Lennon of Newsday (on Twitter). Excel represents free agents Greinke and Scott Hairston, as well as many others.

    If Hamiliton takes a “paycut” for the Yankees I will laugh my ass off.

    I still think you offer Hamilton 3yr/30m to play right field.

          there is no point in wasting time with that offer, you’d be lucky if you could get swisher to sign for that

          Haha, I just realized I meant 3yr/ 30m a year, and posted a 10 aav. I couldn’t figure out why you guys were busting my balls.

    Excel Sports Management also represents Andy Pettitte, as should be noted.

      Hamilton wouldn’t have any interest in a 3-year deal (making him a free agent again at the horribly undesirable age of 35), and the Yankees would be making their bad payroll worse with such a deal. They’re trying to make the best out of what have turned into severe overpayment contracts to Rodriguez and Teixeira — not to mention Rivera and Jeter, who are both more likely (MORE LIKELY) to decline than to sustain their recent levels of success.

        Yep, would result in a higher aav, but that is still $85M short of his requests. If he completely falls apart then how much money will he get? For a player like him he should take take a long deal, because coming off a 40+ hr year as a cf still makes him desirable, if he goes down to rf and 25 hr power in 3 years which is likely, and with a lower obp and higher k rate he won’t get nearly as much.

    All the Yankees need to do is sign an above average power hitter and put him at a needed position. It’s not that hard to hit 40HRs in a softball field like Yankee stadium

      Well, it’s only been done by 10 players, with 4 of those 10 only doing it once. Matter of fact, based on BallPark Factors this year, Yankee Stadium was not even the most friendly HR hitters park. It was actually ranked 8th.

          I meant by 10 Yankee players in history and this dates back to Ruth and Gehrig years.

          Here are the 10 Yankees who have hit 40 HR, as mentioned some more than once, others just once

          Ruth
          Maris (Once)
          Mantle
          A-Rod
          Gehrig
          Dimaggio (Once)
          Tino (Once)
          Granderson
          Giambi
          Reggie (Once)

    Just sign Ichiro for one year and then hopefully Williams and/or Austin will be ready the year after.

    the yankees signing middle of the road players, i do not believe it. they are just laying in the weeds watching the other teams,then they will swoop down and snag the top of the line players like they have always done. all of this stuff about staying under 180 million dollar payroll to avoid the luxury tax is all a bunch of balonie.the will continue to sign top of the line players.

      It makes some sense. Free agent class this year has a ton of scrubs. So many of the players have big question marks. This is not a year to be commiting big money to free agents.
