Yankees give rafael soriano 3yrs35mill

[brxbmbers42]

youve got to be fukkin kidding me. thats what they spend the lee money on. smells like fukkin steve karsay to me. dumb fukkin move

[Jordan23]

This does seem pretty stupid. I mean why? 35 million? Seriously?

[pavyracer]

He has great numbers the last two years. Yankees need someone to pitch the 8th since Joba choked.

[ProfaneReality]

12 mil for a set up guy

fukk the yankees

shut the fukk up.


where was the market for him to be paid 12 mill. who else was at the table willing to give him anything near that. thats what i want to know.

[ProfaneReality]

watch your tongue, sausage fingers

[Dirty Sanchez]

I'm really disappointed in what Cashman has done this offseason....he better have a few tricks up his sleeve because unless CC can pitch every 3 days it could be a long season for the Yanks. You can tell there's a little desperation when they start talking about pitchers like Bonderman and Duscherer.

[EaglesPhan36]

Bet they shuffle Joe Bob into the rotation now. That's where he belongs anyway. They can afford to spend whatever they want and they keep him from going somewhere else as a closer.

[daneblazer]

He'll be the closer in 2012. Rivera is already fading and he isn't getting any younger. See Trevor Hoffman...

who's joe bob

[jjgold]

Lol


Yanks are done
Too Old

[Dirty Sanchez]

who's joe bob

Think he's referring to Joba...hope not because he's a trainwreck as a starter. Hopefully he shows up to camp 40 pounds lighter...he needs to slim down bigtime

[lemart5]

Yankees are going older and older.

joba as a starter

guy's a fukkin disaster in the rotation. thats never happening.

[beach nut]

They definitely overpaid.

[DrStale]

Damn, now they only have about 870 million to spend.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Hardly done, but they are aging.

[EaglesPhan36]

Unless they trade Joe Bob, I would bank on him being in the rotation if Pettite stays retired.

[csm506]

This could be it for Cashman unless the moves pays off let's wait and see, he is not from the Braves

[VegasInsider]

They had to overpay someone this offseason....thank you, Yankees!

[csm506]

Well at least not directly, if you get my drift, Hammond, to name one of many...

[Johnnythunder]

This is s great move by the Yankees. They did overpay though.

[dynamite140]

who is this scrub? i know alfonso though

The Rays closer last season. Was solid for them.

Rivera is hardly fading. Guy just keeps ticking. He is a fine physical specimen unlike Hoffman. Rivera is good for two more years. HE is one of those guys that no one will ever catch up to and then he will vanish into thin air without anyone figuring him out.

[Buried_PIRATE]

As a Twins fan, I just gotta say the Yanks kick our butt. Hopefully they get buried with bad signings

Your small ball tactics don't work.

[Wreckloose]

Nice of them to do that for the Rays.

[Igetp2s]

It's insurance in case Rivera gets injured or pitches like his age, which are not incredibly unrealistic possibilities.

JD is a good pitcher

[illfuuptn]

Didn't need to give him that much but he's a great player and that signing will benefit you.

Sadly, the twins pay roll has risen steadily from 65 mill to around 100 mill. The game changer last year was Morneau being out for the playoffs (Granted the twins got hot without him, but we needed his gorgeous blue eyes and studly figure in the lineup).

[pozzy]

They are getting desperate.. 35 mill is a pretty steep price..

[xX Das Boot Xx]

Lets go Mets!
