Re: Mariano Rivera to test Free Agency
Tom, I threw Abreu in there because it's my understanding that he'd be getting $16M next year. To me, that's too much but then again.. it is the Yankees and he's been alright for them, struggled at times, but still has value.

You're right, the Yankees don't have a budget, but how far is too far for A-Rod? Do you pay him whatever he wants or do you establish a cutoff point?

Lets remember.. If they sign Posada and/or Rivera and then on top of it sign Andy, I think even the Yankees might think it's too much...

Plus, there are some free agents out there this year and next that would be a great fit in a Yankee uniform.

If you bring back basically the same team next year but with a new manager, I can't see the Yanks winning the series.

There needs to be some major changes and a influx of younger talent that can grow together.
