Exit Sandman?
If the Yankees plan to keep calling on Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning, they might want to think carefully about who would be handing him the ball. Rivera isn't happy that Joe Torre could be out as manager in New York and said the team's decision will be factored into whether he returns.

Re: Exit Sandman?
Sign him to set up for Papelbon

Do you think that the best closer in the history of baseball will accept a set-up role? He is only 38 you know.
Mo is just being emotional after a heartbreaking loss that time will heal. When all set and done - I think Cashman will resign him. |

Re: Exit Sandman?
Lol that'd be the sickest bullpen ever. Obviously not gonna happen. He'll be a Yankee for the rest of his career.

Re: Exit Sandman?
I hope they all read the writing on the wall with the way Torre is being treated and jump ship.

Nah, Rivera is as good as ours next year. While we're at it we should sign Joe Nathan too, and have every pitcher only pitch one inning per game.

You have a point - we did kinda took a step at that by signing Gagne.  |

Re: Exit Sandman?
If Mo can't be on a team that is without Joe, he (most likely) won't be a Yankee next year. If that's how he wants to be, all the power in the world to him. I look forward to him turning down the big check the Yankees offer.
No player has the right to dictate what the team does.

Re: Exit Sandman?
My guess is Torre stays with the team in some manner, not as manager, and smooths a lot of this stuff over. Rivera won't go anywhere.

And it begins.
As for the second part, he has every right in the world to do what he's doing. He's stated a condition for employment. Is that any different than Johnny Damon stating a condition for his employment with the Sox was the extra $3M the Yankees offered per year? Sometimes it isn't all about money. Sometimes its about respect. |
