CC, Kuroda, Hughes, Nova, Phelps.... Seriously, you don't think we can bump Nova or Phelps for Dan Haren?

3. Kuroda was better than Haren last season. I love Haren, but he's showing more signs of decline than Hiroki, regardless of age.

On top of that, we might not want to trade any more prospects for a pitcher when we can try to retain Andy and Hiroki. The rumors already point to us having limited interest in Haren.

The trade was already made but how was Cashman going to sign Pettitte, Rivera, Kuroda and then Haren and his $13 million?

Nova and Hughes helps keep the payroll lower.....If George was here then yes but Hal and his mothball wallet run the show now.....

Haren would be a one year rental.

Well, maybe let's not bring Pettitte back. You talked about health issues in another thread. Andy missed more time this season than Haren ever has. And Soriano's opting out covers Haren's money.

And let's stop pretending if George were here everything would be different Has payroll declined since George let the kids run the team? Are the new luxury tax rules not insane? Wouldn't any owner be hell bent on getting under that cap # to reset the luxury tax???

The problem is going to be the size and length of the deal. Martin's gone.

Swisher rejects qualifying offer!

Thank you!

Add a draft pick!

come on man im harmless , i enjoy all ur guys takes even if some of em piss me off. But i wear my emotions on my sleeve and just like all new yorkers am not afraid to let em be known. Anyways , i hope none of u guys were too badly affected by that ***** sandy , my old neighborhood on long island , copiague/lindenhurst got pretty banged up bad, but none of my family or friends got hurt , just lots of flooding and damage. Peace out guys , go knicks/giants !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Swisher were on the Rangers, everyone would be clamoring for us to sign this guy.

exactly. and I'd rather have Chris Stewart behind the plate than Martin. Martin got $6 mill to hit .211 on the season. While Stewart isn't much better at least he's getting significantly less than what Martin got paid. Martin swung for the fences every time he got to the plate too which is the biggest problem with this Yankee team. That's what we see Tex, A-Rod, Swisher all doing and that's why they decline every year.

We're not offering Martin a qualifying offer, because he'd take it. It would be more than we could get him for as a free agent.

how bad is he kicking himself for not signing that 20 million dollar extension he was rumored to be offered?
