Kuroda for 16 million isn't worth it. Let him walk get haren.

Haren was less effective last season, has back issues, and may want multiple years. Dan Haren is my favorite pitcher in baseball. Given the choice I want Kuroda in pinstripes.

i agree with u 100 %, i love Harren but Kuroda was so good for us last yr. On a 1 yr deal i would have a problem giving him 15-16m, especially if it keep him from going to Japan.

The Dodgers seem like they'll pay whatever for whoever so this scenario is becoming more realistic. Doesn't look like Pineda could take his spot until July and even then Cashman won't know what he has in Pineda until May/June when he can see him pitch.

If he leaves we can jut pick up David Price and Justin Verlander and we should be good for 2013!

Sources: The Yankees have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Hiroki Kuroda.

Signing of Kuroda is the first major hurdle crossed for the Yankees; could help their chances to re-sign Andy Pettitte.

The agreement with the Yankees and Kuroda is for $15 million, with some incentives that are worth less than $1 million.
