Yanks Officially Make Qualifying Offers

[rrzubnyy]

Wrong, Wrong, and Wrong.

1. We do not know if Kuroda will accept. (We should hope he does)

2. Even if we get Kuroda we still have the money and rotation spot for Haren.
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???

Im warming to the idea of bringing Martin back.

He's still a better catcher than most out there.

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

Let's see what he actually wants vs. other options before assuming this.

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.

[Pinstripe power]

He's a part time catcher at best.

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?
