The Official 2012-2013 New York Yankees Offseason Thread II

Bye bye Russ. Loser.

Word on the street - Greinke will set the table for Kershaw. If Greinke gets more than $161M (and from LALA) then Kershaw could test free agency to find out what he's worth.

Kershaw is a free agent after 2014? then he may become a Yankee! Would anyone agree to pay Kershaw 10/250, I would.

Dodgers going to offer suppossedly a 7 year 140/150 mil range for Greinke.

Making him the highest paid RIGHT HANDED pitcher in the leagues.

Second highest paid pitcher behind our Ace, CC.

Kershaw/Greinke is a dam good 1-2.

no I hate any contract over 5 years.. and 10 years for a pitcher makes me want to jump off a building

you may be right, but if enough research was done on his health (I haven't done it) but I assume a front office would, maybe if you knew his health would hold up? like Pettitte's did? 10 years is crazy, but how else could you pry him away from the Dodgers?

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Pirate have reached a deal with Russell Martin, pending a physical.
The New York Times' David Waldstein and CBS Sports' Jon Heyman say the deal is for two years and $17 million. It's a little surprising that the Yankees weren't willing to at least match that, given that Martin seemed to be their clear top choice at catcher. If the Pirates' deal with Martin is finalized, look for the Bombers to go after A.J. Pierzynski.

very surprising

I thought the Yankees were trying to get a 2yr deal? That 2yr deal can't be everything... nah

[RCSownsU]

Too put this into prospective.

B.J. Upton who rocks a .250 BA and a .298 OBP got a 5 year 75.25 million dollar contract

Russell Martin who had a .211 BA got 2 years 17 million dollars.

I picked the wrong profession.

They offered martin a 2 year deal between 12-14 million. As per Heyman

As per other's- Yankees never offered martin a deal at all.

[LeoYankee]

One year deals only! F everyone!

[LeoYankee]

Go offer josh 1/30 tonight.
