The Official 2012-2013 New York Yankees Offseason Thread II

Correct.

Yep. They already signed Marshall for 3/$16.5 and he is the setup man.

Ok, I am just spoiled with all of the high priced setup men we've had thru the years.....

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Pirates might be willing to offer Russell Martin a three-year deal in the range of $25 million.

The belief is that the Yankees are only willing to offer two years, so the Pirates may come in with the top bid. Martin likes New York and he would have the best chance to win there, so it's possible he could stick around if the Yankees add an option year or bump up his annual salary. The Rangers and Mariners have also been mentioned as possible suitors for Martin, but it appears that the decision will come down to the Pirates and Yankees. The 29-year-old backstop will likely make his choice in the next several days, possibly before the Winter Meetings begin next week.

I don't mind the Yanks playing hardball with these contracts. If Muscle wants to play for the Pirates becuase of the extra money then let him walk. Sounds more like "I will say I'm interested in the Pirates so the Yanks offer up 3 years." Then he will accept if the Yanks decline to match it and enjoy his time in Pittsburgh.

Do you think we should go after Josh Hamilton? NY's offense is rated high in the season but look at our postseasons & Josh alone beat us the yr prior. We could rip Texas by signing him as they would become much weaker.
