Late last night Jorge was reported to have accepted a four-year, $52.4 million deal. I felt he would stay after Jeter expressed his opinion on his long-time teammate and friend. The Yankees would've gotten heavily criticized if they let a catcher who batted .338 last year go after letting the world's greatest manager go. So Jorge will rejoin Jeter and the Yankees will have at least 2 champs on the team. Pettitte will either be a Yankee or retire. The next Priority is Mariano Rivera. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, the LA Yankees have added Mattingly & Bowa to the coaching staff as expected. Signing up A-Rod and Mariano Rivera remain as possibilities. Though it hasn't been mentioned much in the media, I feel that Bernie Williams will come out of retirement to join the Dodgers... just a hunch.
This offseason will be very interesting!
