sheffeld is mad

yankees picked up 13 million dollar option

i would work with him to make him free agent and get him out of the lockerroom

With the new 5 year labor deal, the yankees get a steal at 13 million for his option vs what he would have gotten on the FA market.

Good move by NY, and if Sheffield is mad, maybe he shouldn't have signed that contract in the first place.  The yanks didn't do anything wrong.

wait, i thought they were shopping him around as of like 2 days ago?

They are. They want to trade him, not drop him into free agency,  so he doesnt end up on the sox or the mets.

that's what I meant, I wasn't paying attention/reading clearly when I posted the last thing... I was half-heartedly paying attention in class when I posted that

yankees wont keep this unproductive cancer

[sdgukhsdgl]

i wouldnt call him unproductive, when he is healthy he is still good for around a .300avg, 30+ HR, 100 RBI type numbers ... hardly unproductive

[smazza]

last year at 38 years old he was unproductive

would you pay him 13 million?

would you give him a 3 year deal?

if it was your money i think not

[sdgukhsdgl]

last year he was out for like 100 games due to various injuries, I would not go as high as 13, but probably 10 and make it incentive laden... he is consistent when healthy

Guaranteed $13 million, playing for one of the premier sports franchises in the whole world and he's mad ........ Baseball players are effed up.
