[新聞] Yankees express interest in Manny Ramirez

[richertkk (黃家大少)]

  According to a person familiar with the Yankees' plans, who requested
anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for the team, there is a push
by some members of the Yankees' organization to make a play for free-agent
outfielder Manny Ramirez.

 The Yankees are negotiating simultaneously with free-agent starting pitchers
A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe, having increased their offer to Burnett to five
years and about $80 million by Wednesday night. But while they wouldn't mind
signing both of those pitchers in addition to CC Sabathia, they don't think
it's realistic that they will.

 So, assuming they only get one, they'd try to fill their other rotation spot
with Ben Sheets or (more likely) Andy Pettitte, and that's when they could
turn their attention to spending money on Manny.

 There was a report somewhere today about Hank Steinbrenner liking Ramirez,
and apparently he's not the only one in the organization who feels that way.
One Yankee insider said the team is driven to build a World Series winner in
the short-term, especially since Sabathia can opt out of his seven-year
contract after the first three years, and that many in the organization believe
the lineup is short on power.

 Pairing Ramirez with fellow 500-homer club member Alex Rodriguez in the middle
of the lineup would certainly solve that problem. It might cause some
overcrowding issues with Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui under contract for
one more year, but the team could make a separate deal to alleviate that, by
trading away one of those guys or Xavier Nady.

  As for Ramirez's famed flakiness and attitude issues, the Yankees believe
they would be able to keep him focused because they have been told he's
"obsessed" with the idea of getting to 600 career home runs. He currently has
527.

 The question is what kind of deal Ramirez is seeking. He turned down a
two-year, $45 million deal from the Dodgers and is said to be looking for at
least four years. It's unclear whether the Yankees would be willing to invest
$100 million in Ramirez over four years, but they might be willing to pay him
more per year if he'd take a shorter-term contract.


大意上是只球隊當中不只嘴砲小老闆對Manny有興趣..
然後因為C.C有opt-out條款所以會想再短期內建立一隻有競爭力的球隊...
然後會給Manny比較多錢讓他接受比較短的合約.
