Given Jeter and Rivera are coming off excellent seasons at ages where they could become useless at any point in time (not that it's probable, just possible) it certainly makes sense to wait. The odds of improvement this year for those two have to be ~1%, so there's no downside.
hmm, one of these is not like the other. If Jeter signed a deal, then people would ask about Mariano, not Girardi. And if Mariano signed a deal, then people would ask about Jeter. I don't see Girardi being in the same class of importance.
Sometimes it burns them (as with Posada's deal) but more often than not I think it is a good plan, since the chance of them losing a guy they have and really want is low.
the yankees have this luxury because no other team can offer more money, and neither player's going anywhere for less.
damn yankees.
And the Yankees did buy out Cano's arbitration years a few years back, but then switched and did not buy out CMW's arbitration years (in hindsight, a wise decision) or extend Mariano or Posada when they were hitting FA at the end of 2007-2008
Of course, Cashman knows that one of these is not like the other. But he sure as hell can't say so.
I think it was a shot at the NY media, and the hand-wringing that (in Cashman's view) would result from negotiating/extending one of the named 3 and not the others. In KC that wouldn't be a big concern. I don't particularly agree or disagree, but I think that's what he was saying.
St. Louis is a little more like KC than NY, in terms of the media that is, and there has been an outcry to extend Pujols for at least the past year.
However, the HOF manager has pretty much been year-to-year for the past 5 years. It is pretty easy to seperate the manager from the mang.
No, I don't think he ever says anything that you don't find a way to take issue with it.
I took it to mean that with a team on a smaller budget - like KC - the signing of one of these guys might be reasonably expected to preclude the signing of the others, so there wouldn't be so much wondering why they signed one and not all. The Yankees are expected (right now, at least) to sign all three.
GMs get a total pass on taking passing shots at the excess of the Yankees. I think Cashman is entitled to call out teams that lean furthest on the other side, especially given that the Yankees provide them with a good deal of their revenue.
