Now you've done it, Nolan. Not only are the Rangers trying to persuade Cliff "it was only one game!" Lee into staying in the Texas area, but Mr. Big Gun is trying to court a Yankee great.
According to Sports Illustrated;
"Rangers president Nolan Ryan recently reached out to Pettitte's camp to see if he could convince the free-agent lefthander to pitch in his home state in 2011. Pettitte called Ryan after the Rangers eliminated the Yankees in the ALCS, according to a second source, congratulating him on Texas' first-ever trip to the World Series."
Bold. If Brian Cashman wasn't getting enough heat already from Yankee fans about his inability to sign Mo and Jeet forever, now he has to deal with this possibility? Preposterous. The thought of any of those three guys leaving, let alone a combination of them, would literally ruin my childhood. These guys are the baseball that I grew up on.
I do not believe the hype, but the fact that a rumor like this even exists is an issue. Cashman needs to get it together man. We can't be offering Lee 100 years 100 billion publicly and chump change to the Captain.
Mr. Ryan is certainly not someone I'd want to piss off though...
Get real or get lost, Cash.
