Brian " C.R.E.A.M." Cashman finally made a move. However, it came with many clauses. The Yankees bolstered their soon-to-be overworked bullpen with last years save leader, Rafael Soriano. This came as a bit of a surprise. Firstly, everyone knows that the problem with the Yanks resides in their starting staff. As of now, there are 3 starters, one of which is asshat Burnett.
So, Cashman decides to give up a first round draft choice (MLB mandated when signing a "class A" free agent" and tunzuh money. How much?
It is a 3 year deal worth as much as $35 million. It took the Yankees "lots of headaches" when they came up with a very similar contract offering for Mariano Rivera. Mariano Rivera!!!
The catch is that Soriano has the option to opt out after every year. This gives the Yanks some security as if Soriano blows, they can sever ties without owing much money.
Still a shocker though. I mean we beat up Joba's mind with sending him to and from the starting rotation about one hundred times, now were going to sign a guy who has been all over the league and had one good damn season to take the role that Joba is probably better for, a set up guy?
He is getting more than starter money, and he will be required to eat about one inning a game, and only games that we're winning!
Not happy, however, not mad. If this pays off, Cashman will look great. If the Yankees sheet the bed this year, and have to eat the contract of an overrated reliever, you'll be hearing more from me. Until number 28 comes around, keep choppin'
