Little Yankee News

The Yankees have reportedly picked up the option on Gary Sheffield for next season. He's angry about it because he wanted to test the free agent market and try to get a three year deal for himself as well as not wanting to play first base. ESPN is reporting that the Yankees may have just picked up the option to trade him with several teams interested; the Angels, Orioles, Cubs, Giants, Astros and Rangers.



Personally, I hope the Yankees don't get much return on him and I'd honestly rather see him in pinstripes next season. If the Yankees begin to get younger, it will only hurt the Jays' chances because the best hope they have is for the Yanks to keep their money tied up in older players who get injured easier and whose performance will decrease.
