Keep being delusional.

But I agree with you on the 7 years 160M.  I would go no higher than 5 years on him.  I'd rather just sure up the BP and get Soriano than spend money on him over 7 years.

I'm not saying that's what would necessarily happen...  I'm saying a team could realistically go out and commit damn near the same amount of money for all three of those guys as the Yankees would on Lee, under that scenario...

That's STUPID money. Even for the Yankees.

As a Yankees fan I completely agree with you.  I mean if he was lets say 27 then fine.  But he's 33/34 so no thank you.

Braves with a steal

Infante was going to be utility player for the Braves in 2011 and Mike Dunn has control issues sure he throws hard, but the Braves have plenty of relief pitchers.

I wonder where Uggla will play whether 2B or LF I'd leave him in LF but he's most likely going to play 2B because Martin Prado is playing LF in the winter league.

Been waiting. It's hard viewing ESPN without being an insider.

According to ESPNDeportes.com, the Athletics offered free agent Adrian Beltre a five-year, $64 million deal, an amount that would match what he received in a five-year deal he signed with the Mariners after a 2004 season in which he hit 48 home runs. The report quotes a source as saying that the Mariners deal was signed when there was $1 billion less in revenue flowing through the game, suggesting that there was grounds for the All-Star third baseman to receive even more money.

The 31-year-old, who played with the Red Sox on a one-year, $10 million deal in 2010, had his best offensive season since 2004, hitting .321/.365/.553/.919 with 28 homers and 102 RBI. On the strength of that season, agent Scott Boras recently said that the market for Beltre’s services was unprecedented in his experience representing players.

Red Sox GM Theo Epstein said last week that the club’s first choice was to retain Beltre for the 2011 season and beyond, but it remains to be seen whether the years and dollars that the third baseman seeks match up. While the Boston Globe reported that the Sox will not bid more than four years and $52 million on the third baseman, GM Theo Epstein subsequently told the outlet that he has not drawn a “line in the sand.
