Now that the World Series is over, there are 142 players wondering where they are going to play next year and their agents who are trying to get as much money for their clients as they can. Yes, time for free agency.
Teams have exclusive rights to sign their own free-agents for the next five days and then it's open season.
Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are free-agents and everybody expects them to sign with the Yankees.
But what if they don't? What if the Yankees front office does something stupid (Gee, that would never happen!) and ticks off one or both? Can you imagine Jeter playing elsewhere and Rivera wearing another team's uni?
I can't imagine it and I don't want to imagine it. But it could happen I suppose. Nobody expects them to play for another team but money talks. If the Yankees low-ball either player and another team makes an outrageous offer, then who knows?
Cliff Lee is a free-agent. He said he would love to be back with the Rangers. But can the Rangers match the Yankees dollars?
One appealing free agent is Paul Konerko. If the White Sox don't sign him he won't have any lack of interest. Very underrated, Konerko would look good in a Rockies uniform. But Colorado is going to let Todd Helton play first until his contract runs out.
