Rosenthal notes Yankees in the mix as well. I wouldn't mind Bobby back at a reduced salary, but it seems he will have his options.

I'd imagine that the Yankees would have to overpay for him, since the Rays would be giving him the option to close whereas the Yankees wouldn't.

I severely doubt that KW and JR would allow the singing of PK to criple this teams ability to close and get outs late in games. It makes zero sense to "GO ALL IN" with the lineup and knowing leave an achillies heel wide open with that of the bullpen. I would have to assume KW has some sort of personnel in mind for filling the holes in the pen. Im just shocked that so far those haven't included the likes of Putz, Guerrier, Downs, etc becuase at the end of the day there are only a limited number of reliable relievers and this point they can all be had for well less than what KW has signed relievers for in the past (Dotel 2/12, Linebrink 4/20).

 

LOL Guess I wasnt too far off, I just really felt like "all in" means "all in" not just for the lineup. Im happy the sox have made the move for Crain and I guess we will see on Wood.
