Sources: Rivera wants 4th year in deal Ken Rosenthal/ FOXSports.com There is a reason why Mariano Rivera has not accepted the Yankees' offer of a three-year, $45-million contract. Mo还没接受洋基3年4500万的offer是有原因的. Rivera, according to major-league sources, wants a fourth guaranteed year. Mo想要第四年获得保证. The Yankees remain the overwhelming favorite to retain Rivera. No other club is expected to even approach their proposal, much less top it. 洋基还是Mo的最爱. But Rivera, who turns 38 on Nov. 29, has instructed his agents to shop him, in part because he was angered by Hank Steinbrenner referring to his age in recent comments about the Yankees' offer, a source says. Mo因为Hank对他的年纪有所评论而生气, 要经纪人四处兜售自己. Rivera has specifically mentioned following Joe Torre to the Dodgers, and his agents also are contacting other clubs about his availability. Mo说过要跟Torre去道奇, 他的经纪人也试图跟其他球队联系. Rivera, sources say, believes he deserves the same length of contract as Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who is on the verge of re-signing for $52.4 million over four years, and Mets closer Billy Wagner, who received $43 million over four years after the 2005 season. Mo相信他值得拥有跟Posada一样长的四年合约. Posada即将与洋基签下4年5240万的合约. Mets的closer在2005年球季结束拿到4300万四年的合约. Posada and Wagner are both 36, nearly two years younger than Rivera — and Wagner was 34 when he signed with the Mets as a free agent. Posada和Wagner都是36岁, 将近比Mo年轻两岁. Wagner签自由球员合约时是34岁. Rivera also is certain to note that third baseman Alex Rodriguez would be 42 at the end of his proposed 10-year contract with the Yankees — the same age that Rivera would be at the conclusion of a four-year deal. Mo一定也注意到A-Rod 42岁时是他10年合约的最後一年. Mo如果签到四年的合约, 他最後一年也是42岁. Rivera's ERA rose to 3.15 last season after four straight years below 2.00, but he went 30-for-34 in save opportunities, regained his dominance in September and worked 4 2/3 scoreless innings against the Indians in the postseason. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7450914 --
