Yankees Brewin' up multi-year offer for free agent Ben Sheets http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/12/08/2008-12-08_yankees_brewin_up_multiyear_offer_for_fr.html http://tinyurl.com/5runv3 BY MARK FEINSAND DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Monday, December 8th 2008, 11:25 PM LAS VEGAS - While most of the attention in the Yankees' universe is focused on CC Sabathia, the Bombers are preparing to make an offer to another free agent pitcher from Milwaukee in the next 72 hours. According to a source, the Yankees will offer Ben Sheets a multiyear deal - most likely for two years in the $30 million range (Daily News updated the number from $30M to $26 million December 9th 2008, 9:56 AM) - before the winter meetings conclude on Thursday. Sheets, a 30-year-old righthander who was one of the heroes of Team USA in the 2000 Olympics, declined arbitration this weekend, so he'll cost the team that signs him a first-round pick in next year's draft. Sheets earned $11 million last year, going 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in the final season of his four-year, $38.5 million contract. He is 86-83 with a 3.73 ERA in eight seasons, all with the Brewers, but has only made 30-plus starts in four of those seasons due to injuries. ALL QUIET WITH CANO: Despite reports that the Yankees are talking with the Dodgers about a Robinson Cano-for-Matt Kemp deal, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said Monday that he hasn't had any discussions with the Bombers about the second baseman. The Dodgers are looking to fill numerous holes, so dealing Kemp, who hit .290 with 18 homers this year, for one player makes little sense. The Yankees are planning on Cano being their second baseman, according to Brian Cashman, though the GM didn't rule out the possibility of trading him. "We signed him last year as a long-term piece here," Cashman said. "It doesn't mean he can't get traded, but I think Robbie Cano is going to have another big year next year despite the year he had (.271, 14 HR, 72 RBI)." PETT PROJECT: Cashman said he has been exchanging e-mails with Randy Hendricks, who represents Andy Pettitte, but no progress has been made toward bringing the lefthander back. ... Jorge Posada, who finished the first part of his rehab program this week in Tampa, began his throwing program Monday. Cashman is expecting the catcher to be ready for Opening Day. ... Cashman confirmed that he has not made an offer to Mark Teixeira, though he said he was "very impressed" with the free-agent first baseman after meeting with him and Scott Boras last week. ---- 大意: 有消息指出 洋基準備向Ben Sheets提出複數年合約 可能是2年3千萬左右 他們會在星期四冬季會議結束前提出 也就是72小時以內 沒有關於Cano/Pettitte的新進展 現金人相信Cano明年會比今年好 --
