Baseball’s Savior

This is one of those articles that is written a little deceptively.  If you just read the first sentence, it almost seems like Mariano Rivera is playing hardball with the Yankees because of how the Yankees treated Bernie Williams this year.  As you read more, you realize that the author is just trying to comingle the two issues.

Yes, since we don’t have Rivera under contract for 2008, he very could not be a Yankee in 2008.  My bet is though, that he’s back in pinstripes in 2008 when the Yankees close out Yankee Stadium and he’ll be paid very well for his services.  This is all a bunch of stuff about nothing.
