Man I'm going to miss playing against Barajas. Dude couldn't throw anyone out.

I guess Pittsburgh gave him the third year the Yankees wouldn't.

Now the race for Mike Napoli gets interesting. The Rangers will likely want him back now that Martin is gone, he's already a target of the Red Sox and the Yankees may get involved now.

Guess the Yankees didn't want him back that much. Very surprised that he didn't get a third year from the Pirates.

The Yankees never made an offer to Russell Martin; they haven't made any offers to position players so far this offseason.

A normal team would roll with those guys, maybe sign a cheap vet as insurance, but this is the Yankees, they will sign somebody notable or make a trade.
