It seems like the Yankees and the Dodgers are being mentioned alot for the FA'a and players that are available via trade.

In another story.. it looks like Mo wants a 4th year and he is a little angry with one of the twins about his age remarks.

He could be in the mix for wearing the Blue,

ESPN - Joe Torre figures Mariano Rivera will end up staying with the Yankees. If not, the Los Angeles Dodgers' new manager has an open spot waiting in his bullpen.

"Anybody who doesn't want him is crazy. Let's put it that way," Torre said Wednesday evening.

The Yankees offered the All-Star closer a $45 million, three-year contract to stay in New York and were waiting to hear back. If he accepts the deal, Rivera would be by far the highest-paid relief pitcher in baseball.

Rivera has spent all 13 of his major league seasons with the Yankees and ranks third on the career saves list with 443. He filed for free agency this offseason, but Torre thinks Rivera will return to New York.

"I haven't talked to him about it, but I'd be surprised if he didn't," Torre said. "He's state-of-the-art for me. I don't know what he's thinking at this point in time."

NOOOOOO I like Saito. MR can go retire j/k. I would love to have one of the best closer in baseball in our bullpen. We can have Broxton, Saito and MR to finish off our opponents. Or we can have some trade baits for a bat.

Mo would be great but I would hate to see Saito be replaced. The guy has been a true warrior over the last 2 years. Over the last 2 years, i don't think Saito has earned more than 3 million. I'd love for us to bring the guy back and give him is dues. Rivera would also be great but I'd like it for us to take care of our guys first.
