Abreu wants three-year deal from Yankees




Abreu wants three-year deal from Yankees - Sports Rumors - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Quote:
Bobby Abreu loves New York. In the coming weeks, that love will be put to the test. The outfielder will have to decide on his baseball future in the next month or two, as he hits the free agent market for the first time in his 12-year career.
Abreu has said several times that he would like to remain with the Yankees, having enjoyed his 2½-year stint in pinstripes. But the 34-year-old also is seeking at least a three year-contract, leading most baseball insiders to believe the outfielder will wind up in a new uniform this winter.
According to a source, Abreu has been upset by some recent media reports and speculation suggesting that his days in the Bronx are over. Abreu is vacationing with his family in the Bahamas and is expected to return to the area this weekend, although his situation won't be settled until next month at the earliest, as he figures to test the free agent market.
GM Brian Cashman said he has not discussed any contract issues with Abreu or his representatives, so he wasn't in a position to say how many years Abreu is seeking. But Cashman, who pulled the 2006 deadline deal to acquire Abreu from the Phillies along with pitcher Cory Lidle, stressed that he is "a big fan" of the outfielder. "I thought he was a welcome addition," Cashman said. "He solidified right field, was an offensive force and has been a steady performer. He's a professional, and his demeanor is outstanding. He's done a great job."

Re: Abreu wants three-year deal from Yankees

Abreu? I like him, great year but too old and too expensive. The Yankees need to get more athletic in the field if not younger. No more Johnny Damons.

I would pass. He is a good, but not great player. I saw him in a Phils uniform for a lot of years, and I wouldn't want him back here either!
