Mariano Rivera to pursue Free Agency
According to the Rotoworld site:
While fellow free agent Jorge Posada wasn't ready to talk, Mariano Rivera indicated that he planned on testing the market as a free agent. "They had the opportunities and they didn't do nothing with me," he said, "so we'll see what happens. ... This is a business. Nothing against the New York Yankees."
So if we give Mo-Riv $10 million a year for 3 years, would it be wise to trade Frankie for something juicy?
Frankie is just ONE season away from free agency and looking for a big, big payday.

Bad Idea

I would not...
70 innings for $10 million? Really?
Just not worth it. I'd let him walk and find another closer on the cheap...
But that's me...

yes
seeing as theres no real sluggers at a position we need, trade route would probably be the best way to go about it. and i say this fully aware that adam dunn might be available. he sucks.
what about frankie and aybar for aramis ramirez or something? get the guy we wanted last year for what we all knew was less than what we would have given him. this, of course, is assuming the cubs sell their soul to the a-rod devil.

i'd take k-rod over shields anyday. but i'm also a big k-rod fan so everything i say is tinged with bias.
keep k-rod!!!

I'd go along with this...
If you could work on the mental part of the game with Santana... he could be great... he has good stuff... just a matter of keeping his mind in the game.

Rivera sucked...?
He has come down to earth a bit but closers are like Running Backs in football. They have a 5 year window of domination. They can continue to be a solid contributor but never the same.
I dont want Rivera just like everyone else, but to say he "sucked, sucks..." is a bit shortsighted.

Neither were Kevin Gregg, Derrick Turnbow
K-Rod has morphed into Guillermo Mota -- a 97 MPH arrow-straight dart thrower. Man Ram's shot is still hovering somewhere over New Hampshire.
