Offering Sandman a Paycut? Sleep with One Eye Open


Wow, the Yankees really are serious about the "budget" thing, aren't they?

Bob Klapisch at NorthJersey.com is reporting today the team is preparing to offer Mariano Rivera – you know, the best closer ever – a paycut.

Klapisch writes:

"Team officials are preparing their first offer to Rivera, fully aware he won’t be thrilled. It calls for a pay cut from the $15 million Rivera earned last season, although it remains to be seen just how far down the ladder the Yankees will ask him to go."

Rivera, the most consistently dominant closer we've ever seen, turns 43 this month and will be coming back in the spring following a long layoff resulting from a knee injury that cost the reliever the majority of the 2012 season.
