    I thought for sure he would be traded. Shows how much I know.

    Ichiro seems to serve no purpose?

    no... a good back-up, but he's probably #5 at this point... Gardner, Els, Beltran, and Soriano are above him...

    It just goes to show you the Yanks were never not going to spend the money.

    Forget Soriano, he's as close to permanent as a DH as you're going to get.

    Good to know Gardner will be here for the next few years.
    Good homegrown player, excellent outfielder who should be entering his best years. Good news.

    Is there a trade no clause?

    ...no, but I would not be surprised if there is an "opt out" clause. :lol:

    I like Gardner and I am not hardcore opposed to this deal, but I think it's a bit much... I don't think he's worth that much... and I really thought he'd be used as a trade for someone like a SP/3B/2B/RP... Like I said, I like him, but this doesn't make that much sense...

    Wait, you still may be right unless there was a no-trade clause. He now has more value in trade because he is signed to what I feel is a serviceable contract

    Now that the Yanks have broken the seal regarding contract extensions, do we see a DRob extension so on?

    Agree Hammer, 13 mill for a .268 hitter with no power and has 2 good steal seasons is a joke. Now, at that number he's untradeable without eating a good chunk of the contract. Guess those minor league outfielders that have been touted like heathcott and mason are way way way way way down the line.
