Pieces Falling Into Place

The two biggest pieces of news going into this Friday morning are that the Yankees have increased their offer to Derek Jeter, and that they are on the verge of signing Mariano Rivera to a 2 year $30 million deal. Although no one knows what the increased offer to Derek Jeter is, sources familiar with the negotiation have told the RJG that the increases are enough to buy him one hamburger, every day, for the next million years, assuming moderate inflation and that hamburgers and humans still exist a million years from now. In other news, the Yankees have not signed Cliff Lee yet.
