Ax, Ichiro and Matsui playing together would off been really good, but don't know if Mariners can part with him. They did let A-Rod go, didn't they. But Yankees should focus on getting quality pitchers and relievers. They shuold really dig deep in the thin free agent market or try to pull up a trade. If they were free, I'd take Contreras, Santana and Dontrell Williams. Those three in a team can guarantee a World Series, I tell you that much. Add this to the news list: 1. A-Rod named A.L. MVP, beating Big Papy by 5 votes for the first place (21 to 16). He is the 4th player to win MVP in 2 different position and also with 2 diff. teams. 2. Angels pitcher Bartolo Colon robbed Mo Rivera of CY Young awards. 3. Bobby Valentine (ex-Mets skipper) is closer to signing the Japanese league for next season, after taking his team to the league title last season. That leaves Dodgers & Red Sox mgr less, not that they were going to persue him anyways. 4. Theo Epstein was offered a GM's job at a minor league club (believe in Boston) where he was offered a salary close to 85 k, about 35 times less of what he refused to get. Ofcourse he rejected it.
