Sheffield no option for Yankees?  26. October 2006 Category:

season isnt even over and already the Yankees are making noise.
Apparently the Evil Empire picked up the one year, $13 million
option they had on Gary Sheffield. So what’s the big news?
Sheffield is throwing a fit. Ok, ok, that is nothing new but his
reasoning is. He simply doesn’t want to have only a one year
contract. Sheffield is quoted as follows:  “This will not work,
this will not work at all. I don’t want to play first base a
year for them. I will not do that. I don’t know what they’re
[Yankees] going to do. Maybe they picked it up just to trade me.
If they do that, if I just [go] to a team for one year, there’s
going to be a problem.” (fromÂ  Now, keep in mind that Sheffield
negotiated this contract HIMSELF. If you remember, we were
treated to a back and forth “he’s signed, he isnt” media circus
before he eventually signed the contract that he is now angry
about having to fulfill.
