November 14, 2007 -- Hank Steinbrenner opened the door even wider for
Mariano Rivera to return to the Yankees yesterday and - perhaps more
interesting - did not slam the door on the potential of bringing back Alex Rodriguez.
Maybe it is just wishful thinking or part of a negotiating strategy,
but in recent days the Yankees began to hear some buzz that Rodriguez
was interested in engaging the organization in conversations. Until
yesterday, Steinbrenner had dismissed Rodriguez since his agent, Scott
Boras, announced during Game 4 of the World Series that his client was
opting out of the final three years of his contract. Upset that
Rodriguez would not even return his calls or negotiate with the club,
Steinbrenner said the Yanks were moving on without Rodriguez, and the
organization was unified behind that strategy.
