Give Me Some Mo

Mariano Rivera and his agent, Fern Cuza, are meeting now with the Yankees at Legends Field. Hopefully this leads to an agreement being reached. Resigning Mariano is vital on two fronts. Firstly, he is still an excellent closer. More importantly, keeping him allows the Yankees to stick Joba in the rotation, hopefully allowing him to reach his potential. An ace is significantly more important to a team than a star closer. On a related note, Joe Nathan's option was picked up by the Twins. It is quite possible that they did this to trade him. The Yankees should be involved in any discussions to that effect. Nathan can set up for Mo for a few years and then take the closer job. Anyways, hopefully Mo signs, and is the first domino to fall among the Yankees own free agents, specifically Posada and Pettitte.
