Mariano Rivera: I'm coming back
New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has informed the team he intends to
pitch next season, general manager Brian Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com's
Andrew Marchand on Saturday.
"He wants to play again," said Cashman, who was informed by the reliever of
his decision Friday. "I'll work with his agent, Fernando Cuza, on the details
of a contract."
After he crumbled to the turf and tore his ACL in Kansas City in early May,
Rivera, who turns 43 years old on Nov. 29, vowed he would return in 2013.
"I'm coming back," an emotional Rivera said in Kansas City a day after the
injury. "Put it down. Write it down in big letters. I ain't going down like
this."
However, late last week there were reports that Rivera was unsure if he would
return next season.
The negotiations for a new contract could be a bit complicated. Rivera made
$15 million last season, but even with the front office's utmost respect for
him, it is unclear what it will offer him considering he would be returning
after a season in which he pitched in only nine games.
In Rivera's place this past season, Rafael Soriano thrived as the Yankees'
closer, converting 42-of-46 save chances. Soriano could opt out of the final
season of his contract. Soriano's agent, Scott Boras, hinted that Soriano
would choose free agency but said a final decision had not been made.
