[閒聊] Rivera Convinced Yankees to Sign Soriano
For weeks now, the Yankees have downplayed their interest in Rafael Soriano.
Character issues, they said. Immature. Had run-ins with Joe Maddon in Tampa
and Bobby Cox in Atlanta. Despite his indisputable wealth of talent, Soriano
has been on three teams in nine years and left a trail of disgruntled
ex-teammates in his wake. Not worth the risk, not at the price he and his
agent, Scott Boras, were asking.
And now, suddenly, Soriano is about to become a Yankee.
According to the source, who insisted upon anonymity because he is not
authorized to speak until Soriano passes his physical and the deal is
official, [Mariano Rivera] played no small role in that.
In fact, it appears that he played a huge role. “Mariano knows this kid very
well,” the source said. “All those issues the Yankees were concerned with
came up in the negotiations, but Mariano spoke to Brian Cashman and Hal
Steinbrenner and convinced [them] that he had matured and was worth getting.
He told them he would look after the kid as a Yankee, bring him along so that
in two years, he’ll be ready to close for them.”
