Rafael Soriano To Opt Out Of Contract
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [October 31, 2012 at 7:45am CST]
Rafael Soriano will opt out of his contract with the Yankees and elect free
agency today, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Soriano's contract
includes a $14MM player option for 2013 with a $1.5MM buyout.
Assuming the right-hander opts out, the Yankees will counter by making him a
one-year qualifying offer worth $13.3MM. This would link Soriano to draft
pick compensation, setting the Yankees up for a potential pick in 2013. The
Scott Boras client is believed to be seeking a four-year deal, Heyman
reports. Soriano probably won't accept New York's qualifying offer, but the
Yankees are likely willing to give him a two-year deal.
The 32-year-old posted a 2.26 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 with 42 saves
this past season. “There is a strong chance that he would have tremendous
value as a free agent,” Boras told Joel Sherman earlier in the month. It's
hard to disagree following such a strong season.
