It appears unlikely that Scott Hairston will be leaving New York this
offseason, but that doesn't mean he won't change teams. ESPN New York's
Wallace Matthews spoke to Hairston's agent Casey Close and was told that
Hairston is in ongoing talks with the Yankees and Mets. Close told Matthews
that his client will likely make a decision in "a matter of days."
Hairston would likely have to settle for a fourth outfielder's role with the
Yankees, in which he'd back up Ichiro Suzuki and Brett Gardner while
providing manager Joe Girardi with a lethal weapon against left-handed
pitching off the bench. The 32-year-old batted .286/.317/.550 against
southpaws in 2012 and boasts a career line of .276/.325/.500 against
opposite-handed pitching.
The Mets, on the other hand, could use Hairston every day, but don't offer
the same hope of reaching the postseason in 2013 having finished 74-88 in
2012 and traded away Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey. General manager Sandy
Alderson told Matthews' colleague Adam Rubin that the team might not make
another outfield addition, but did concede that Hairston is one of the
remaining "meaningful" free agents the team will consider signing. A trade
for an outfielder is unlikely, according to the GM.
Hairston is known to be seeking a multiyear deal, which could pose a problem
for the Yankees, as Matthews points out. The team has shied away from
multiyear commitments all offseason as they look to get under the $189MM
luxury tax threshold by 2014.
Hairston很有可能會在洋基和大都會之間做選擇
在洋基的話基本上就是擔任外野第四人的角色
好處就是洋基有競爭季後賽甚至是世界大賽的實力
選擇大都會的好處就是Hairston可以每天先發
不過相對的球隊晉級季後賽的機率較小
另外
對洋基比較不利的點是Hairston希望能有複數年約
而洋基可能並不希望用複數年約來簽他

說不定洋基一年約給的比較多

洋基今年有機會嗎

大都會GM醒了嗎??今天動作頻頻 XDD

去年好歹也幹了20發HR 還是只能在洋基當替補喔 @@

買在高點?

洋基最近蠻愛給高薪簽一年

非常好用的platoon.....可惜變很貴了
