Mussina to Decide Early Next Week

From Mark Feinsand:

Free agents can start receiving offers from teams at midnight Thursday. Mike Mussina is one of those free agents, but the veteran pitcher still hasn't made up his mind about retirement.

Mussina, who won 20 games this year for the first time in his career, told the Daily News Wednesday that he plans to make his decision early next week.

"I'm still kind of up in the air," Mussina said Wednesday from his home in Montoursville, Penn. "I'm enjoying my time off, but then again, I always enjoy my time off."

It was mentioned again in the article that if Mussina returned it would likely be for three seasons so that he can make a run at 300 wins.

So what do you think, does he stay or does he go? Final answer.

Stays, with Yanks, with incentive-laden deal. Maybe even two years with a player option for three.

Stays. If he wanted to retire, he would have done it already.

Stays with a 2 year deal plus a mutual option for a 3rd year. No incentive options. They Yanks don't seem to offer those type of deals as a policy except for A-Rod's historic HR's.

Andy P gets left out in the cold if they sign another free agent pitcher.

If the Yanks resign Mussina it should only be for one year. He's aging and can only reinvent himself so many times. The Yankee front office needs to stop burdening themselves with bad deals, for unnecessary years (see: Jorge Posada). Personally I believe Mussina should retire, there is no way he tops last year.

Gives his spot to Andy and joins Jamie Moyer to pitch for the Phillies.
