a Yankees rebuild would take one season. They have to keep Posada and Rivera around - there's no reason not to.

It's really because they'll both probably require 4y 52m or something which they aren't really worth. Posada put up a career season (and will be paid according to that). And with regards to Mariano, check out the 2009 potential FA RPs: KRod, Nathan, Lidge, R. Soriano. The first two would probably command similar money, and the latter two could be had for much cheaper I think.

funny how you didn't trot out a list of potential FA catchers - maybe because there aren't any and the yankees have zero in the system. you really want jose [censored] molina to be the catcher?
you can't bank on next offseason - k-rod might be signed, and lidge stinks - so now you're down to two guys. rivera is tremendous, i see no reason to give him up. he's not holding anyone back and $ is limitless for the yankees.
