The New York Yankees will sign Chase Headley, write it down, take a picture I don't give.. well yeah if you've seen the movie you know the rest. Headley is essentially the third base equivalent of Andrew Miller as both players have expressed an interest in wanting to be a Yankee. Miller acknowledged turning down a four year deal with a fifth year option for a higher AAV with Houston to be a Yankee and I can see the same thing happening with Headley. Headley has even went as far as to name the Yankees as his "top choice" to sign with this winter so most of us are sticking here wondering what's the hold up?
Well the hold up is this mystery team that has offered Headley that huge deal worth $65 million while the Yankees were seemingly unwilling to go past three years for their incumbent third baseman.
Then Andrew Marchand reported that New York was willing to give Headley the fourth year if it mean't keeping the AAV down. Sounds a lot like what they told Miller the night before they signed him.
Brian Cashman knows the Yankees need Headley and are a much better team with the third baseman and he will get the deal done, maybe even today, just remember where you heard it first when it happens.
