Ubaldo Jimenez is close to coming off the board for the New York Yankees as he is close to striking a deal with the American League East rival Baltimore Orioles. The contract is said to be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of four years and $48 million. After waiting out Jimenez you have to wonder why he got so much money and so many years at the end of the day. This, even with his ups and downs, makes the Orioles a better team which is never good for the Yankees.
If the deal gets done and the Orioles don't magically find something in his physical they would have to surrender the 17th overall pick in the MLB First Year Players Draft. The Cleveland Indians would also receive a first round compensation sandwich pick for losing their free agent.
