The Yankees are minus an option?

Carlos Pena agreed to return to the Rays for $7.25 million. Some say that it's a DH option for the Yankees that's come off the board. Well, I don't think Pena ever was an option. His price range was clearly too much for the Yankees. I'm not saying I totally buy into the idea that they'd only pay up to $2 million for a DH, but I don't think they'd pay that much more. As I said, Pena made $10 million last year for the Cubs while having a good season.
