In spite of palliative tossed to fans about "set to offer $40 million to Posada..."--no word

"Almost a year of talking with the Yankees hasn't resulted in Jorge Posada signing an extension and with the recent changes in the club's universe it's not likely the All-Star catcher will ink a pact soon.

• “We have been negotiating with the Yankees in earnest for 10 months and there are issues to be addressed,'' agent Seth Levinson said yesterday.
• “And no offer has been made.""

From NY Post article by George King, "Posada Camp Waits on Offer," 10/24/07

• Big headlines might've caused people to think offers had been made or were about to be. Fooled again. Nothing from the Yankees to Posada to date--this doesn't quite make the headlines. Then you have Mo--I'm not sure Hank knows who he is. Except he knows Joba won't be setting up for him. (sm)

UPDATE: 10/27 from the Star Ledger of Newark, "The Yankees feel they are making progress with Rivera but fear Posada may want to test the market." From article, "Yanks announcement on hold over Weekend," by Ed Price. Trivia: Ed Price is a world famous celebrity. Of the 2 so-called "New York voters" for AL MVP in 2006, Ed secured his place in history by not voting Derek Jeter #1.
