Would H. Matsui Leave the Yankees?

Discussion in the Nichi-Bei forum
Would H. Matsui Leave the Yankees?
I was wondering what you all thought of the possibility of Hideki Matsui leaving the Yankees. I know he considers it an honor to play for the Yankees, but ....
  • They lost again.
  • They have a terrible environment with George's meddling.
  • George hates Matsui's agent, Arn Tellem.
  • Another team might throw a ton of money his way - it is a weak free agent market in terms of talent
Would he leave for another MLB team?

The Yankees simply can't allow him to leave. Pure and simple. He's too valuable a player to let go. His 0-fer in game 5 aside, he's become a very important part of the team.

If they don't keep him, we can be sure that every team is going to want him.

From everything I've heard, the Yankees want him back and Matsui wants to stay with the team.

I agree, but never underestimate the greed of an agent.
