feliciano is close to a deal with #yankees. will get $4 mil a yr, 2 yrs plus, an option
Might be a bit high for a LOOGY, but with Marte out all year, the Yanks need another lefty in the pen this year. At least they didn’t go three years guaranteed and I hope that option is a team option.
UPDATED 12/17/10, 10:15am: Ken Rosenthal has an update (via Twitter):
Feliciano deal with #Yankees will be 2 years, $9M, plus a club option.

Per RAB (with a Bob Klapisch tweet):
According to Bob Klapisch, the Yankees are getting close to a deal with lefty reliever Pedro Feliciano. Our anonymous source that’s both close to the situation and a friend of someone involved in he negotiations who asked not to be named but is a baseball person confirms that the two sides are close. Terms of the deal are unknown, but Scott Downs got three years and $15M while Randy Choate got two years and $2.5M, so I bet it’s somewhere between the two. With any luck, it’ll be a one year deal.
I wholeheartedly agree with Mike Axisa: I’m OK with Feliciano as he’s the typical LOOGY, if used properly, but I do not want to be the lastest team who gets snookered into giving a set-up guy a three year deal. The Mets misused and overused Feliciano, having him lead the NL in appearances each of the last three years. It’s a concern.
His career lefty/right splits:
