Assure he doesn't leave? I'm sorry pal, but as sad as it is to say, the guy's got a FAMILY. I think if his wife says "Andy, it'd really be good for you to be in Texas so you can see you're kids grow up", do you think he's gonna say no? He's already won four rings, so that's not a reason to stay. Plus being ON the Yankees, he probably realizes that the team isn't the same as it was earlier in his career. Clemens is retiring, Stottlemyer and Torre are probably gone, and who knows what other changes are gonna be made. As a Yankee fan, I hate to face the facts, but our so-called "dynasty" is pretty much over. I have a feeling that the '80s and early '90s may be once again upon us Yankee fans. George has gone mad buying up all the offense in the world, while our pitching is about to go down the tubes and into the sewer. Mariano might not even be around much longer, cause he said in '00 or '01 that he was gonna move back home and spend his money on a church for his town in Panama. And if Mariano retires, the Yankees will ultimately become just an ordinary team with and ordinary closer.
