For the Yankees it isn't a lot of money but it is somewhat of a long-term deal. Posada's 36 right now. Sure he came off the best season of his career but by the time this contract expires he'll be 40 and his skills will be deteriorated by then. Unfortunately for the Yankees, they had no other options. There aren't any other great catches on the market right now and the one in the minors isn't developed yet/too young. Regardless, I'm glad Jorge's staying and hopeful Mo does as well.
