NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees took advantage of Roger Clemens' attendance at Legends Field on Wednesday to ask Clemens back to the Bronx, SI.com has learned.
However, Clemens' answer to the Yankees didn't exactly clear up the situation. He told Yankees owner George Steinbrenner that he wasn't close to deciding his comeback plans.
A source on another team said Clemens is believed to be seeking $4 million a month, which would represent a slight raise over the pro-rated $22 million he made in 2006. That figure probably won't scare off the Yankees or Boston Red Sox but might give the Houston Astros pause. Those are the three teams in the Clemens derby.
It is believed Clemens is planning a June return, like last year when he returned for his third season after "retiring.'' He is 38-18 with a 2.40 ERA since he announced his "retirement'' following the 2003 season.
Clemens was asked by writers in Tampa what Steinbrenner said to him during their visit, and Clemens responded by saying, "I'll pass on that one.'' However, it was learned that the Yankees took the opportunity of Clemens' visit to watch good friend Andy Pettitte pitch against the Reds to apply a little pressure. Or at the very least, ask him the $24 million (pro-rated) question.
"I don't know what's going to happen,'' Clemens told Yankees writers.
That's about what he told Steinbrenner as well. The intrigue continues. |

He will get paid eventually. I will stop watching baseball if he becomes a yankee. |

I'm sure he'd be just as good as A-Rod in the playoffs |

But both former teammates said they thought Clemens would play this year.
"Do I think he is? Yes," Jeter said.
"When it comes down to it, that's my guess," Pettitte said. |

Same here! In fact I am SO sick of hearing about it that I clicked on the link to it on here and then, to further it... I clicked on 'reply' and am typing a few words about it. I might even click the box that says 'Email Notification: emails sent to you whenever someone replies. Only registered users are eligible.' so I can FURTHER be sickened of hearing about it. |

Seems Pavano was PISSED and didn't start yesterday because it seems that Clemens to the Yanks is a done deal......watch this |

| It would be cool as hell to see Clemens back with the Yanks for one last time. I know some people wouldn't be happy, but oh well. |

Can you imagine getting paid $4,000,000 per month?
A nice check for $1,000,000 a week.
DAMN!! |

| I'd take him on the Giants. Zito, Clemens, Cain would be a hell of a 3 man rotation if we could get into the playoffs. |

Yeah, because anything Peter Gammons says usually occurs right? :rolleyes: He's so fucking bias towards the Red Sox it's sickening... |

| This is such a non-story. Cashman even said yesterday that he and Clemens haven't talked, and the ONLY reason he was at the game was to watch Pettite pitch. Call me after the 4th of July when this self-righteous douche makes up his mind as to where he's going to pitch in 2007. :rolleye2: |

:bigclap:
That was funny, but have you seen Curt? Thats the fattest I have ever seen him and Curt actually said he owes his career to Clemens, said Clemens took him under his wings when he was younger and let him train with him, fact.
Clemens isn't pitching and he looks like he is in better shape then Curt. And shockingly, D Mat has a belly too, WTF? |

| they've given Pavano 20 mil to basically do shit for two years, so this would be $ well spent. |

Except with the offense and bullpen the Giants have, they wont survive the regular season. |
