What do you do with Delgado after next year? There is no guarantee he will show up to play for $8 million anyway. You know he will want an extention and you may wind up with a Manny situation. They have Wright signed to a good contract and there is no other position player that they will have to pay in the near future.

Obviously if they can get Tex that is a different story, but that added money could be the difference between having Fuentes and a top closer or having neither. And won't the Yanks break the bank for Tex?
