Yorvit Torrealba has had himself a bit of a tumultuous month or two. After an historic World Series run with the Rockies, Torrealba hopped into free agency and fielded serious offers from the New York Mets. In all, Torrealba -- a thoroughly mediocre player -- looked set to go make a pretty penny for his mediocrity. Alas, it was not to be. The Mets went in a different direction by unloading Guillermo Mota to the Brewers for Johnny Estrada, and Yorvit was left on the outside looking in. Now, he's accepting his fate; he'll re-sign with the Rockies:
Yorvit Torrealba is staying in Colorado, agreeing Thursday to a two-year deal worth about $7 million with a mutual option for 2010.Ouch. Torrealba could have been making oh, $15 million or so, and now he's back in Colorado for half that price. I'm sure he likes being in Colorado and all ... but probably not more than an extra $8 million. Ouch.Torrealba, who filed for free agency after helping the Rockies reach the World Series, was set to sign a three-year contract for about twice the money with the New York Mets this month. The Rockies got back into the mix when that deal fell apart and the Mets traded for Johnny Estrada instead.
