Kat O'Brien at Newsday spoke with Jorge Posada on his offseason plans.

"The Mets are interested; they've contacted us," Posada said. "The Mets, the Marlins, Toronto, all of them are interested."

Does Posada have an interest in any of those clubs?

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," he said. "First we've got to sit down with the Yankees and talk and see what they have to say."

Among other things, Jorge said that he's glad that Girardi is the manager and that his preference is still New York (actually, his wife said that).

From Mark Feinsand:

Posada appears ready to make the Yankees work for his services, according to sources familiar with the discussions, as the five-time All-Star catcher plans to wait until he can hear offers from other teams before making a decision. ...

The biggest sticking point for Posada may wind up being the length of a deal, as the 36-year-old is seeking a four-year pact, according to sources, who said the Yankees have internally discussed an offer of three years and $40 million. With the Mets expected to be one of the teams in the bidding, Posada plans to see what his market value is, though the Yankees likely will do whatever they must in order to retain the popular 11-year veteran.
