  Rivera and Jorge Posada have had distinguished tenures as "True" New York Yankees -- 1996-2000, never forget! -- but last night's loss to the Indians ended their season and potentially their manager's career in New York. And now, it's looking like it may have ended their, and Andy Pettitte's, stay in New York too: "They had the

  may have set the market for Jorge Posada when his option was exercised.  Posada was the game's second-highest paid catcher in 2007, with his $12MM salary behind only Jason Kendall's $13MM.  Posada is coming off a .338/.426/.543 season, so he's going to break the bank.  Some team is probably going to offer $15MM per year over four
