Where will Kerry Wood go in 2011?
By
Yankees reliever Kerry Wood doesn’t know where he’s going to pitch in 2011. Although he still has an option for $11 million the Yankees are likely to decline it, but that doesn’t mean the Yankees wont bring him back according to Jason A. Churchill from ESPN.com.
He’s been very useful for the Yankees bullpen since he arrived from the Indians, and the Yankees could probably tender him a multi-year contract. But it’s not expected that the potential deal will be close to the $11 million option.
If he remains with the Yankees, Wood’s skills could take some pressure off a struggling Joba Chamberlain and bring more effectiveness to the Yankees Bullpen. Otherwise, Wood could go to teams that are in search of bullpen help such as the Florida Marlins or Boston Red Sox.
During his time with the Yankees, Wood had an ERA of 0.69 and a record of 2-0 in 26 innings over 24 appearances.
