***PRO Rumors incorrectly published information about Mariano Rivera and a contract offer from the Yankees earlier.  That information was incorrect.  We apologize for the inconvenience.***

According to Yahoo’s Jeff Passan, the Yankees will likely offer closer Mariano Rivera a one-year deal. Rivera is apparently seeking a two-year deal worth around $18 million per year.

Rivera, 41, told friends (via Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman) that he would like to get a two-year deal form the team. The sides have yet to talk terms of a new contract.

When GM Brian Cashman was asked last week if other teams were pursuing free agents Derek Jeter and Rivera, he said, “I hope not. But I’m sure we’ll wind up paying them as if there are.”

The Panamenian hurler was a 3-3 with a 1.80 ERA and 33 saves in 2010 with the Yankees. He made $15 million last season, in the final year of a three-year, $45 million contract.
