According to sources at ESPN, the Yankees have officially offered Cliff Lee a seven year contract. The Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan responds saying” it's hard to predict the negotiations but if that offer is real it will make it more challenging for the Rangers to sign Lee”
We have to be concerned about that because seven years for any contract is really stretching it out," he said. "And I don't know how you predict how anyone is performing six or seven years from now."
Ryan didn't say that seven years exceeded the Rangers' limit, but he did
say: "Everything has a ceiling that they have to understand what it is.
And it doesn't make economic sense after a certain threshold."
