  • Yankees Decline to Pick Up Lieber's Option for '05

    Jon Lieber's $8 million option was declined Friday by the New York Yankees, and the pitcher filed for free agency.

    Lieber, recovering from elbow ligament replacement surgery in 2003, began spring training as the Yankees' fifth starter and rose to No. 2 by the playoffs. He went 14-8 with a 4.33 ERA in 27 starts during the regular season and was 1-1 with a 3.43 ERA in three starts during the postseason.

    New York, which owes Lieber a $250,000 buyout, has said it wants to re-sign the 33-year-old right-hander, probably to a two- or three-year contract. The team had until Saturday to decide whether to exercise the option.
