Because he's gone once he's no longer under team control. He wants the big money, the Yanks have it, the Sox wont pay it, and Rivera ain't exactly a spring chicken anymore.
Move him now in a package for a big bat or front of the rotation starter (preferrably a big bat) and either pick up Saito or Wagner's option then continue to groom Bard next season for his eventual takeover of the closer role.
Makes sense to me. Wagner or Saito would be a big help despite their ages. Bard would also make a great closer. He even throws faster than Papelbon. I remember reading his average fastball is like 97 miles per hour. I was like woah.
