"According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post Yankees executives say "there is almost zero chance that Hideki Matsui will be re-signed after the season." Even a strong finish this season wouldn't figure to be enough for the Yankees to bring Matsui back, because they want more roster flexibility. Players like Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez could all benefit from DHing at times, but that's difficult if Matsui can't play in the field regularly. Matsui has said he would like to remain a Yankee and he gives the team a presence in the Japanese market (Sportsline)."
Well this should come as no shocker. Matsui is a decent bat, but he is getting old and seem to be extremely injury prone. The Yankees need to get younger in their lineup, and Matsui just takes away too much flexibility from their lineup. It is really funny yo read this, since some clown in my fantasy baseball league traded Carl Crawford for this ass clown.
