Jorge Posada prefers to stay with the New York Yankees and believes he is "really close" to reaching a new deal with the team.

"My first priority is the Yankees," the five-time All-Star catcher told reporters Sunday at halftime of the New York Knicks' game against the Miami Heat. "I would like to stay with the Yankees. My heart is with the Yankees, so hopefully we can get something done."

The Yankees' exclusive negotiating rights with Posada end on Tuesday, when free agents can talk money with all teams.

"We're working with the Yankees," Posada said. "Right now it's up in the air, but the chances are good."
