Rafael Soriano Expected To Opt Out Of $14M 2013 Deal With Yankees

Rafael Soriano is expected to opt out of his contract with the New York Yankees for the 2013 season.

Soriano is due $14 million in 2013, but opting out would allow him to pursue a multi-year deal.

Soriano is said to have a good relationship with the Yankees and the two sides could agree on a new deal.

Soriano became the Yankees' closer after Mariano Rivera suffered a season-ending knee injury.
