"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Rafael Soriano is seeking a four-year, $60 million deal. (Elsa, Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rafael Soriano made headlines today when he opted out of the final year of his contract with the New York Yankees - one that was due to pay him $14 million over the course of the 2013 season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports on one of the likely reasons - Soriano's agent Scott Boras believes the reliever can fetch a four-year contract worth $60 million on the free agent market.\nThe Yankees are unlikely to match any offer in that range, instead preferring to offer Soriano a two year deal with Mariano Rivera rumored to be mulling retirement.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
