Bernie Say Bye?
Bernie Williams won't accept a minor league deal from the Yankees:
Williams, speaking with reporters before a concert in Connecticut, said he would prefer to stay at home, stay in shape, and wait for a guaranteed offer from the team rather than attend spring training and attempt to play himself onto the roster.
"I think if they wanted me, they would have signed me already," Williams said, according to the Times. "The option to go to spring training and see what happened -- I don't think at this moment it is something I want to consider."
It looks like the end of his career with the Yankees. We'll see if it's the end of his career in general.

Other than retirement and signing elsewhere, what are Bernie's options. Could he stay in shape and sign with the Yankess at some point if one of their outfielders gets hurt or both of their right-handed hitting first basemen don't work out?
