I don’t think the Yankees want to give up the prospects required to get him in 2010. They’ll wait and buy him in the off-season.

This is two questions:

Q. Why don’t they keep him for the rest of 2010? A. Because they can get a great haul plus draft picks.

Q. Why won’t they sign him in 2011? A. Because the Yankees will outbid them.

Whoever gets him takes the picks, the M’s get whatever bounty they can.
