WFAN's Sweeny Murti reports that Kevin Youkilis is taking this weekend to make a decision between signing with the Yankees or Indians.
The Yankees have offered Youkilis a one-year, $12 million deal, while the Indians have extended a two-year, $18 million pact. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported Saturday that Youkilis was leaning towards the Yankees' offer, but Murti indicates that the Indians may be the favorites, saying the pull of manager Terry Francona and Cleveland being close to his home could outweigh the bigger average annual value from the Yankees.
