Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that the sticking point with Mariano Rivera’s contract is he wants a fourth year added to the $15 million, 3-year deal the Yankees have on the table.

Rivera, who turns 38 on Nov. 29, was angered by Hank Steinbrenner referring to his age.

Alex Rodriguez will be 42 at the end of his proposed 10-year contract with the Yankees which is the same age that Rivera would be at the conclusion of a four-year deal.
