So let me get this straight just because the yankees are however many games over ..500 they shouldnt want to improve their team? They are giving up a catching prospect who will never play for them, a second base prospect who will never play for them and a pitching propsect who will never pitch for them for one of the best pitchers in baseball that is only owed 4 million by the way the rest of the year and if they dont resign him they get type A status 2 first round picks. Has nothing to do with having the most money its 4 million boys, has to do with the yankees not letting a team like the rays swoop in and get him and have the best shot at beating them. It's called smart business. So all the haters can cry me a river but the Yanks are making a move to win and in case you guys missed it you still have to win it on the field. It's baseball. They arent guaranteed to win anything. Kudos to the yanks for having the minor league system to make this kind of deal because people do their jobs and draft good talent. Any team that is in this (mets, phils, etc) obviously dont have the minor league talent to get this deal done. So guys like Memphis Monroe and NYMets609 go the restroom and get your tissues because until baseball completely shuts it down and gets it right this is gonna be common for all big market teams. If you dont like it then dont watch it. Life is about choices.
