Sliding into Home, one of the better Yankees Blogs around:
11-24-2010: The Yankees were winning the PR war, and it was looking good, Brian Cashman is a genius, he handles players excellently when it comes to negotiations. Then this guy opened his mouth:
Hank Steinbrenner told the Assoicated Press:
"As much as we want to keep everybody, we've already made these guys very, very rich, and I don't feel we owe anybody anything monetarily," the Yankees co-chairman said Tuesday. "Some of these players are wealthier than their bosses."
Hank, for the love of God, don't talk about riches and wealth to a player that's given his all for all these years, offer 3 years and $45 million and then on the other end offer a Cliff Lee, 6 year $140 million contract. You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Hal, get this guy sedated, quick. He's blowing it.
11-23-2010: Brian Cashman made the following statement to the Newark Star Ledger:
"He should be nothing but a New York Yankee, He chooses not to be."
Cashman tells the Star Ledger that he doubts Jeter truly wants to remain in the Bronx. Hard Ball like I've never seen it before. Your turn Jeet, Your turn.
