Yankees Ignored Inflation in Rodriguez Dealings

Submitted by Michael E. Lee, Oct 31, 2007 10:45

Even if the Yankees offer to Arod was low, it wasn't such an insult that he couldn't sit down at a table with the front office and discuss the deal further. If he had ANY willingness to stay here, the smart move is to sit down with the Yanks and negotiate. He would have lost nothing by doing this. Instead he opts out as early as possible. Clearly, nothing could have kept him in the Bronx. Good riddance.

The Yanks sought face to face negotiations with ARod, and didn't get them. Presumably anything that was floated could have... [MORE]
