In addition, let's make note of the fact that if the Yankees had pulled this off, the only story coming out of the media outlets would be how this is terrible for baseball and only the rich teams (i.e. NY) can sign these big stars. Yet, Boston's move is being hailed as some sort of international handshake between these two countries. Wake up? The 2004 Red Sox team is still the most expensive world champion team to be fielded in history.
As usual DJ, the Yankees are held to a double standard. The Yankees make this deal and as you said, "it just proves what's wrong with baseball." Boston makes the deal, and it's "great for baseball." F*cking hyptocrites! It's just good ol' fashion Yankee hating.
PS - Does this guy have the potential to be a Jose Contreras? Hmmm.....
It's just good ol' fashion Yankee hating.
