That's what is a bit puzzling. Nobody can match the dollars the Yankees have to play with since any extension to his contract would include about $21 million from Texas. So if money is the key, he would stay in NY, and work a deal within the next ten days. Until he formally files to opt out, the Yankees are in a position to offer the moon if they want him as much as Hank says they do.
