I truly hope that when Robbie signed with Jay-Z, he went from all about the Yankees to all about the money. He fired Boras for not even considering opening the door for the Yanks to negotiate in spring training. Now, to end up like this? I love you Robbie but not like this.

David Price
Cano
Girardi

Quote me now, two of those three end up in Chicago next season.

This will be the first free agent star to leave the Yankees willingly.

With the White Sox?

Girardi can't come to Chicago, I think they like Sveun just fine.
No way on Cano, but I guess I could see Theo spending on Price. I still think it's a year early to spend, but I could be wrong. I'm hoping our entire Triple A club comes up for 2015 and we let them go. Maybe even Sept 2014 to get their feet wet.
 
We all know how baseball is but I have to ask this question......Is Mariano Rivera the first unanimous hall of famer?? it's probably going to be somebody to not vote on purpose because a voter will say I knew everyone else will vote for him. and they wanted to keep a tradition of not letting anyone in 100% shout out to the unwritten rules of baseball thread. but after cal ripken jr, nolan ryan and rickey henderson didn't get in 100% i don't think anyone ever will....
 
I'm starting to think they said that outrageous price only for shock value...


Like they know he's not gonna get paid that amount but I think they wanted teams to know that he wants a big contract...

I don't know why people are up in arms. An employee can ask for anything...the shock value is when an employer gives it

100% on point.

I run into a lot of older folks (retired variety) who tell me they don't watch pro sports anymore because of the money these guys get for playing a sport.

First I think it's a cop out because they really don't care to watch, but mostly, I get upset because it's not the players' fault. These leagues/teams are their own entities and can pay whatever they want to within their own realm of business. Whatever though.
