Give me a break.
I don't get that. I am glad we did not get Crawford. Don't get me wrong I love Crawford but not a 7 year contract. 3 years? AMAZING Contract. 4 years: Still pretty good. By year five he'll be reaching his decline if he doesn't get it even sooner.

I am not glad that we didn't get Lee or Crawford. I am glad that we don't have Crawford for 7 years. Lee would have been excellent to have but we have other options.

And I'm not ready to call it a "Quiet off season" just yet. We just signed Martin. We might just be coming out of the gate slow. Let's see if they really wow someone and trade for a Josh Johnson or something. (Even though we'd get pretty fleeced for him)

Cardinals have the two best defensive catchers in the majors now. Although neither of them can hit.

Give me a break.
The problem is that their front office and the Yankee supporters spit the retarded rhetoric and the fans drink the kool-aid, allowing them to rewrite history to some degree.

I think it was some writer who said that he was glad they found out Lee wasn't going to work out in NY before it was too late. Which is odd, considering the bucketful of cash the Yankees wanted to give him and then the second bucketful with the additional year - then the flying down to his home and begging him to come here.

Clearly, they weren't concerned about it as of last week.

I know, right? Everybody's like "Oh, Cliff Lee shows us that for some athletes, it's really not all about the money".

Dude's making $24 million per year. Since when does making $24 million a year signify not caring about the dough? Yeah, he would've made more money with the Yankees and Rangers, but it's not like he took a 2 year deal worth $10 million to pitch for the A's or anything.

Also, never understood what the difference is between 90 and 120 million dollars is. I mean, is there really something you can do with 120 that you couldn't afford with 90? I feel like Ryan Braun said something to this affect when he signed his contract. Its kinda true IMO.

If Pettitte doesn't come back to the Yankees for the start of next year I would be disappointed if he didn't at least make a Clemens-esque triumphant return around the All-Star Break to save our season, complete with Suzyn Waldman hysteria.

Well Lee was the best option on the free agent market wait a few days they'll get back. And think about this The Yankees beat out Red Sox and Blue Jays for Russel Martin.

And beat out Texas for Mark Prior. Mark Prior was also pursued by the Rangers.

Was listening to Stephen A. Smith this morning (his show's actually not bad) and they were talking about how Cliff Lee's kid has cancer and Philadelphia has a better children's hospital than Dallas and New York. So if that's the reason he took less money, that actually makes a lot of sense.

Kinda Baffled how Matsui is signed for under 5 Million. Guy's numbers and history show he's for real. Kinda surprised my Jays didn't make a bid for him. He'd be a great fit, imo.

Waiting to see who signs Randy Gregg. I believe the Jays get a #1 pick from whomeever inks him to a deal. - LOL

How come this hasn't come out before?

Before anything... That stuff usually comes out. That's obviously more important reason to come to Philadelphia over anything else even the money.

I'm just surprised I haven't heard that before.

Matsui's knees couldn't handle the turf when he occasionally played in Toronto, even just running the bases.

I recall when he was in Philly during the playoff push there was talk of his son and cancer. So it was known.

I heard the stuff about Lee's kid before but everyone I saw write about it assumed the hospital he wanted to be near was in Texas I think. Guess they assumed wrong.

And I guess the contract he took from Philly really wasn't as huge a difference as first thought.

He gets a 5 year $120M deal with a vesting option for a 6th year at $27.5M (or 12.5M buyout).

Yankees offered most guaranteed at $148M. Rangers offered $138M guaranteed with an option that could have brought it to $161M.

Interesting, becasue I've never heard anything about his child with cancer.

I hear it's really easy to get that option for the 6th year. So the contract is basically is guaranteed $147.5 million.
