And the Yankee propaganda machine wants to tell you they won?

That Brian Cashman treated Scott Boras like he was Andre the Giant and he was Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania III?

Give me a break!

That's not what happened.

Am I glad Cody's back?

Absolutely I am, especially after Tucker and Bichette fell off the board.

But don't for one second think the Yankees got one over here on Scott Boris.

It didn't happen.

Because, first of all, this thing took out into the middle of friggin' January to finally reach a conclusion when this offer supposedly has been on the table for weeks, if not months here.

So he made the Yankees sweat this out, which is a win for Scott Boris.

And he got more money on the end here.

He got more.

Yeah, it's another $500,000 a year.

It's more money than the Yankees weren't willing to offer.

It's more money than the Yankees said, we're not bidding against ourselves.

Then why'd you add $2.5 million to the deal?

You can't say we're not bidding against ourselves and then add $2.5 million to the deal.

as a good faith gesture to get the deal done.

Come on.

How Steinbrenner holds on to money like he holds on to his balls, and you mean they willingly gave Cody $2.5 million more just to get it done?
