The friggin audacity of these bastards to ask the NYC taxpayers for another $450,000,000 for their new stadium and they offer this fat slob of an athlete $160,000,000...makes no sense. 
And they wonder why long time season ticket holders like myself canceled our seats!  |
Fat Wells pitched forever. And pretty well. He's fat but a good athlete. It makes perfect sense. Sabathia was the best pitcher on the market and they could outspend everyone for him. Pretty simple. So CC hasn't been pitching in heat and humidity at 290 his whole career?? It's a bad signing like all signings for this amount. We'll know soon enough just how bad it was. I can't imagine they'll get 7 years like he's pitched his last 3 obviously...my feeling is he'll be gone in 3 years regardless. HE clearly didn't want to go there, but the mafia nature of the Yankees made it impossible for him not to sign there...the old "offer he can't refuse." He wouldn't sign without the opt out clause at the 3 year mark. $160 mill and he still wants a chance to get out...I think that speaks as to how much he really didn't want to go there.
