Yankees to make offer Lee can't refuse?

Yes - it would be surprising.

But - let's worry about that later...

Lee will be a Yankee next season because he want's to pitch in baseball's biggest stage for a team that is always in the championship mix. Of course, he will also be offered a contract no other suitor can compete with.

**** THE YANKEES. This is one time it's not going to go their way. New owners, new tv contract, more money, younger and talented team.

ARROGANT!

Be nice if a player would come out and say "Join the Yankees? I want to BEAT the Yankees!" Good luck, TX.

Shocking.

He can start impressing them by beating them twice in the ALCS

That will drive the price up for sure.

If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.

They did beat him with the Philies, well they beat the Phillies.
Salary cap is for the owners, not parity.
Yanks probably hire him this off season unless the Red Sox decide it would be to their advantage to pay.

This is why baseball needs salary cap. They (whoever they is) think the game is healthy when 5-6 teams have a shot at a free agent like this one. Yes, the NY Yimes is arrogant and the sports talk shows in NY want an all star at every position for the Yankees, They are pretty close to having this if they sign an outfielder and a new, yonger catcher. Luckily for baseball, a player is VERY sucessful getting a hit every 3 times, if it wasn't so hard to hit a baseball, the league standings would be even more skewed.

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence... I can't begrudge the Yankees and their advantage. Especially when there are teams (as revealed in that leak a couple of months ago) who only care about sticking money in their pockets rather than improving their teams.

Take the $$ from the Yanks to be there #2 guy, behind CC or take a little less and be the #1 guy else where...not so sure he will be a Yankee.

100 million? This guy is worth a million per start, like the cast of Seinfeld.

Well at least Tom Hicks is in the rear view mirror. I bet he will be out on I-30 this weekend with a tin cup in his hand. LMAO!
