Too bad that Beltran rejedted The Yankees offer,But He could've been a great fit for The Yankees in the Outfield.The only reason Beltran joined The Mets was because of Minaya,and Minaya likes to sign all of The Hispanic players in all of Baseball.

f*ck Minaya!

King, clean the sh!t out of your eyes.
The Yanks never made an offer, so the Muts were his only choice.
He could have stayed in Houston for less, but took the best offer.
Good move by the Muts, if they can get a bullpen maybe we can see a subway series next year.

He went where the money was. They all do. Boras' clients take the top offer no matter where it is from.

Like I said along, he would be a Yankee ( the only problem is the Yanks didn't want to pay for him, even at a discount)

LT, none of that is true.

Boras tried to get the Yankes involved to drive up the price, not to sign a deal.

If that were true, he would've waited for the Yankees to wake up sunday morning.

Believe it if you want but its out of context

Beltran went where the most money was. Period. If the Yankees offered more than the Muets he would have went there.

It appears that Beltran wanted to come to the Yanks for less, but they just weren't interested.

Because it was still alot of money.

The NY Post said this:

Quote:
 
Early Saturday evening, agent Scott Boras reached out to Yankee officials and said his client preferred their team and would accept a contract for $16.6 million a season over six years, a total of $99.6 million, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. The Yanks, as they had throughout this process, told Boras their payroll simply could not afford another expensive, long-term deal. The Yanks noted that under the current collective bargaining agreement, they would pay approximately $40 million extra in taxes on top of Beltran's contract, and the organization simply did not want to do that, even if given a chance to pay roughly $19 million less than the Mets for Beltran. The Yankees, in fact, never made an offer.


Bottom line, the Yanks are already spending about as much as they take in. Beltran might have been nice, but not worth taking a loss. He just wasn't necessary.

It doesn't matter whether Beltran wanted to be here or not. The fact remains we don't have him and will have to watch Bernie and his atrocius defense for another year.

Looks like the Yanks have FINALLY reached a spending limit.

This once again shows that "most" cats would want to sport those pinstripes, even for less money. :agent:

Anyway, I'm glad George didn't go mad and put up another big contract. It's a shame, Beltran is probably going to be a nice player for many years to come, but big contracts like Giambi and Pool boy f*ck up our ability to take on more big contracts. Bottom line is this, we didn't need him. All we need in CF is defense, not a big bat and that can wait for Pierre if it has to. Anyway, still SHOCKED George didn't ante up, especially with the discount, but it was indeed the right thing to do.
