I believe he was offered over 4 million by the Yankees and Boras was asking 10 million signing bonus. |

I picked the name, mostly to be funny, the ID wasn't that expensive. I had my chalked ID as a backup and a friend of mines who was older, but didn't look too much like me |

As I mentioned with Darvish, the money doesn't bother me in this case. I could care less what his bonus would be. They can't give every big named pitcher an MLB contract. They'd be tying up too many spots on the 40 man roster for guys who won't immediately be up in the majors and don't have the minor league service time to warrant protecting them from the Rule V Draft. Brackman is a moot point this year in that regard because being on the 60 day DL removed him from tying up a spot on the 40 man, but they can't hand out MLB contracts every year. I bet it was that insistence, not the money, which was the main hangup on the Yankees' end. |

Well, I guess this guy WAS a greedy bitch. I could never have imagined the Yankees not coming close to a young stud's asking price. Boras needs to be abducted by guys in masks and basically tortured for the sh*t he pulls. His life needs a reality check |

From the Post:
It kind of makes you wonder if he just has a controlling father. |

Hmm, it looks like someone wanted to go to college. By letting some guys walk, the Yankees will receive picks and they get this extra pick for failing to sign Cole, so they can still get some sweet picks, even if they sign a big free agent or two. |

You would have thought Cashman would have asked Cole what his feelings were before wasting the first round pick on him......... :wall: |
