Do you have anything specific that makes you think this? It sounds like something you just decided was true with nothing to back it up. Pretty much just that when the Yankees sign someone, the rumored reports from other teams aren't even close. You hear about a few teams involved, with pretty similar offers, and then the Yankess sign the player 20 million more than reports. Look at AJ this past offseason. But yeah, I might be looking to much into it. Just a gut feeling with something that makes sense in my mind. I don't remember ever seeing a number that the Braves offered to AJ, though I could have easily missed it. I admit, I didn't really follow the AJ signing that closely.
