Agreed, I'm just confused why the Yankees wouldn't pay the $5 million to maximize their return. Because relievers are already the most valuable commodity known to man.
I don't understand the urgency. The Cubs are set to be very good for a long long time. It's not like this is the year and next year we're back to mediocre.
I'm surprised no one commented on the bat flip and casual trot around the bases since we all know Wainwright and company would have completely lost their horsefeathers if someone had done it to them.
