ALEX IS A YANKEE
Selig gives his blessing, how sweet
"I am very concerned about the large amount of cash consideration involved in the transaction, and the length of time over which the cash is being paid," Selig said.
"I want to make it abundantly clear to all clubs that I will not allow cash transfers of this magnitude to become the norm. However, given the unique circumstances, including the size, length and complexity of Mr. Rodriguez's contract and the quality of the talent moving in both directions, I have decided to approve the transaction."
I would be pissed off over this, because it seems like the Yankees are getting special treatment.
But I'm not.
Hell, this is all just a case of "move along, nothing to see here".
We don't have to worry about the Mariners making a big move that involves the big money. Remember, they don't believe in long term contracts. It's all about "fiscal responsibility".
Well, I may have spoken too soon. Bill Bavasi will give Dickie Thon a 3-year deal, because he is over 40 and brings veteran leadership...
