OK, so I guess getting a discount from a player whose better option was from the Washington Nationals isn't a big deal. Who the hell wants to play on the Nationals anyway? But it's still good to hear.Anyway, just one more note on Mark Teixeira: I've heard from a reliable source that the first baseman turned down about $5 million more from the Nationals to sign with the Yankees. And the Nats would have gone higher, but were never given the chance. Teixeira jumped at Brian Cashman's first offer.
The Yankees made a big mistake a few years ago when Carlos Beltran came to then and would have signed for about $20 million less than the Mets were offering him and they decided not to sign him. Luckily for the Yanks they didn't make the same mistake twice.
