Yanks Made $8.5 Million Offer To Hechevarria

Yesterday, it was reported that Cuban shortstop Adeinis Hechevarria was ready to sign a $10 million deal with the Blue Jays. It was said in the article that one of the main reasons he stayed away from the Yankees was because they have a certain future Hall of Famer manning the his position. But as we learned today from Jon Heyman, money was also a factor.
