And fascinating as his courtship would be in normal circumstances, the prospect of the best player available signing one of the most piddling contracts makes it unlike any free agency sports has seen: One where it literally isn’t about the money.
This whole situation really is fascinating and I am really enjoying following it. The Yankees seem like they have a real shot at this guy and I would be thrilled if they were able to get him. I just really hope he doesn't come over here and flame out.
