What exactly are the Dodgers doing this off season? They let Steve Finley walk, Jose Lima walked too. Now they had a chancge to get 2 first rate prospects and a CY Young candidate in Vazquez (he is much better in the NL than the AL)....
I think Dodger fans are in for a looonnnggg season....
By hook or by crook the Big Unit WILL be playing in the Apple.
And how about this??:
New York finalized 2B Tony Womack's $4 million, two-year contract.
Holy firesale Batman, good for the Dodgers.
The Big Un-It.
"The Dodgers reneged on the deal that was agreed to last Friday, unequivocally and with no contingencies except for a window for contract extensions and physicals," Yankees president Randy Levine said.
Then this....
Newsday reported on its Web site Tuesday night that Vazquez did not want to play for the Dodgers and refused to travel to Los Angeles for a physical. The paper, citing a source involved in the discussions, cited that as the "primary reason" for the deal's collapse.
And the Yankees have the gall to say this?......
Why they would break their word is only something they can answer. It sure is disappointing, and we'll have to think long and hard before ever doing business with the Dodgers again."
The Yankees don't wear losing well.
