    I'm assuming that jab was directed at me, Another Brother.

    I'm saving my excitement until I can read what they agreed to. If the contract doesn't impede the Yankees and their $170mm payroll to win 4 more world series in 6 years, then I'm not going to be jumping for joy.

    Exactly...just because a deal was done doesnt mean a right or good deal was made. Well just have to wait and see I guess.

    Small victory today? Maybe in your assessment, but for regular guys like me that would have missed Milo, wondered if Roy O could reach 20 or even clung to slim playoff hopes, I am elated.

    In lieu of the Yankees payroll, some may call it a stay of execution, I call it a great day!

    I'm headed to Hooter's Jorge, want something?:D

    Sadly, I think this agreement sucks pretty bad.

    Revenue sharing next year would be in the $180MM range, which is pretty similar to what they have now.

    Luxury Tax only affects the Yankees next year.

    What a waste.
