Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 2884003, member: 2839"] I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. The Sox were ALWAYS second son. They would put up a competitive offer for someone, and the Yankees would always come over the top and usually not by only a little. Hey, It was what it was. I personally was never against the Yankees spending money. I wanted the Sox to do it, but smartly. What I hated was on whom, when, and why. It seemed like any player the Sox wanted or even kicked the tires on, the Yankees got. That's what made 2004 that much sweeter. MLB nixes an all but done deal to restructure A-Rod's salary with Super Agent Scott Boras, and Texas accepts a (What I thought at the time was) an inferior offer from the Yankees, merely because they could absorb his salary.
