Article by Adam Kilgore in "Baseball Insider" . The complicated

because they will have to full time D.H. Rodriquez soon.  Most of you
probably know this but it is an eye opener to me.  What were the Yanks
thinking??

The Hicks contract was a joke.
The Yankees' extension was ludicrous.

And now CC may opt out, which is how ARod got his 10-year extension.
Keeping CC wil really cost 'em. This is the guy who tabled their
contract offer for 4 weeks, and only decided that he "always wanted to
be a Yankee" after they added another $10 million, IIRC.
