1. It is about the money. It always is. If someone were to give you a significant pay raise, you'd seek the opportunity.
2. NY hated his ass until this year. Admit it. Every paper and fan torched him after last year's playoff series. This year, the entire city was sack riding because of his multi-homer games and early season heroics.
Oh i agree its about the money but is he honestly going to get more then the 27+ mil per year that he is getting now? And i agree about NY hating him he did not live up to expectations in some aspects (postseason) (not the only one to choke tho) and fans did not take to lightly to it because he was looked at as a hired gun who was going to guarantee a championship in NY when we traded away soriano for him
