The Yankees Offered Chapman Big Money. Not?
Wow... Even more impressive that the Reds were able to sign him.
Note: This may all be a big fat lie that came about as the result of a lawsuit. Either way, we're fairly sure that Jim Tressel wasn't aware of it.
Ed: Yanks GM Brian Cashman confirms the big fatness of this lie. "We never made an offer... Never."

Androidis really liked the Red's Latin connected players and former players
He also like that Dusty speaks fairly fluent Spanish
And when he heard that Brendanukah was the funniest RR (even surpassing at time the fabled Fat Vegas Alan)
he signed immediately…(sources say he would have signed for less if Clownboy and sMarty would have agreed to retire.)

What can I say? It's passed down from generation to generation in my family.
Along with an antique vase and a propensity for hypertension.
Truth is, I'm in Yankee rehab.
I’m still pumping a little bit of mid-90’s Columbus Clipper blood through my system. But Pettitie has retired and that pretty much just leaves Jeter, Posada and Rivera tugging at my heart from my Cooper Stadium AstroTurf memories.
It’ll just take two or three more years and then I’ll be over it. Completely clean.
It helps that Hank Steinbrenner is such an ass.
I’ll say it again: “Hank Steinbrenner is an ass.”

Yankees blog MLBTR got the story from has some fun comments
Couple commenters think he’d get 8/$100M on the FA market today. In a word, no.
Others think the lawsuit somehow tied to this would allow Chapman to opt out of his contract and sign with them….stupid yankee fans.
What's so great about this is that last year at this time
everyone (notably Yanks fans) were laughing about how the Reds overpaid and how he’s going to be a bust and it was stupid to offer so much money, etc.
"Penus, stale beer, and day old hot dogs. Love it"--justin007000
Been trying to find info on the lawsuit in question
best I could find was here. Looks like Chapman is somehow tied to this mess.
I remember seeing that
It’s not surprising to see agents battling each other over clients, and that spilling into litigation. The Yankees’ suit sounds like something completely different because it’s a team suing an agent.

Its not true
The guy suing is inflating the number to try to get more money in the suit
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
@btcoop71
I agree
there is no way Chapman turned down that kind of money.

Looking more and more like it's crap.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
I don't understand this
The Yankees are suing Chapman’s agents? I don’t see how they can establish standing. If Chapman was suing his agents because they didn’t pass on an offer from NYY, he’s suffered an injury recognized by the law. The Yankees have suffered no such injury.
I’m curious to see more than a tweet on this. If the Yankees sued, there should be a publicly available court filing.
Same here.
I mean, the only thing I can think of is if this was an oral promise to inform Chapman and the Yankees relied on it in conveying information to Chapman.
This is an exceptionally tenuous argument. However, their endgame probably isn’t the money judgment; it’s probably making the agents look bad to other teams and players by insinuating they cannot be trusted with offers.
This answered my question
It looks like the former agent is suing the current one. But it really doesn’t sound that different from the suit linked by pack fan. If both essentially involve the Hendricks “stealing” Chapman, everything should’ve been heard before one court.

Danny Dorn rf
Zack Cozart ss
Chad Reineke p
He also has an interview with Sappelt.
It left me less enthused about him than I was. He played winter ball, so he may be a bit ahead of the other players in the hitting department. And he’s a pretty awful baserunner. His plan for improving is to be less cautious and less afraid to run. Dunno if that’s going to work.
