Yankees upset at Mariners’ tactics in Lee deal
The Yankees weren’t pleased with the Mariners’ last-minute decision to back away from what was believed to be an agreement to deal Lee to New York on Friday, according to the New York Post.
"The Yankees do not do business that way," a Yankees official told the newspaper. "When we say something is a deal, it is a deal. Yes, this is frustrating and disappointing."
The New York Post reported the Yankees believed they had a deal in place to acquire Lee on Thursday night. All that remained were the physical reports on Yankees prospects Jesus Montero(notes), David Adams and Zach McAllister, all of whom would have been shipped to Seattle for Lee. When the Mariners expressed concern about Adams’ injured ankle, however, the problems began. Seattle began to ask for different prospects, New York balked, and Seattle went back to Texas, which agreed to include Justin Smoak(notes) in a deal for Lee.
"I don’t think 30 general managers would agree that what the Mariners did was real ethical," another Yankees official told the New York Post.
And a rival general manager echoed those sentiments. "It’s disappointing to hear that Jack (Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik) shopped that around, that’s not right," an executive from a team not directly involved in the Lee trade told the New York Post. "You don’t do that with any team, and you don’t do it with the Yankees, because (GM Brian) Cashman will drop you in a heartbeat. You don’t use the Yankees because they never forget."

lol yankees
Obviously, the Yankees are en led to whatever they want and when they don't get it, they have every right to be ridiculously butt-hurt that they were deprived of still another all-star.
lol
Pussy ass Yankees...
boo ing hoo. glad the yanks didn't get him
Would love to see the rest of the GMs band together and not deal anyone to the stupid yankees ever again...ever
It's silly to be happy the Yankees didn't get him now, as had they, they'd be a top-prospect shorter going forward, as they are easily the favorite to overpay for his services this summer. Texas isn't re-signing him.
So, while it sucks for the Yanks they don't have him this season, they keep their top-10 overall prospect and likely sign him next year.
I bet texas resigns him
why does it suck?
there is suppose to be a sallary cap to try to keep the field level
if they got lee they have bird rights to sign him to any amout
I do not know about the cap in baseball
but how with their large payroll and having to pay taxes 24 million each year
how they would be able to sign lee?
wow
yeah it's gonna be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy tough for the yankees to sign Cliff Lee because we all know about that MLB salary cap and the "Bird Rights" assigned to baseball players.
Oh, man. Thanks for making me laugh this early in the morning!
ducks always delivers the goods.
Bird Fidrych rights, tbh
ing dumbass
