So it sounds like Betances asked for $5 million and lost his arbitration case and wound up with $3 million. That's a fairly big gap in those things but whatever. But now, Randy Levine made a bunch of really dumb comments today about him trying to alter the landscape and how he "doesn't have the saves" to earn that much?
I guess I'm a little confused. This seems really, really tone deaf.

Levine is a punchable jerk, and it's a reasonable thought that Betances could check out, and pursue free agency when his time comes.
For the Yankees, who as part of their current plans to build their "Super Team", in a year or two they will be looking to have free agents sign with them... and are attacking an agency that represents over 100 players? Not a smart idea...
Honestly, it's becoming not easy to root for a team that wishes for people to excuse Aroldis Chapman's domestic violence, seem aghast at the idea of very wealthy fans possibly sitting with average people... and now this, admonishing a 28 or 29 year old, who has been among the top 5 players at what he does, for wanting a fair contract.
I was really getting excited lately as a Yankees fan, with the LONG LONG overdue youth movement... but I feel like I'm rooting for the bankers.
