[Bowden] The #Yankees were in on Montgomery but their offers required heavy deferals of 15-20 plus years which would have made AAV much less than #Diamondbacks offer.

  1. Guess deferrals are only an option if you need long term security to cover your bestie’s gambling debt

  2. When people complain about the Yankees not offering the deferrals, they usually don’t consider that the player has to actually want deferred money.

  3. All to try and work around the league’s mandate to punish teams paying too many players a fair market rate.

  4. Boras is like 90, no chance any of his clients get deferred contracts going forward

  5. I dont blame Cashman on this. Everyone else is doing deferrals, might as well try too.

  6. I’m a little annoyed that he took a one year deal and it wasn’t with the Yankees.

  7. The truth is Monty really didn’t want to come back.
    He said the right things to the media but he wasn’t coming back unless the offer was astronomical, and the Yankees weren’t going down that road.
    That being said, best of luck Monty.
    Go Yankees!

  8. The cohen tax did its job

    Yankees would never offer deferrals if it wasn’t for this

  9. Ohtani’s contract definitely started a new credit card debt option for MLB owners. Contracts for superstars are about to get wild. Look what Bobby Bonilla and the Mets started.
