Good For Cashman
From Tommy V at S.I. -
The White Sox nearly wound up with Carlos Delgado instead of Jim Thome. When Cashman inquired about Chicago center fielder Aaron Rowand soon after the World Series, White Sox GM Kenny Williams told him he didn't think the Yankees were a good fit for a trade -- unless they obtained Delgado from Florida. Cashman worked out the parameters of a deal with the Marlins, but the three-way deal fell through when the White Sox then insisted the Yankees pick up a large chunk of Delgado's contract.
Hey, it's one thing to agree to pick up the bar of soap. But, it's a whole 'nother thing to agree to, well, you know.......
At least Cashman tried to get Rowand. But, then, to pay a guy to play for the White Sox too? If the Windy City is a big enough market to support two teams, then there's no way they should be asking for Yankees hand-outs too.
