Screw Clemens. I always knew he was motivated completely by the bottom line. He said he wanted to go closer to home and he he wanted to go to a winner, so he went to Toronto, a worse team than Boston and further from Texas. He welched on his contract in Toronto with the excuse that he wanted to play for a winner. The truth was that Toronto was not willing to extend and renegotiate his contract up to $15 million/year. Steinbrenner got word to Clemens that he would meet the price, so he was traded for Wells who won 19 or 20 for the Jays (Clemens won 13-14 for the Yankees). When he was with the Yankees, he cashed a $10 million check that was an advance on 2004. Of course, with the $10 million in hand, he took every retirement gift handed to him and then signed in Houston to become the highest paid pitcher in the game at $17.5 million/year. Then he started playing partial years at a prorated salary that was the highest for any pitcher in the game. All of a sudden being close to home doesn't matter, so he goes to the Yankees who bid against themselves to get him. We offered $18 million. They offered $22 million at first, but felt compelled to increase the offer to $28 million. I would have rooted for him in the Boston uni even with full knowledge that he is a complete whore. Good riddance to him and I really don't care which hat he wears on his HOF plaque, because that will also be for sale.
