So many haters in these comments. This man worked his tail off to be the best at what he does. He deserves to be paid and he deserves to play wherever he wants. I love it when an athlete goes out and earns their pay by becoming the best at their craft. More power to them. I'd do it to if I were them.

I think this was the first time he wore a Yankee jersey remember he was a Yankee fan as a kid

Thats why i respected bagwell and biggio so many times they were offered more money to play some where else

Don’t get why they signed him for so much when he’s only had 2 seasons where he’s worth that much and it’s only downhill especially when he doesn’t have the Astros pitching coaches to help him

An Astro fan really hurt by this, became a great friend to me, a Yankee fan! Go figure! World Traveler, Thank You!
