    I don't doubt that... and wasn't saying you were wrong... I am saying that the Cubs are just doing that knowing who they really want...

    At the end of the day I don't see him walking away from a Yankee contract to go manage the Cubs.

    If he is hemming and hawing this much over it... might be time to go in a new direction... this should be a position that people WANT... not something to debate... If the reports are true and he's being offered $12M over 3 years, that is a 33% raise... if it is the other number reported ($15M), it's a 67% raise... Either take the money and run or run... it shouldn't be as hard a decision as he's making it out to be...

    If it's about the money, Cubs already said they would pay more, so logically that means the Cubs...

    If it's about your place in baseball history, IF he wins another with NY, he'd be tied for 5th on most WS championships with the team... McCarthy has 7 ('32, '36, '37, '38, '39, '41, & '43), Stengel has 7 ('49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '56, & '58), Torre has 4 ('96, '98, '99, & 2000), Huggins has 3 ('23, '27, & '28), and Houk has 2 ('61 & '62). Right now he's just another manager for the Yankees who has won a WS... Cubs haven't won since 1908... He would be a god there if he won... up there with Jordan and above Ditka...

    The only possibly way I see him staying as manager of the Yankees is if he is as much a family man as it is claimed he is.... if he is that, he probably wouldn't want to uproot his family, especially kids who are in school... But perhaps he might feel that money will ease that pain...

    ...he's still got 3 weeks before his contract expires. If he still has not said yes to the Yanx by the 31st, I'm guessing he probably won't be back. But at this point, I would not rush him or give him an ultimatum.
