This Feels Dirty

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Red Sox attempted to sign closer Mariano Rivera to a three-year deal. It appears, however, that Rivera will re-sign with the Yankees, agreeing to what multiple reports classify as a two-year deal worth in the neighborhood of $30 million. Heyman also Tweeted that he has heard the Angels and one other team offered the reliever three years.

I don't feel good about this. Same with when people were saying we should offer a contract to Jeter just to piss off the Yankees. It's like going out to lunch with another dude's girlfriend. I don't care if you hate the guy, there's something filthy and gross about it. You know there's not chance they're sign with you. It just makes you look like an asshole/idiot/pussy. You don't ever want to feel like all three of those things at the same time.
