Amed Rosario’s Sacrifice: Giving Up $2.5 Million to Follow the Yankees – Revealing the Motivation Behind the Action

In repairing one wire, the Bronx Bombers may have forgotten to see that another one was ready to trigger an explosion.

The thin outfield was a consistent issue for the New York Yankees in the last few years. Finally, Brian Cashm an has solved that puzzle by bringing in a bunch of quality players.

However, that singular focus has led to neglection of another area of improvement – their infield growing weaker. Cashman may have recognized this, but could it be too late to fix the situation?

Amidst reports of injury to their backup shortstop Oswald Peraza, the Yankees are desperately looking for an infielder. Things have been barren till now, but it isn’t because of lack of effort. Reports indicate that the Pinstripes have tried their luck in a bunch of places, but fate has eluded them till now.

That was true recently as well when Amed Rosario rejected their $4 million offer for $1.5 million from the Tampa Bay Rays! That raises a question – is the Yankees’ allure dying?

Amed Rosario’s shocking decision is a symptom of a larger issue

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post – the Yankees had offered $4 million to Rosario, but he found the Tampa Bay Rays’ $1.5 million offer better. The shortstop had quite a straightforward reason for this decision – more playing time in the Rays. Rosario’s agent emphasized this during an interview with the Post.

“Rosario’s representative Ulises Cabrera told The Post that what Tampa Bay could provide was a clearer route to regular at-bats, including at shortstop where Tampa Bay is currently lined up to go with Jose Caballero,” Sherman reported. As a result, the Bombers lost out on a quality backup because of better chances of playing.
