Under most circumstances, I don't mind players try to get most out of their career, especially when you consider athletes have short career.<BR/><BR/>Money is always not the most important thing for a lot of Taiwanese. My mother gave up a huge signing bonus from other rival company to stay with her company which she likes a lot. I took much less salary to do the job I like. Doing the job you like or Staying with the environment you enjoy play a big role on many decisions for a lot of Taiwanese.<BR/><BR/>Of course, everyone needs money in order to survive. However, I believe people can enjoy their life without a lot of money.<BR/><BR/>Most Taiwanese know what Wang wants. He wants to pitch until 38 year old and travel around the world with his wife. After that, he wants to help people and teach children playing baseball. Wang really likes to play baseball and play for Yankees. Few weeks ago, Wang revealed he hopes he is able to earn 12 million one day.<BR/><BR/>When Wang signed with Yankees back to 2000, he got higher offers from other teams. In the end, Wang chooses to sign with Yankees because he enjoys watching Clemens pitching.<BR/><BR/>I think you guys are so used to see players coming and going. For me, it's not that easy. Of course, players always can play that free agent game and say it's possibility to sign with any team. But, do you really believe Mo, Posada and Jeter will sign with other teams?<BR/><BR/>One thing about Yankees I know for sure. If that player Yankees want, Yankees pay well or at least above market value. So, If the money is not most important thing for that player, they certainly can choose to accept great deal from Yankees and stay with Yankees.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-46896366308208814082008-12-24T02:53:00.000+11:002008-12-24T02:53:00.000+11:00Its clearly a bad bargaining position to be in onc...Its clearly a bad bargaining position to be in once you state that you'd like to remain in pinstripes. Brian Cashman will then proceed to low ball you. A-Rod, Mariano, Posada, Sabbathia.. they all played it right. Wang should learn how to separate with business dealings. I would never get upset with a player trying to get his market value. Wang is a 15 million dollar pitcher at minimum. I don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
