December 21, 201312 yr Didn't he turn down $140 for 7 from the Yankees? I read somewhere the other day that the Yankees and Choo had actually agreed to 7/$140 but then Boras asked for $143 to make him higher paid than someone and the Yankees said no while turning around and signing Beltran.

December 21, 201312 yr I saw an article, Choos first choice was Texas and he was willing to take less to go there. Also said the deal with Yankees would have to be 7/$147m to be equal to Rangers deal because there is no state income tax in TX.
December 22, 201312 yr No state taxes does bring the value up a little. Ya think?! Texas: No state income taxes. 2013 New York income tax: 13.3% above $1 million. Plus city & county income taxes.

December 22, 201312 yr Ya think?! Texas: No state income taxes. 2013 New York income tax: 13.3% above $1 million. Plus city & county income taxes. That puts $2M+ in his pocket just for state tax difference. About $16.6M over 7 years. So 7/$130 in TX is worth more than 7/$140 in NY.

December 23, 201312 yr Only roughly half his games are in TX, did you factor that in? What does that matter?
