I think it is a big deal for both NY teams. The Yankees have no-one they can count on after CC and Phil Hughes. Aj has been very iffy and then you are stuck with Nova and Mitre…The mets basically just lost the division. Their division rival has 4 top of the rotation aces, who have pitched extremely well in the postseason, sans Lee in the Ws this yr.
Im happy in a way, because it was a wake up call to the Yankees that not everyone can be bought off with money.
