Actually, I don't think that's what I read. I didn't understand the Schilling trade based on what I read about what Arizona wanted from us (before the actual trade) and what they ended up with. There was no one story on the Yankees getting screwed (other than after the Sauerbeck move and that was all over Baseball Tonight).
I think you're assuming I read a piece in the Post that said, "Yankees screwed again." When actuality, the headline of one of the articles in the Daily News I read today says, "Bombers Whiff" (no joke).
And I don't think it happens all the time. But I do think that the Yankees pay above market for plenty of their players -- homegrown or free agents.
