Did Roberts want out of Baltimore?

[Br10n]

Has he passed the physical?

Has he passed the physical?

No.

He failed the physical, and the Steinbrenners nixed his new contract.

Roberts will subsequently go back to Maryland, sign with the Orioles, and Cindy will wake up to find out that his signing with the Yankees was just a bad dream.

Nick and Brian will be teammates in New York next year.

If Roberts wanted out of Baltimore prior to extending, then he shouldn't have extended.

Nah, Petey won't let his fellow greek leave town. Thats why he's penny pinching this winter. To allow the team to take on Nicks 17m and still be around 90m next year.

As if reality were that cut and dry.

He signed a very lucrative deal, better then he would have received on the open market.

@scOtt: He got one thing right, but it wasn't this.

I thought you were going to say something else and was about to scream!

Still can't find a press conference or Roberts in a Yankees jersey anywhere. Why is he hiding? Because deep down he knows what he did was dirty.

Maybe just maybe he couldn't care less what you as an Oriole fan thinks. I know that would say a lot, but then, who cares? He plays, we don't, he makes millions, we don't, his team might contend, ours might or really might not.

Power balance does not go your/our way. So let it go.

Then why hasn't he done a press conference? ALL the other signed Yankees have photos of them showing off. But not Roberts. I guess to you that is normal?

His signing is not listed on the Transactions page of the Yankees' website. Maybe it hasn't happened yet.

What is the hold up? I thought all reports stated he was signed.

Perhaps he was upset when he realized that the contract called for him to pay the Yankees $2 million. Or, maybe he and his family were away on vacation and he hasn't taken his physical yet.
