The Giants were gullible enough to believe Zito was worth $126, why couldn't Boras continue to take them for every penny they have? The Angels seem to have no problem paying out that kind of money though, so who knows.

Are the Yankees really that serious about not wanting him back if "he doesn't want to be a Yankee"? Or is this all just talk to control negotiations and to build up or knock down the money he will be paid? I can't imagine even the Yankees not wanting him back. He is the best player in baseball.
