According to his agent, Scott Boras, “Right now [Ellsbury’s] pretty excited. Talked to him yesterday. He feels he’s going to be a major part of what they’re doing,” Boras said. “I think there’s going to be a competition in New York. They have a lot of diamonds in their jewelry store, no question about it. It’s going to be a very healthy environment and Jacoby has done a lot of big things in a lot of big situations in a lot of big cities, so competition does not in any way do anything but exhilarate him.”
Well of course he's excited. He's got a no-trade clause and unless the Yanks REALLY wanna make it worth his while, he'll have great seats to watch the Bombers play this year.
Who wouldn't be excited?
