David Robertson’s contract proves why Yankees chickened out before rest of finalists

The New York Yankees need relief help tomorrow. They needed it yesterday. They needed it a week ago, and they'll need it a week from now. That means that, as sad as it is to think about, a reunion with David Robertson didn't make as much sense as we wished it did ... especially at the price point he commanded after his recent showcase in Rhode Island (for some reason).

Despite the showcase being a Red Sox home game, Dave Dombrowski outfoxed Craig Breslow and signed Robertson, who spurned Boston as a free agent for what feels like the hundredth time.
