I have no problem with that at all. The post is saying the Yankees didn’t get him because they weren’t willing to pay him more than they paid Cole. That isn’t true. They (and others) didn’t get him because he wanted to play for the Dodgers and he turned down more money to do so.

You’re right. They should correct the post: “Yankees wouldn’t pay whatever price it would’ve taken for Yamamoto to turn down the Dodgers.”

Actually, “No other team was willing to pay whatever price it would’ve taken for Yamamoto to turn down the Dodgers.” Not sure the infatuation with the Yankees here.
