Late last night former Yankee closer David Robertson accepted a four-year $46 million dollar deal with the Chicago White Sox which was first reported by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. The deal signifies the end of the homegrown relievers seven-year career in pinstripes. The rumors had been flying around from the minute Robertson declined the Yankees $15.3 million dollar qualifying offer whether or not the Yankees would attempt to retain his services. It seems that the Yankees made somewhat of a half-hearted attempt to resign Drob, but in the end it always comes down to money. Robertson's team was said to be looking for a four-year $50 million dollar deal from New York, and the Yankees had no real plans to go that high. The most the Yankees were willing to offer Robertson was four-years $40 million, and that offer is even being disputed by the YES Network's
