Smoltz's Yankees Near-Miss: A Tale of Pay and Pinstripes

John Smoltz, a star pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, was on the brink of joining the New York Yankees in 2001. After recovering from Tommy John surgery, he was offered a four-year, $52 million deal by the Yankees, while the Braves initially proposed a three-year, $21 million contract. Smoltz, who loved Atlanta and was open to a slight pay cut, ultimately signed with the Braves for three years, $30 million, keeping him in the bullpen until 2004 and then transitioning him back to the rotation. The Yankees quickly signed David Wells and Jason Giambi, leaving fans to wonder what could have been if Smoltz had joined the Bronx Bombers.
