THE PHILLIES ARE BUYING A CHAMPIONSHIP!

I'm really just curious how many media outlets will spin the story that way instead of ol' folksy Cliffers taking "less" money to play where he was comfortable (although the average annual value is higher than the reported offers that the Yankees and Rangers made even if the sixth year isn't guaranteed).

Had the Yankees signed him for the same dollars you can bet there would be another outcry about disparity. But the Phillies? Nope, this is just old friends reuniting!
