The only thing we KNOW is that the Yankees have engaged in a much more public campaign than the Red Sox. Frankly, I prefer a private approach. Sure, from a fan's perspective it is frustrating to be shut off from the details, but can you really blame Duquette for wanting to avoid another public bidding war with the Yankees?
