Alyson Footer has an excellent recap of the last 72 hours. It's well worth a full read, but here are some interesting notes to pull:
*Berkman would have approved a trade to Texas and St. Louis, and "would have thought about" Tampa Bay and San Diego. He turned down the Angels and White Sox.
*Footer:
But he's leaving here and heading to a great team, to play in a packed ballpark every night, where every game matters. And the Yankees win. A lot. And once he gets a taste of winning again, I sincerely doubt he'll long to be back here when it's over.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
