Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?--Boston Herald

What Hank said yesterday about any deal with the Twins is at odds with what the Boston Herald writes today. There was no deal on the table:

• (Boston Herald, Michael Silverman): "The Yankees’ on-again/off-again offer, which senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner yesterday said is still on the table,..."

(From my post yesterday with links): "Fake headline from ESPN this morning. These tools are just tools. They chose a dishonest way to earn a living:

• "Steinbrenner said reports that the Yankees recently withdrew a formal offer to the Twins are not true.

• "There wasn't an official offer anyway. You can't withdraw something that wasn't there," Steinbrenner said. "There was no official offer on the table at this time."

Which was common knowledge and stated as such one post below this from a 1/4/08 NY Times article."

• The Boston Herald characterizes the situation as the Twins considering the Yankees' "offer" among others. There is no offer.
