    - the salary must exceed. there easily could be a fee paid to the headhunter you have to factor in. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 4, 13:28 6
      - The company pays the headhunter in every situation I've ever heard of. -- nm - David Dec 4, 13:30 5
        
        yes and it's usually a percentage of the job's first year pay -- nm - rollo Dec 4, 13:31 4
        
        So the headhunter would be more willing to get them to play ball with a higher salary -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 4, 13:33 2
        
        The headhunter usually doesn't get involved in salary negotiations -- nm - rollo Dec 4, 13:38 1

    - FWIW, a lot of people I trust thought he was going to the Yankees. Since they only offered five years, I'm not sure they really wanted him. -- nm - David Dec 4, 13:13 4
      - It really is amazing though. It really is about the money with these guys. I would never end up as a National, if the Yanks or any true big market - Jovian Dec 4, 13:20 3
        
        He got paid $40mil extra than what the Yankees were offering. - Will Hunting Dec 4, 13:55
        
        Why is that? -- nm - samara Dec 4, 13:24 1
