Yankees president Randy Levine blasts Dellin Betances' agent over arbitration case

The New York Yankees and their setup man, Dellin Betances, engaged in a verbal feud Saturday as a result of their arbitration hearing, which resulted in the winning side, the Yankees, led by team president Randy Levine, severely criticizing Betances' agent for what Levine thought was an exorbitant salary request. On Saturday morning, an arbitrator decided in the Yankees' favor, awarding Betances $3 million for 2017 instead of the $5 million he sought. Betances, 28, has been an All-Star in each of his first three seasons.
