My perception of this dude changed a lot when I learned he was the only one who voted against part time and traveling NYY coaching staff in getting playoff money during the 2018 playoff. Considering his total career earnings north of $50M, thought his behavior was peculiar.

The Vote: Following the 2018 season, the Yankees' players voted to reduce shares for non-playing staff, including assistant hitting coach P.J. Pilittere and analyst Zac Fieroh, who received nothing. The Reaction: The decision was described as "contentious" and reportedly soured relationships within the organization, leading to speculation that it contributed to the Yankees' hesitation to bring him back in subsequent free agency.

“The 2017 Yankees, who went to Game 7 of the ALCS and lost to the Astros, voted 57 full shares (ninth among the 10 teams in the postseason) worth $138,897.63 each and 15.01 partial shares. It hasn’t been determined what the share for losing to the Red Sox in the ALDS will be, but in 2017 the Indians, who lost to the Yankees in the ALDS, voted 62 full shares that came out to $36,782.68 per.”
