Betances doesn't regret anything he said about Yankees president

After being able to sleep on it, Dellin Betances isn't backing down from his comments about New York Yankees president Randy Levine.

Thanks to a vitriolic arbitration hearing between the reliever's camp and the Yankees' front office, both sides engaged in a war of words Saturday after arbitrators ruled in favor of the club, awarding Betances a $3-million salary rather than the $5 million he had asked for.

But Betances, who later called the process "unfair" and that the club spent the majority of the hearing trashing him, stands by what he said.

"I'm in a good mindset as far as myself. No one has more confidence in me than myself," Betances said Sunday at Steinbrenner Field, according to the New York Daily News' Mike Mazzeo. "I feel good in that area. I don't regret anything I said yesterday. I just had to get it off my chest. I did, and like I said I’m just trying to put it behind me."

Levine pulled out all the stops in order to have arbitrators rule in his club's favor during the hearings. After labeling Betances' $5-million salary request as "half-baked," the Yankees president went further, including blaming the reliever for lagging ticket sales and the team's lack of playoff success.

With everything said, Betances doesn't expect the executive's harsh words will subside in his mind so quickly.

"It's not as easy. I’m not going to get over it as easy," he told Mazzeo. "I'm not going to sit here and say today is a different day for me, but I was just glad I was able to come out here and get some work done.

"That kind of takes some of the stress off your mind and puts you at ease."
