Clippard, Storen and Soriano? Pretty nice, and the Tigers didn't sign him!

Funny wasn't that the same amount the Yanks were going to pay him?

If the Yankees were going to pay him the same amount, I'd say he made the right choice. Just by looking at the current rosters, I'd say the Nationals have a better chance of making it to the 2013 W S than the Yankees. With the addition of Soriano the "Nats" will have a very strong bullpen.
