Yes Network's response wasn't very professional.

.. YES Network, in which Sinclair owns an equity stake, issued its own statement about getting dropped by the Google-owned service: “YouTube TV, for its own selfish reasons and with total disregard for its YES customers, has refused to pay the market rate and accept market terms and conditions that other YES distributors have agreed to. In fact, YouTube TV sought a rate that was well below what other YES distributors are paying, and because YES keeps its word to all of its distributors, it could not make the deal.” ...

They probably wanted triple the other RSNs were charging. The NY market is that way I guess. Not a Yankee fan anyway. Ha.
