Yea Baby leave it to the Yankees. SPEND SPEND SPEND! Can’t wait till April!
Baseball sucks.
The sport most of us grew up on is a farce of what it used to be.
Steroids.
Fake Records.
Mercenary Free Agent System.
The Cleveland’s, Milwaukee’s, Pitsburgh’s, KansasCity’s etc. can never compete on a consistent basis. They have been made the minor league’s to develop talent for NY, Phil, La etc.
The Yankees are just the final nail in the coffin of a once great sport.
Long live the Yankees.
Baseball is dead.
Note: The most successful sport competitively and financiall is the NFL. Get a salary cap before baseball dies.
They can try to buy a WS but at some point they could have a bunch of guys making $20 plus million a year who are all over 30 years old and some pushing 40. Those guys break down and tie up roster spots. Burnett has a history of injuries, Sabathia is only going to get bigger, if they want Manny then they have to deal with his BS and while Texiera is a star player he hasn’t played in NY where expectations run high.
The Yankees would be a hell of a lot better off by returning to their model in the 90s where they developed great players and filled in some gaps when and where needed.
I don’t have a problem with the money they spend. I’m sure many would like to have that luxury. The issue is that throwing money around doesn’t create a championship team. The last few years have demonstrated that. It doesn’t matter how much talent is on the roster if that talent doesn’t compliment each other.
I’m not a Yankees fan so I’m content watching them do this, but at a certain point you’d think Yankee fans would demand develepment of good players within their system instead of big pay days for star players.
Is this author an idiot?
Before long, the federal government is going to call the NY Yankess and ask for a bail out loan from them to save the USA, since the Yankees seem to have more money than Fort Knox has gold!!!
I have no problem with the Yankees spending. Clearly you cannot buy championships ... and with the starting rotation they had last year, they could use the help.
AJ Burnett’s overrated ... and Sabathia isn’t as good as that contract makes him seem. That being said, I’m glad CC Sabathia’s out of the NL Central.

LeBron James is playing baseball for San Diego?
Stop going to the ballpark. That’s easy because the new stadiums in NY will cost a fortune to attend.
Stop watching baseball on cable or satTV. Call your provider and cancel your local baseball network and don’t buy MLB Pass.
Stop watching baseball on commercial TV. Boycott products on TV that advertise baseball games.
Start grassroots activism will stop tax payer money financing new stadiums without owner contribution.
Support little leagues. Support minor leagues. Support college baseball.
Do these things and you will regain power over this monster.
