Breaking news from ESPN. WOW! I almost expect them to go ahead and splurge for Manny in order to break the new Stadium in with a BANG!

[SumItUp]

So much for parity in baseball.......Of course, the crew at YankSox media (also known as ESPN) are happy to hear this.

amd they still won't make it to the world series because God hates the yankees.

[flamesbball84]

guess what happened last time the yankees got in a bidding war with the red sox for a major free agent? yanks got arod and haven't done anything worth talking since then.

This is a big signing for the Yankees. I am convinced they'll end up with Manny too. They're going to be hard to beat with that lineup if Manny is hitting in the 4 slot behind ARod.

[SuperJon]

They'll get Jeter on, move him over, then ARod will fly out and Manny will have to bail them out.

and they still won't make it to the world series because God hates the yankees.

YES!

[HenryGale]

Well...there's now another player I have to hate.

[Hold My Own]

Smart move by the Yanks...why over spend for a player (Manny) who will produce for 2-3 more years yet your paying him for 4-5 wither he's under contract or not...bring in a young guy in his prime thats putting up as good as numbers as Arod, Manny and others.


As a Sox fan I thought it would be fun to see Manny with the Yanks and Tex with the Sox...but I guess that was wishful thinking.

[Cider Jim]

Lots of crying & gnashing of teeth in Baltimore (Tex is a Maryland native).

[SumItUp]

I just read that even with all of their signings, next year's payroll is actually lower than last years. ***** Obviously, with the commitment in over $400 million dollars in contracts in the last few weeks, they have increased their overall commitment. I thought GM Brian Cashman said he had financial constraints and was under a strict budget.




*****The Yankees still have more than three months to surpass last year's salary totals.

amd they still won't make it to the world series because God hates the yankees.

Yes, He hates them so much He has cursed them with 27 world championships.

I hope they sign Manny and are forced to move Nady and/or Swisher, and one of those two end up on the Braves.

I like the way you think.

[Hold My Own]

There is 0% chance they sign Manny
