Yankees Sign Tex

the rich get rich/the poor get poorer.

the problem with MLB

I agree with the last part for sure! MLB has issues with this and before anyone tells me that the Rays made it further than the Yankees answer this question: is it easier to be the Yankees/Red Sox or the Royals/Rays?
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Says the guy who's team couldn't close the deal.

I love how ESPN has been off on every one of the Yankees signing this off season. Peter Gammons looks like he is about to be sick when the Yankees sign another All-Star. He's starting to see another 100 year streak for the Red Sox.
 
I was hoping my Red Sox would sign him. I think the Yankee's are trying to set the record for most money spent in the off season. Sabathia, Tex, Burnett and yet they will not win the World Series next year.

Lets get a Cy Bookie on the early odds.

I'll wait until the Yankees sign Manny before I place my bet but this is going to be a fun season. I guess I'll have to get the MLB Package!

As high as their payroll is going to be, the Yankees will be paying quite a bit in luxury taxes this season, and in the years to come. If that money is spent wisely, a low-budget team can do quite well. See Rays, Tampa Bay.
 
Took less money to play for the Yankees... I bet Boras is steamed...

Very similar to what Carlos Delgado did a few years ago. He came to the Yankees with an offer to join them for less then the Met's offered but the Yankees turned it down.

Boras knows that if they don't spend it on Tex they might just spend it on Manny, either way he gets paid.
 
I do not like Boras at all. He is worse then Rosenhose (SP) in my opinion but he is very good at his job and if I was a ball player I would want that guy as my agent. I would probably only talk to him at contract time though.
