Breaking News out of New York where reports are circulating
that the days of the deep pocked Yankees and endless money supply seem to be
over. In the days of The Boss George Steinbrenner would have snatched up Jon
Lester just because it would hurt the Boston Red Sox. George operated in the
red for many years while owning the Yankees as the team seemed to be his hobby
and his passion and not so much his job like his sons portray. Lester earned a
$25.84 million AAV for six years with the Chicago Cubs and while that’s a ton
and he’s probably not going to be worth anything near that in four or five
years, maybe six in the National League who knows, George would have done it.
The days of the hot stove and rumor seasons being fun are
over I do believe. In its place are fiscal responsibility and the hopes of
austerity after the 2016 and 2017 season when players like Alex Rodriguez, Mark
Teixeira, Carlos Beltran and CC Sabathia are off the books. These have the
potential to be dark times ahead in Yankees land ladies and gentleman and I
don’t look forward to it.
Be wary and be warned.
I don't know. Scherzer would make their rotation pretty good
