08:12 AM ET 05.24 | The notion seems unfathomable: the Yankees without the Steinbrenners. Rumors are flying in Major League Baseball and New York banking circles that the family that has owned Major League Baseball's premiere franchise since Cleveland shipbuilder George Steinbrenner purchased the club for $8.8 million in 1973 is exploring the possibility of selling the Yankees. Multiple baseball and finance sources told the Daily News they are hearing that the team the Steinbrenner family has led to seven World Series titles could be put on the block in the wake of the record sale price of $2.175 billion the Los Angeles Dodgers went for in April. ... Yankee president Randy Levine adamantly denied the rumors.

I guess that if the boys could get 3 or 4 billion for selling they would be stupid as hell for not looking at the possibility...
