Free spending Yankees...

You've got to admit they are throwing around 8 and 9 figure deals like it's nothing.

They are just doing their part to help stimulate the economy. They are patriots.
They are not getting eveyone so someone else will be paying some of those big contracts. And yes they are thowing aroungd some big dollars.

you either got it or you don't and you can't take it with you when your gone.. SPEND away Yankee's at least it on something we need like pitching

The Yankees have no choice but to spend big. Their world wide market will start to contract if they don't win.

They will also sign either Teixeira or Manny because right now A-Rod has no real protection in the lineup. You can't count on a broken down Matsui to give you many at bats.

now you see the rangers are thetype of team that simply
cannot sign oft-injured higer-priced players....
if he goes down, they cannot afford a replacement
- higher payroll teams- yanks/sox, etc CAN

this is a bad business decision if it's true on the rangers front

Stick to the NL, Sheets.

either way he ends up on the DL again

Sour grapes all around. Sheets will do alright in a Rangers uniform.

Sour grapes about what?

Sheets is more than welcome at the Ballpark! Remember what Millwood said about pitching at the ballpark.. he's not the only pitcher pitching that day, he just needs to pitch better than the other guy.

The only ones that should have sour grapes, are the Brewer fans. They are losing both their number 1 and 2 starters.......................isn't life great!!

Come to the best franchise in all of sports.

Yankees have a lot of choices, they choose to put the best team on the field they can.

yeah , sign with the yankees if you really want to win , cause they have proven that they have won multiple titles in this decade .

wait what ??? you mean to tell me they haven't won any title's recently ??

Good, cause Burnett will likely be on the DL... we dont need (2) starters out for the season. CC, Burnett, Wang, Joba, Pettitte... Hughes in AAA waiting for Burnett to get hurt.

Pettitte 1 year $10 mill... Sheets would have been 2 years $30. Allows us to bid more and get Teixeira!

They have more division titles this decade, and those 13 straight playoff appearances and one 89 win season is not a sign of decline. that is the depths to which Boston fans, well this one anyway, need to go to to try and make themselves look like the Yankees looked to them for so many years, but you are not that to us, never will be. Enjoy your competitiveness, I do.
