For the first time in 16 years, the Yankees are not the highest-paying team in Major League Baseball.

I think I read they are at 235 mil. I hope they are stuck with those contracts and lux tax hell for awhile.

Hanley off the books. Along with Beckett and Billingsley I think others too?

That Brandon League contract is ugly though lol

Idk if they were close though? Maybe though?

If not he's all Yankee Imo after this season. I think Alex Guerrero is next in line in at SS for the dogs

The Dodgers, oddly enough, penned another Cuban to a 5 year deal, shortsop  Arruebarruena Erisbel. His Cuban stats are not all that impressive. Cuban baseball expert Peter Bjarkman stated: "He tries to make too many impossible plays and is dubbed Errorbarruena in Cuba as a result." He signed a contract on February 22nd and showed up 3 weeks late.

 

ErrorBueno and Pig are going to be a hell of a combo for the Dodgers coaching staff.

While I would like to bag on them.  At least they spend the money on the field.   Part of the reason why McCourt was hated is he pocketed the money while continuing to gauge the fanbase.
