Right now, the Yankees look like a team throwing away a ton of money on early playoff exits. Granted, not as bad as throwing away a ton of money on a horribly losing team (*kaff*Knicks*kaff*), but the fans of the Yanks can't like it. Even if their outlays go up (paying part of A-Rod's salary, for example), a move to reduce their active payroll would probably help the fans' perceptions a little.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1162305822693639662006-10-31T09:43:00.000-05:002006-10-31T09:43:00.000-05:00I love how you keep trying to recommend fiscally s...I love how you keep trying to recommend fiscally savy moves to the Yankees. If they actually trade A-Rod, they're going to end up eating 2/3 of his salary anyway. Then they'll go overspend on another starting pitcher who had a fluke season. Their payroll will be approaching $300 million in a couple seasons.Christopher Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053089265615859725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1162305670612869822006-10-31T09:41:00.000-05:002006-10-31T09:41:00.000-05:00The only flawed logic with proposing Rodriguez to ...The only flawed logic with proposing Rodriguez to FSU is that he actually requires his players go to classes.EPorvaznikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653412963180740901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1162305504168478182006-10-31T09:38:00.000-05:002006-10-31T09:38:00.000-05:00Dan, you say that the yankees trading A-Rod would ...Dan, you say that the yankees trading A-Rod would be to save money. Now that the luxury tax was increased, do you think the Yankees care more or less about money? I'm guessing less.<BR/><BR/>If they were willing to go out and get Abreu this year, I don't think the amount of money they spend on a player matters.<BR/><BR/>Also, a question to anyone who knows...Does the amount you pay in the silent bid for that Japaneese Pitcher count against your salary cap? Does the bid money only ensure you the right to try and sign him?
