Jim VBYou non- Yankee fans can whine all you want. So far, the Yankee's payroll is still about $7-8 million UNDER last year! (Although they have offered Pettitte $10.0 million
They have used the expiring contracts of Giambi ($23.4 million), Abreu ($16.0 million), Pettitte ($16.0 million), Mussina ($11.0 million) and Pavano ($11.0 million). I hope the current expendititures work out a little better.
Time to renew my DirectTV MLB package.
Edited to add - James, I understand your frustration but Baltimore was actually Texeira's favored team and their offer was competitive. He didn't go there because he didn't feel they were serious about winning, not because the Yankees offered more money. If you want to "fix" the Orioles, look first at the incompetent ownership.
