BF_in_Indiana Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 So what is the Yankees Payroll now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 This move is going to do nothing but get Derek Jeter laid even more than before. I mean, before, girls thought he was good looking. Now, stand him next to Randy Johnson,... holy crap... He'll get laid by comparison.... good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/arti...son_reach_deal/ 195719[/snapback] I thought you were a Devil Rays fan? When did you live in NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 right around 210 i believe. 195759[/snapback] That sounds about right. Would someone PLEASE fix the economics of baseball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 That sounds about right.

erynthered Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I thought you were a Devil Rays fan? When did you live in NYC? 195763[/snapback] I go and see the Devil Rays play, when they play the Yankees. I've been a Yanks fan since about 1963.

The Red Sox aren't far behind, maybe they can go after Beltran? He wants 20 million a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwovince Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Red Sox are far enough begind. 20M or more behind. They also have to spend just to compete with them. Im a red sox fan and would support a Salary Cap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a red sox fan and would support a Salary Cap!! 195798[/snapback] I'm a Yankee fan and would support a salary cap too. I'm confident that players would still want to be Yankees based of prestige, tradition and the history of the New York Yankees. Like it or not we are the most storied franchise in baseball history with or without a 200+ million dollar payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only afford so many superstars. Right now you are allowed to go out and sign whoever you want for however much you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm confident that players would still want to be Yankees based of prestige, tradition and the history of the New York Yankees. 195804[/snapback] Picture this: Salary cap is set at $90 Million. "Randy Johnson, we want you to be a Yankee, we are your best cahnce at a World Series. We can only pay your $2 Million a year though" "Randy, Detroit Tigers here. We have about $11 million to spend. Forget our outfield - we want YOU." Pretty sure old Randy would turn Orange and Blue in about two seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
