I never thought Tex would go to the Red Sox, he had problems with that organization at the beginning of his career and now he is joining their rival it makes sense. The Yanks just did this to make sure he didn't go to the Sox. They have cleared Giambi, Abreu, Moose, Petitte, Pudge, and Pavano. They had a lot of extra cash to spend. At the end of the off-season they will have ended up spending just a little more for this year than they did last year. I just have no idea why they traded for Swisher if they were planning on making a run for Tex.
