Yanks sign Mark teixeira
8 yr/170 million
Source: Teixeira, Yanks agree to 8-year deal ESPN.com Updated: December 23, 2008, 3:28 PM Free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira has reached agreement with the New York Yankees on an eight-year contract worth more than $170 million, a source involved in the negotiations tells ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. The Yankees swooped in on Teixeira on Tuesday when it was believed the Boston Red Sox or the Washington Nationals were the likeliest of his future employer. The Red Sox's offer was believed to be in the range of $170 million, and the Nationals reached out with an offer perhaps greater than that of Boston. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3790141 |

so that makes the screwed up competitive balance of baseball a figment of everyones imagination?!?! small market teams have to work twice as hard and be twice as smart, compared to the big markets, to just not get run off the field.

Parcells, why do you call him Schicklegruber? Does it have something to do with Hitler's dad?

500 million on 4 players. I just don't give a shit about baseball, and haven't for the last few years. I'll jump back on the MLB bandwagon once they institute a salary cap.

Good luck with that one. However, it is possible change will be forced upon MLB if the economy gets bad enough.

Amazingly enough, the Yankees payroll is still smaller than it was last year.
