What do you mean you have to pay those players? They couldn't have let Posada walk? They HAD to sign Texieria? They NEEDED to pay Burnett 80 million? Someone held a gun to their head to give $12 million to a Soriano to be a 8th inning guy? Jeter is obviously a special case because of his place in the teams history but they consistently simply throw money at guys to cover their mistakes. Hell they tried to sign Lee to a monumental contract and couldnt get it done. Say what you want about Boston but at least they seem to have a plan and make most moves logically. They are just as serious a contender as the Yankees are every year since 04 and are doing it for much less. The Yankees have spent 1.398 billion in payroll since 04, Boston has spent 935 million. Thats $463 million less or 66 million a year less.
