Yankees need to bump the payroll up to 250m

[ProfaneReality]

If they want to win next year. Cliff Lee will account for 23 mil added on, so they only need to spend another 20 mil

[brxbmbers42]

they are losing payroll. many guys will not be back. berkman vasquez. vasquez is 11 milli himself

[ProfaneReality]

How nice must it be to be Brian Cashman ? If he would have made 1/4th of the blunders in a small market as he has in NY he would have been shit canned 5 years ago

[brxbmbers42]

exactly what blunders did he make this yr? they got vasquez for a guy who was released this week by the braves.

Cost of the new Yankee stadium: 2.3 billion
NY Yankee payroll: $206 million
A-Rod striking out for the final out as the Rangers go to the World Series: PRICELESS!!!

[Boner_18]

PR, you understand there is no salary cap in baseball right?

I don't think you understand how this works.

you would take a rod on your team in a heartbeat. if your team traded for him tomorrow you would run around your house in your underwear screaming

[SHADYLANKY]

I think the Yankees payroll will be $225M+ next year.

[ProfaneReality]

Boner...I don't think YOU understand my point... 207m wasn't enough to buy a title this year... they need to try 250m

[brxbmbers42]

I love it how people always bring up the payroll. Its not your fukkin money. Why you worried about it. It is the one tangible thing people can wrap there head around and scream bloody murder about. its so fukkin ridiculous. Every owner in baseball is a multi gillionaire. they could all spend that but they choose not to. the steinbrenner family is not even in the top 10 of richest family owners

[rem sleep]

the yankees need to stop doing taco bell commercials

[DeluxeLiner]

the yankees can spend so much money because of their huge market, world brand, and YES network. It doesn't have that much to do about how rich the fam is

[ProfaneReality]

and I love how ignorant yankee fans dont understand the legitimacy of the payroll argument. its not a level playing field for all teams in the league... and its awesome when a team who does it the right way whoops that ass of a team who just tries to buy titles instead of grooming their own players.

yankees MO... let other teams draft well, excel at player development....wait 6 years then outbid every team in baseball for that player by 20 mil.

THE Yaaaaankeeees lose. THE Yaaaannnnkeeeees lose.

[brxbmbers42]

grooming their own players. posada jeter rivera cano bernie williams pettite hughes . were they bought or homegrown. some of the most important players from past championships. your ignorant

[tealish]

getting Lee would be nice. Losing Burnett even better.

[IrishTim]

lol they need to get more equity out of their payroll, not spend more.

[rem sleep]

what about arod, texeria, granderson, swisher, CC, Burnett, etc. Not to mention alot of yankees used roids back in the day (giambi, aroid, Clemens, petitie, etc) basically the yankees are a bunch of overpaid cheaters

[Patrick McIrish]

Yeah they are proving when you have no clue you can spend obscene amounts of money and still not win. Hell they couldn't even win a division title this year against one of the teams with the lowest payroll in baseball. I'd recommend buying Crawford, Lee and a few other all-stars, maybe that will at least win them a division next year. And yeah watching the 1/4 billion dollar bonus boy strike out with the bat on the shoulder to send these punks home was priceless! Feels good tonight to be a Yankee hater, LOL, damn good....

Bingo! Yanks payroll will substantially decrease not only next year but for the next 2-3 years until this limping economy improves.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Baseball needs a fuking salary cap from over paying these non-athletic athletes money that they don't deserve!!

Just my 2 cents

[Prey]

I wish I liked this sport when John Rocker played. What a hero.

[Squirrel]

The Yankees can spend all the ******* cash they like TBH, free agency is dying on its arse anyway -- by the time "uber" guys make free agency more often than not they are at their peak so flashing $20m per year at them for their declining years is ridiculous.

The majority of GMs are getting smarter nowadays and more and more excellent young players are spending their best years at the teams who draft them.

[OMGRandyJackson]

They need to cut Burnett. Fukkin guy.

[jarrod]

buy it like every year.

[Pauulzcappin]

Payroll might increse, Jeter will get at least 5 mill dollars more expensive, same goes to rivera.

[Pauulzcappin]

They should get Lee and if Pettitte retires they should make a move on De La Rosa, if this guy is healthy he's one of the best.

[pinnerpsk]

If they dont get Lee and Petitte retires their rotation is gonna suck next year

[Michaelmakesit]

yankees r worse than the cowgirls

[DMB40]

cliff lee coming to NY now all the yankee haters will have something to talk about

[sdtrader]

Are their odds at any book on whether Lee will sign with the Yankees?
