They make the most money and with the new Yankee stadium they are going to make a lot of money this year, so they should be able to spend what they like. But the Yankees are actually below there 2008 salary as of right now.

Haha you should be pissed because the Red Sox couldn't sped like $1.5 million more a year to sign Teixeira, yet they over bid on JD Drew and Dice K in the past.

No way that is going to happen!
But Scott don't forget the Yankees also have a very good farm system. In the past the Yankees have overpaid old aging players like Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, etc...
Now the Yankees have brought in some young players and have some uprising young players. They could of easily traded away their prospects but they chose to be smart and sign free agents instead of trading for Sabathia, Santana or Teixiera last year.

Yes, thats true. But their farm system is still iffy. Yes Joba has been great from the farm system but Phil Hughes is still iffy on whether he will be the stud he was once thought of. I'm not sold on guys like Melky Cabrera either. They started doing it the right way with the farm but I think at times they bring in too many high paid guys. One thing you cant buy with money is player chemistry which is huge in baseball. Rays had it and that put them in the world series.
