Yankees Sign Texiera

Along with our pitching aquisitions of CC Sabathia & AJ Burnett.
Yanks just inked Texiera to an 8-year deal.

Chalk it up. `09 Here we come.

you guys signed all those guys, at a ton of money. and then want New York to front you about 300 million for your new stadium? i tell the Yanks to take a hike

I love how Red Sox fans are bugging out.

George is just an animal when it comes to spending money. I dont mind.

What a joke. The Yankees have thrown absurd amounts of money at anything with a heartbeat in recent years and it's amounted to ZERO titles in nearly a decade- and we all know the Steinbrenner mouths measure their success in Championships- as in the season isn't a success if they don't win one.

$423.5M in new contracts in 9 days.

I'm glad to see the Yanks are continuing to attempt to buy World Series titles instead of grooming home grown talent the way they did during their late 90's glory years.

As you can see, I'm a massive Yankee hater. I have the sad distinction of being an Orioles fan, but my passionate hatred for the Evil Empire (and that pompous whiny punk Hank Steinbrenner) far outweighs any dislike I have for the Cowboys, Florida State, etc....

Chalk what up....Bankruptcy..? Or another team that overpaid and is going nowhere.

Thats stupid money. Glad I gave up on baseball many years ago! Thats a JOKE.

Hey man. I was born a Yanks fan. Grew up watching Donny Baseball. And anybody whos a fan of baseball...BUT NOT A YANKEE FAN...is a hardcore hater thats just how it is. Your mad right at US right? i can understand why.

If the Yankees are going to get an obscene amount of money from the city to build a new stadium that the Yankees will then own, isn't the responsible thing to reinvest the money back into the team rather than pocketing it? Wouldn't it be 100 times worse if the team just decided to profit off the new stadium while sitting behind the Rays and the Sox in the division?

I'm a Royals fan, so I don't ever have to deal with these sort of issues. We sign Kyle Farnsworth for $10 million and then complain about not having enough money to make moves that will actually help the team.

with that T.V. contract the yankees have, they could easily afford to fund their own stadium(plus) Jack Kent Cooke did it:)

I root for the Yankees being in NY (not a "Fan" like I am of the Skins), the Cardinals are actually my favorite baseball team, but I pull pretty hard for the Yankees....

but even I'll admit this is getting ridiculous. You'll never see it, but there really needs to be a salary cap in baseball. I really hope football doesn't end up going this way (even though we'd be one of the teams that would probably benefit from no salary cap).
