No kidding....the luxury tax just isn't doing sh*t....I think the Yanks blew the "limit" by about 25 million or so....they had to pay 12 million in tax I think....I couldn't find the article I read at the beginning of the season with the hard numbers....sigh....robdamanii said:They are.
Bad ones at that. They can't even steal a world series no matter how much they try.
Baseball needs a goddamned salary cap.
I just read an article the other day concerning that. I believe the number was slightly more than 12 million. In fact, the Yankees had to pay out 34 million dollars. The Red Sox were the second highest team with a luxury tax of 4 million or so.Secret Squirrel said:No kidding....the luxury tax just isn't doing sh*t....I think the Yanks blew the "limit" by about 25 million or so....they had to pay 12 million in tax I think....I couldn't find the article I read at the beginning of the season with the hard numbers....sigh....
I read on ESPN some time back that the Yankees had structured the contracts of their major players (Jeter, Giambi, etc) so that they were backloaded. In other words, whatever they're paying right now in luxury tax will be pocket change compared to what's going to happen later when the big salary years kick in.Polandspring88 said:I just read an article the other day concerning that.

Oakland, actually. Damon went from KC to Oakland to Boston to NY.DNA said:Not that I am defending the Yankees ( 'cause I hate them like all true baseball fans do), but didn't the Red Sox cherry pick Damon from the poor, pathetic KC Royals?
That's right, I forgot about Oaktown.I Are Baboon said:Oakland, actually. Damon went from KC to Oakland to Boston to NY.
