In the last week there have been two different articles (don't have links) referred to here which portrayed a negative cycle for the Yankees: older free agent signings, lack of draft picks and prospects, and television revenue enabling long term signings by smaller market teams. Unfortunately I see a tide shift coming this week of enough increased spending to overpower their problems:
Tanaka will be posted via a devious plan mentioned here of posting two players, similar to those done in Latin America- or through some Boras means we are not aware of, which will deliver funds under the table to the Rakuten owner. Especially with Texas out, and only LA money in the way he will be a Yankee. In turn, the floodgates of a supposed cap will open to deliver them Grant Balfour, who would love to stick it back to the Orioles in their own division, and could include Stephen Drew, who would either force the range compromised Jeter to play some third or second- or do so himself just this year.
Next year? They will sign Klayton Kershaw, or Max Scherzer..or Lester? In 6 years (gulp)- Bogaerts.
Lets enjoy replaying those bearded videos, for I fear a replay of 1977 when the sox had incredible home grown teams playing over .600 ball for consecutive seasons, while the Yankees overpowered them with money... they are the corrupt Roman empire appropriately playing in the most famous arena since the coliseum while paranoid followers of the sox like me pray at the monster/wailing wall!
