I'm just pissed that they overpaid a Red Sox player and not a Yankee. A Yankee that helped them win a title recently.

I really believe they could have worked out a seven year deal around $200 million if they didn't overpay Ellsbury. I'm willing to be that signing pissed him off and sent him looking for the biggest deal possible.

- I'm not upset about having him just about overpaying him. Who else was trying to acquire him at anything close to what we paid? Likely, no one. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:20 4
  - I could see why you wouldn't be happy as they did seem to be bidding against themselves. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:27 3
    - Exactly. And that probably angered Cano and sent him looking for the biggest deal. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:34 2
      - the good thing for you fans is that if any team can restock I think its the Yankees. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:40 1
        
        Sure but that's a lot of pieces. Do they just blow the $185m cap? I doubt it since they'll be able to spend even more next year if they don't. Also - Krusty Dec 6, 11:47
- it just occurred to me that this would be a different post if it came from RC. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:15
