I really don't like where these contracts are going. This has probably been discussed ad nauseum, but when do you have to call for a salary cap? Contracts are rising MUCH faster than inflation, which is reflected in cost of attending a game. In 10 years, it seems Joey Votto's contract will look more like the median than the superstar salary.
"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
Imagine if Votto were the premier free agent this year. Well, he might not get that much more than he's getting now, but it's likely he'd reach 260 or 270 from someone.
New television contract money starts in 2014. Teams have more to spend.Originally Posted by WildcatFan
I think this significantly increases the chances of a Phillips for Gardner trade.
Personally, I'd want more than just Gardner. Perhaps Gary Sanche would be a good start, if he can stay behind the dish.
Go BLUE!!!

The yanks now have the 2 worst contracts in baseball.
Cano at $300 mill looks like a bargain now

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010

They'll be happy about this deal in a very short time.

I eagerly await the inevitable trade in two years in which the Yankees will send Ellsbury, Brian McCann and CC Sabathia to Anaheim for Erick Aybar and whatever.

I would assume the New York Yankees are big fans of repeating history.

Why? Was it not dishing out obscene amounts of money for guys with age or injury issues that got them into a financial bind last season in the first place? Have they not struggled the last couple of seasons because of that?
This contract is going to end very badly for them.
