Cash Cow

no my friends, that's not a manatee, it's a Yankee

Where to start....hmmm, it's one thing to outbid another team by 21 million dollars, but to outbid yourself by 21 million dollars, That just doesn't seem to make economic sense. This of course does not address that the Yankees already had the highest bid by 40 million. It's official, the new Steinbrenner is way crazier than the old one.

I know what you're thinking...why are you posting what all Yankee fans were already thinking. Well, mainly because of the great headline i came up with. In addition however, what's the deal with the extra one million. Was 160 million not enough? Were CC and his agent sitting in a room laughing with each other saying lets see if they'll cave for the extra million. "We agree you offer of 160 million is fair and far exceeds anything CC will see from someone else" says the agent, "but I've told you, either CC gets 161 million or we're signing with someone else." "Mr. Steinbrenner" says Cashman, "they wont take less than 161 million. " "Well then offer them 180 million, that should do. Oh, and throw in a year's worth of Godiva chocolates, that should keep him happy when he's not eating something else. "

Ahh, the New York Yankees...good luck on that AJ Burnett deal. Hopefully you can snag him off the market for only 20 million more than anyone else is willing to give the injury prone fireballer.

K-Rod: 36 Million

Putz: 5.5 Million in a trade

CC Sabathia: Priceless...oh wait, i mean 161 million.
