The Yanks could self-destruct like the Lakers after this one

This is looking very similar to what happened to the Lakers after the Pistons beat them... they'll have Joe Torre & Brian Cashman fired in the newspapers tomorrow, and wholesale changes will be in store for this team. I think this will be the end of the great Yankee teams for a while. They are older, they don't have any minor league talent, and ultimately, I think A-Rod brings them down and they are stuck with him forever.

well i dont agree with that. 200 million to spend enter new centerfeilder carlos beltran. Then enter all the best free agent pitchers available. when you have that much money to spend you dont go to last place! disregard my freaking team on that note the mets!

It doesn't matter. Unless baseball adopts a salary cap to level the playing field, Steinbrenner can just buy another team of superstars. You can bet that Beltran is high on his wishlist. Their local TV contract alone more than pays for their outrageous player salaries.

Maybe the Yankees ought to cut the payroll to $40 million and hold a "fire sale," and start over.
