    <<Good thing Tino missed the roids memo!>>

    Are you accusing Tino of being on roids?

    This is the biggest advantage of having unlimited budgets. You can make mistake after mistake and then you can just buy your way out of it. Had a small market team like an Oakland or Minnesota made this deal...they'd be done for a decade. But because the current system is so flawed, the yanks can just throw more and more money at their problems and make them go away.

    While I yearn for the day when a hard salary cap is put in place, I won't hold my breath for it. Teams that are spending $100, $200 million on payroll have far too much influence to allow a cap to come into existence, and ole queen george wouldn't be able to buy an all-star team any more.

    Isn't it more like $18 million? Big tab for an underperforming DH.

    I'll bet Cashman would still like to void his contract if he could. The guy is a shadow of his former self.
