1 0 All Rob Reed^3427 Perhaps the beginning of the end of the current way of business in baseball? Yankees sign Teixeira for 8 years, $180 million 12/23/08, 2:12pm I'm not a fan of socialism, but I think this offseason should make any of us baseball fans fed up with the way that the Yankees can throw ridiculous amounts of money to get the best players. Seriously... between Sabathia and Teixeira, the Yankees have probably committed more than the Pirates, Royals, or Nationals are likely to spend in the next 4 years... Ridiculous.
