Yankees sign Teixeira for 8 years, $180 million [Reply to #5662] 12/27/08, 10:10am The Yanks have always overspent on players and always will. Doesn't mean they automatically get the trophy. So why should anyone be upset about their free spending ways? Gives you more motivation to root against them. Besides, if I were a Pirates (Royals, etc.) fan, I'd be more upset that the Pirates owner pockets all the revenue sharing cash and refuses to make his team competitive.
