Yankees sign Teixeira for 8 years, $180 million [Reply to #5674] 12/28/08, 1:32pm I'd never expect them to compete w/the Yanks or Red Sox for type A free agents, but how about throwing a little money at a Garland, Bradley or Penny. These guys have problems but would make them more competitive. It's about putting a good product out on the field for the fans to enjoy. And look at the A's. They compete despite being in a small market through smart spending. [MunsonMustache from SAN FRANCISCO/CA] Replies:
