Haha and boston fans think that the Red Sox are superior than all of these amazing moments, memories, and history!! Lmao. Chills the entire video! They're just jealous!!!
Yankees have no interesting starting pitchers nor relievers, just rivera and when sabathia does the best, when not giving up a lot of runs in one game. Pettite good, steroids ruined him.
On the enitre 25 man roster, the Yankees have 3 big name free agent signings, which is not outrageous around the league. The Yankees either brought up or traded talent to get the roster they have. The 'buying championships" argument is non existant.
To all those complaining the Yankees buy everyone, look at the roster. Teixiera-bought Cano- minor leagues Rodriguez- trade (Soriano) Jeter- minor leagues Martin- low interest FA Gardner- minor leagues Swisher- trade (Betemit) Granderson- trade (Jackson/Kennedy) Sabathia- bought Kuroda- unknown FA Hughes- minor leagues Pettitte- minor leagues Pineda- trade (Montero) Nova- minor leagues Rivera- minor leagues Soriano- bought Chavez/Ibanez/Jones- FA, not alot of interest around the league
Remember, to get A-Rod the Yankees had to give up Alfonso Soriano, who, at the time, was the best second base prospect in baseball and looked like the real deal. Granderson also came via trade, giving up prospects.
Swisher is also only making 10 million, so he wasn't really bought, just wanted to come to New York. Ibanez, Chavez, and Jones all came to new york by choice. CC Sabathia was maybe bought, thing is, if you are going to hound the yankees for every deal they make, does that mean they can never offer a player a large amount of money so they can get him. Again, all teams do that. So thats the end of my argument, the yankees do not even come close to buying all their players.
Buying a player is when you give them an offer that they cant resist. Granderson could have gone to other teams, hes only making 10 million right now which is not alot at all for a player of his caliber. Alex Rodriguez came to the yankees through a trade because the rangers could not afford him, they did not offer him anything. Teixeira is making 20 million, however other teams like the red sox were offering him great amounts also. So maybe he was "Bought" ( all teams do that) (continued next)
