We will find out how good Cash is.

A-Rod, CC and Teix will eat up 70.5 million of that. If Hal sticks to his guns, that leaves 118.5 for the remainder of team.

Cano is not going anywhere. There goes another 16-20 million. Leaving around 100 million.

If Rivera finally does retire, you going to allow Soriano to walk? Or sign another closer for 10+ million.

Granderson? Swisher? Hughes?

It will get interesting.

Swisher is easily replaced for less money imo. They picked up his option because of his locker room presence.

Soriano is a player that Cashman never wanted. He will not closed for the Yankees, it will be Robertson if he repeats his performance this year, otherwise it will be someone not named Soriano.

Loving the lower payroll btw. It really will make the continued championships even more enjoyable.

The Yankees have proven that the win consistently. Regardless of the financial climate. Not sure what is so funny about that for a Red Sox fan. :)

The funny part is the championships.

I have no doubt they will continue to win. They will have a 189 million reasons why they will continue to win.

Yeah, I thought I was going low on Cano.

Yeah, $189 million is still pretty close to free spending. That's still higher than any other team's payroll in the last 10 years.

It is. IMHO it is BS, but until proven otherwise I digress.

If this new fiscal responsibility comes to fruition, the Yankees have some big contracts that will come off over the next few years (Rivera and Jeter), but they also have young players in line for a payday (Cano).

Again, if this hard cap actually happens, you eventually have to cut talent to save money and replace with cheap players. Yankee Nation will soon see replacing a Papelbon with a collection of guys.

the New CBA included for all intensive purpose... a salary cap. Teams that go over the threshold $189m in 2014 (will change yearly like NFL) will have to pay a luxury tax, but one that is far more intrusive than before.

Another thing to consider is whose money it is.

The Royals demise from contenders to small market coincided with Ewing Kaufman's death. He did not mind spending 10s of millions of dollars every year to be competitive. It did not help how he transitioned the team after his death.

I am sure George's plan and the Yankees general revenue will keep the team at the top, but the free spending days are likely over.

Yep. Very interesting.

Only more than the payroll of half the other teams to add the final 15 players.

Poor Yankees.

They're the Yankees. No need to worry. Only thing I would have liked to have seen was keeping Montero because he was the face of this new class of Yankees stars.

No doubt, the Yankees will score and win 80+ games.

The Sox have a mess in the bullpen, unknowns going at the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation, but have spent enough on offense to keep them north of .500.
