The Yankees have never been afraid to spend money. If George can get a HOF like Ken Griffey to play in NY, I think he would be willing to spend $14 million on him. Heck, I would spend $14 million on him if I were JR just because he brings excitment and talent.
Maybe the Yankees are finally trying to get away from signing near end-of-career guys for gobs of money? They haven't been willing to take on much more payroll though they desperately need a CF. Boston is one of the few teams that would have the available money to take on his contract but they obviously aren't going to move Damon or put Griffey at DH.
So, using ESPN reasoning, that would leave . . . ? Baltimore?
Maybe we still have a shot.
