Just heard a few hours ago that Burnett said he will be a Red Sox to some friends recently. I assume that the Red Sox will make a trade for him with prospects like Hanley Ramirez and probably a 1st baseman in there.
screws the basic competitive nature of the game.
If the Yankees keep getting into these overpaid contracts with players that can't be moved, it will help the balance of the game. Very poor that we have to rely on the Yankees poor maneuvering of getting players and just spending a load of money. Giambi will be stuck there, Kevin Brown too, it's good to have players that take up nothing but payroll for the other teams.
Definitely agree with you that it's the business of baseball. The weak get weaker and the strong get stronger. Takes some luck almost that get out of the hole and many teams will always be there....TAMPA! Note to excel: Yea, it does suck for Lou!
