Yankees are on fire

Thursday, December 25th, 2008 | MLB | No Comments

mark_teixeria2

The New York Yankees signed Mark Teixeria for $180 million for eight years. It was rumored the Red Sox and Yankees had the highest bids for the Angels player. The deal has a $5 million signing bonus that will be paid out over the first three years the contract also has no-trade provision and no opt-out clause. Its rumored that the Red Sox offered $168 million over eight years. After signing Teixeria is seems to be unlikely that Manny Ramirez will become a Yankee in 2009 which could be a bad thing for Manny since the Angels also aoucned today that they will not persue him.

The Yankees also signed a one-year $5 million deal today with pitcher Chien-Ming Wang a 28 years old right hander. He was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA in 15 starts last year. The Yankees aggreed to this deal and avoided arbitation with Wang. This deal brings the Yankees payroll to $164 million in 2009 for 15 players. At this rate it doesn’t look like there will be a team that can compte with the Yankees.  The Yankees are also preparing to move into their new $1.3 billion park in 2009. The Yankees now have the four highest paid players in MLB, lets not forget A Rod has a 10 year $275 million deal.
