Yankees hit with $26 million luxury tax

Ordinarily, this would belong in the non-giants league news(?), but I think this deserves a a special case:

"But at the end of the day, it's always been George Steinbrenner's philosophy to win. If a difference-maker is attainable, the Boss goes and gets him."

Wow, another "at the end of the day," from someone not as savvy, intelligent, and handsome as GM Brian Sabean.

Sigh

I wish the Giants paid a hefty luxury tax. Of course, that would mean we'd be paying for more expensive crappy guys.

The Giants are liable to be the only team in history to pay a luxury tax on washed up San Diego Padres.

Amazing

Even with an essentially limitless budget, the Yanks still aren't set at 1B for next season. There was talk of Shea Hillenbrand earlier in the offseason, but now they're actually eyeing Mark Loretta.
