greg775 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Can you imagine if TV money dried up in this economy what the Yanks would do? How does TV remain able to pay the Yanks the kind of cash they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does TV remain able to pay the Yanks the kind of cash they do? Well, first of all, they own the network. That helps. But overall, yeah, I'd expect TV dollars to decline this year compared to last year. Difference is...it's not every year that a team gets a new Yankee Stadium to help pump up the revenue from ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matsui they would love to trade, but they would have to eat a lot of contract to do that. They have Brett Gardner waiting in their system. He apparently is very, very fast, draws a lot of walks, and has good plate discipline; just a few things that make a leadoff hitter. They also have Austin Jackson, who is very athletic, from what I've read. Edited December 27, 2008 by jenks45monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't spend over $400 million on free agents and then promptly entrust your leadoff job to a rookie, although I suppose they could move Jeter back to the top.
