Yanks deal Mondesi to the dbacks...

That would imply that the Yankees care about payroll. The Yankees always have flexibility in the offseason (see Matsui, Contreras, Giambi, Musinna, etc.). Hell, if need be, I wouldn't have been surprised if the Yanks just released Mondesi and ate his contract.

Compared to your normal team, they don't care. But, they care about .01% about it. They have to maintain some sort of fiscal responsibility.

I disagree, but I do see where you're coming from. I mean, there's a luxury tax on the Yankees, but they just blew by it like it was nothing. There was a funny article from The Onion a while back commenting on this, lemme dig it uo.

According to Cashman, they got rid of Mondesi for the sole fact that he left the ballpark in the 6th inning at the Sunday Red Sox game after he was pinch-hit for. They say hes done this several times in his career and doesnt have the team attitude.

 

When asked whether Mondesi would still be in a Yanks uniform if this incident has not happened, Cashman said "yes".
