This was a great trade for the Rangers. They needed to get rid of A-Rod's contract so that they can get some pitching. Plus, Soriano is actually really good and has pontential.
With that said, thank's for A-Rod!! 馃拑
it's their fault. Should have signed him when they had the chance, but too much pride to pay that amount of money. And now you're bitching about not having a salary cap...damn hypocrites. Anyway...you'll never win again because of the "Curse of the Bambino". Whether you believe in that or not, that fact still remains that you guys can't make it to the World Series. You should have beaten the Yankees last year, but you blew it.
The owners have put a curse on that organization not the Bambino. They just don't know how to draft a good farm system, they don't make good free agent signings (other than Shilling and Pedro, who will be Yankees soon enough) and they get a bunch of babies that cause problems in the locker room (Manny, Nixon). On the flip side, the Yankees get A-rod who is best friends with Jeter, who doesn't cause problems and is the best player in baseball (sorry its not that steroid juicer bonds), they get Kevin Brown who has the best sinker in baseball and can be abosuletey dominating when he is healthy, and they get Sheffield who is a legitimate triple crown threat every year. People condemn Steinbrenner for spending so much money but in reality he is doing something that no other owner is doing, he is using his baseball revenue to make a contending team every year instead of hording it away or wasting it. He should spend some extra money on tanning for Brian Cashman though. He's a tiny bit pasty.

I don't condemn King George for expeding his money the way he would please. But if that butt-kissing Commisioner of Selig had the guts to establish a enforcable salary cap. Then the Yankees and everyother team would be regulated on offering contracts to All-Stars. Like I said before if the Yanks want to secure a title shot then they need a good bullpen. Wells moved to the Padres, Clemmens moved to the Astros. So the Yankees lost two good veterans in the bullpen.
I got a feeling that the AL will be like this by Sept:
First place teams:
AL East: Yankees
AL West: The Angels (my team)
AL Central: Royals
