The reason why the brass felt the need to do it is because they have done nothing in the offseason and c'mon it's the Yankees! That's all they did is steal people from the little guys. It is perfectly okay too. They were one of the best teams in baseball last year, but since the Red Sox made a couple big splashes therefore it needed a counterattack. Soriano isn't the answer
Soriano is 31 years old and he is getting paid closer money to be a set-up man, like we always say... Only the Yankees. The Yanks just signed Mariano Rivera for 2 years so he will not be retiring anytime soon The other thing is relievers can come from anywhere and do not need to be paid the big bucks. If you want an example look what Cleveland paid Kerry Wood look how that turned out. I still count my blessings that the Milwaukee Brewers didn't pay Fransisco Cordero for 4 years 40 million dollars. Relief support should not be brought in for that money no matter if you are the Yankees, Brewers, Red Sox, or the Royals.
This screams panic move by New York. They know if their only move was get Andruw Jones, the fans would be up in arms. But sometimes you need to do what's best for your team and screw the fans like my boy Ted Thompson did in 2008.
