Team owners are mad with the Yankees spending !

Tweet

I've been reading so many reports for years now, and especially this year on how much money the Yankees spend on free agents during the off season. I am not a Yankee fan. But tas a sports fan, if a team has the money to spend, they have the right to do so. I'm a Red Sox fan, and everyone asks what do I think of the moves the yankees have made, and now adding Mark Teixeira. I'm honestly not mad at all. At 1st it was frustrating to see the Yankees upgrade their roster as much as they have this year, while the Red Sox major concern seemed to be only bringing back Jason Varitek. The Red Sox are a very concervative team when it comes to spending money on free agents, especialy pitchers. They concentrate more on developing their own talent from the minors. Unlike The Yankees, they have made it very clear since the 200 season that they are trying to buy a world series. And it hasn't worked ever since they signed Giambi. Team owners are making all this fuss about the Yankees spending. It's their money. They do what is neeeded to bring in the best players. They play to win. Last season was the 1st time in several yrs that they decided not to spend a ton of money. They decided to go with their young pitchers, and it didn't work, and the fans were mad. All the yrs before that, they spent a ton of money on pitching and hitting, and it still didn't work, and the fans were mad. So what's all the fuss about? It doesn't matter how good a team looks on paper. They still have to win. With the amount of money they have spent on Sabathia, Burnett and Teixeira, over $400 million, that just puts more added pressure for them to win it all. Making it to the world series isn't going to cut it. They have to win. team owners and other baseball fans can't get mad at the Yankees. You have to look at the players that sign with them. It seems like the players aren't interested in competing against the Yankees. They are playing to play for the Yankees instead. It's like, when their contract is up at the end of the season with their current team, they'll just go and sign with the Yankees. or if they can't get the amount of money that they want from another team, they'll just run to the Yankees. It's a sucker move. And that's what Sababthia did. He wanted to play for a team close to his California home. He met with the Yankees the 1st time to get the other teams to raise their offers, and when it didn't work, he took the easy way out and became a Yankee. But he can opt out after 3 yrs if he feels he doesn't wanna be their. If that was the team he really wanted to play for, he would've signed a long term deal. He's a sucker. When it all comes down to it, the athletes are just plain greedy. Sababthia was still going to make alot of money with any team he signed with. It's sounds so stupid to hear these guys complaining about millions of dollars. You have regular working people who have to save a few pay checks just so they can go to a game and buy a hot dog and a beer for $85.
