Yankees 'Love' Idea Of Signing Manny
SI.com - The Yankees reportedly 'love' the idea of bringing Manny Ramirez to New York.
They are on the peripheries of the Mark Teixiera negotiations and if he returns to the Angels, then Ramirez's potential asking price goes down in their eyes.

The Red Sox and Rays are f**king toast.
Let's sign Teixiera AND Manny.
If Teixeira goes to Boston then Manny will likely drop his price because he'll mainly be a DH and he'd want to kill Boston all year long.
Manny isnt going to drop his price for the Yankees when he knows they are idiots when it comes to money and will overpay any top FA. If Tex does go to Boston the Streinbrenners will panic and pay whatever it takes. Im guessing 3 years 90 million would be about right.
Must suck being a fan of the Nats?
Actually I am a Giants fan. What I am not is a fan of a system where it is such a huge advantage for a couple of teams based upon their geography and population.
Baseball needs to implement a salary cap with a minimum level that all teams must spend and a maximum amount as well.
I believe you call yourself a 49er fan. What would you think if there was no salary cap in football and the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones could simply go buy every top FA that came out every year. I'm guessing you would think that wasnt right.
Quit being such a Yankee homer and think logically about what is best for the game of baseball.
