Who?
No, who's on first, but who is this guy that the Yankees have won the rights to? Never heard of him before. $26 million is twice what the Mariners paid to sign Ichiro, and it seems that the Yankees are overreacting in the wake of the Red Sox snagging the rights to Matsuzaka. Say he gets a three year deal worth $24 million, which is my guess based on current market trends, that's $50 million for three years. As much money as they're paying to a known commodity in Johnny Damon for four years. Seems a bit steep. Hope this guy doesn't turn out to be another fat toad.
