As a fan I am glad we have him. Would you prefer to have an owner who pockets all the profit instead of spending it on the field?

Schilling came from free agency and he was a big part of Boston winning.

I prefer the Yankees keep Miguel Cairo and spend their money on pitching.

The Red Sox traded for Schilling.

And look how good Casey Fossum is doing.

I wish Casey Fossum all the best. I hope he turns out to be the stud I thought he could be with the Red Sox. He needs to inquire another pitch, and he needs to put on some weight to throw a little harder.

Brandon Lyon, the other kid in that trade, was someone I loved and adored in 2003 out of the bullpen. He really filled a gap for quite some time.

De La Rosa got traded to the Brewers in the Sexson deal.

Boy, has Arizona really made some bogus moves the last couple years. To think they were a World Series Champion in 2001.

That really turns me off, a team that wins it all and is satisfied. I hunger for more championships.
Hopefully Boston will follow Arizona and let the Yanks get it back.

In Theo I Trust.

He is the good.

yup, they probably will go after him... and every other high profile free agent available. I would too though, especially if I had no decent prospects left to trade.

Hey, I hear Nomar is willing to play 2nd base if the Yanks are interested in him.

And while they're at it, maybe they can sign Barry Larkin to play first base. Then they'd have the first all-shortstop infield.

Screw that. Go after Orlando Cabrera. He'll be MUCH more expensive than Barry Larkin.

Nope, Soriano may be available. I would love to get him back.

That's the first I've heard of Soriano being available. I thought he had a decent season with Texas. Are they thinking of trading him? The Yankees don't have too much of value to trade, unless they're thinking of perhaps a package deal like Brown and Heredia. (Insert smilies appropriately).

I believe he is a free agent.

Nomar has agreed to play second base and third next year.

Yahoo is reporting the Yanks have contacted the Rangers about a Soriano for Javier Vasquez trade. I can't see Texas going for that. They'd get a lesser quality player and take on more salary. Plus, the Yankees need pitching, and here they are shopping one of their starters.

Didn't hear that at all, from what I understand the Yanks plan on keeping Vasquez.
