I'd still like to see someone show me how the team can do this plan, replace C, 2B, SS, CF, RF, DH, #2-4 SP next offseason (with more one year deal guys) and still field a competitive team the next couple years.
It is not a loophole. The system was designed that way, but your interpretation and numders are wrong.
By resetting the penalty in 2013, the Yankees will pay 22.5% tax in 2014 if they exceed the threshhold. For starters, that is a substantial number. Second, if they go over again within that five year window it jumps to 30% and then 40% if they go over a third time from 2014 to 2018.
Basically, to avoid additional penalties of 30 and 40%, the Yankees can only go above the threshhold once every 5 years.
Im not 100% sure my interpretation is correct...but Im 98% sure. Ive researched this on 3 occassions.

Easy.
C-Martin on a cheap 3year deal. After flopping during the season, i can see 3yr- at 7or8 annually.
2b-Cano (if traded then Adams of Puppy). Maybe bring in a guy like Kepplinger.
SS- Jeter until he dies
RF- Dickerson, Itchy, Ibanez
DH- Rotation of Arod, Tex, Chavez, whoever.
Pitching- you have to go with the young guns.. Phelps, Hughes, Nova and maybe try Joba again.
Still have Grandy, Tex in the line up. Gardner is serviceable. CC is an work horse. Kuroda and Andy still in play.
Before being critical, look at what the Giants, Rays and the Os field.
Going back to those numbers above, all told, the Yankees account for a whopping 95 percent of the total. Here’s a key provision within the CBA that hits NYY.
(b) For a Club that has an Actual Club Payroll above the Tax Threshold in the 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016 Contract Year, the applicable Competitive Balance Tax rate shall be:
(i) 17.5% if the Club did not exceed the Tax Threshold in the preceding Contract Year;
(ii) 30% if the Club’s Competitive Balance Tax rate in the preceding Contract Year was 17.5% or 20%;
(iii) 40% if the Club’s Competitive Balance Tax rate in the preceding Contract Year was 30%; and
(iv) 50% if the Club’s Competitive Balance Tax rate in the preceding Contract Year was 40, 42.5%, or 50%.
That 50 percent rate is an up-tick from the rates in the prior labor agreement and something that the Yankees are surely aware of. What’s the target for the Bronx Bombers? That $189 million threshold number that tops out at the end of the labor agreement.
"I'm looking at is as a goal,'' Steinbrenner said to ESPNNewYork.com, "and my goals are normally considered a requirement.''
no frills, no avatars, nothing but pure unadulterated yankee talk mixed in with some sox hatred....

So tell me why we don't take a flier on Melky. He's going to get a 1 year make good kind of deal. Can't hurt... he'd love to come back and prove himself, if it's possible without juicing.
The Boss would have never tried to fit into this luxury tax ********. Sure he made some bonehead decisions, but at least he always put his money into the team. Hank and Hal![]()
