Wonder how bad the Yankees offer was if Schierholtz signed elsewhere for $2.25M

Lol

I think one of our issues is that guys often want to be full time starters. And he may not have felt he had that option in NY.

As soon as we hear the Yankees are interested in negotiating with him we will hear the news that he signed with another team.

Honestly, I'm laughing lol. This is just crazy. Im at a near loss of words. Its comical.

[JesusMontero]

wow yankees are really striking out

We have no one to play RF. I would think that job would be his to lose. All indications are pointing away from Swisher and Hamilton. Heck, Ichiro will probably sign elsewhere.

[ohbilly2134]

You know what, **** US!!!

Just for being douches and losing out on every FA on the planet, I hope Ichiro signs a 1-year deal with the Mets for $600.

This has become a complete and utter joke.

[JobaRules26]

Ichiro, Ibanez and Youkilis will all have new homes, not in NY. Bank on it.

[Highcheese4U]

Oh but HEY Hal.. you are a "finance guy" right!?! You and your $189M cap saving your $50M is going to cost you your fan base!!!

[wildbill69]

Sounds like you guys need to calm down and have a little faith. Many good players remain and could sign in January

[carljam1]

I honestly can't imagine any realistic moves that legitimately make this team better. That is a little sad.

Not with the money the Yankees are throwing around, or lack there of.

[TallicaFan87]

From a Newsday article - Earlier in the day, Yankees president Randy Levine reiterated the organization's stance on payroll, saying, "the goal here is very, very simple. We believe in 2014 that at $189 million dollars, which will be the highest payroll in baseball, that we can put a really quality championship team on the field. We believe that's very doable, we believe we can do it. And it's not that we are looking to save money, it's not that we're looking to not be as productive as we can . . . We think it makes us better and smart and that's what we're going to try and do."

At least we can take comfort in the fact that this isn't happening just to save money! Its happening because it makes the Yankees better and smart...somehow.

Yeah? Who exactly are you referring to? Eric Hinske and Hector Luna?

[DieHardColtsfan]

[ohbilly2134]

Oh, wait...Eric Hinske is already signed.
