In other words, the Yankees will not be paying any of those. Also don’t forget that bond payments come off the top for calculating the salary cap and Luxury tax.

gotta love good journalism. ignoring facts to make a story compelling.

I mean, I can understand that it's not that sensible to have a $200MM payroll with a bunch of long-term contracts (no flexibility) and little cheap talent coming up from the minors, but what possible benefit would there be to Yankee fans if the Yanks drop payroll that much? (other than some possible bragging rights at not being super high spenders). This is what I don't get about the obsession with going young. Yankee fans are not going to see a reduction in ticket prices, merchandise or cable fees.... Why should the Yankees settle for a $130MM a year payroll?

Over the next decade, I'd guess we'll settle in at about $130 million/year and be challenging for the world series each year.

I'd still like to see him get it. Always liked Karstens.

Karstens with a perfect game through 6 2/3 and still going. He's only thrown 79 pitches...50 for strikes. Wow, talk about irony. Karstens with a perfect game through 6 2/3 and still going.

Because if it's the former, they won't have as much money as everyone thinks, since they also have to repay the cost of capital.

You will still be able to go affordably dont worry. only the already rediculously priced tickets are going astronomical. your run of the mill 25 or 30 dollar ticket is going up like 12 %-15% which is abt 3 or 4 bucks.
