The Dbacks have more qualified suitors for johnson, like the cardinals and the angels. And according to Peter Gammons, they are demanding Posada as a base for any possible trade from the yankees.

Giambi is not even close to the player he once was...the old steroids rumor might have a part in that. Williams hit .262 last year, and isnt getting any younger. Lofton hit .275 in a half-years worth of at-bats...and also isnt getting any younger.

The players do get a playoff share, and it is a fixed percentage of all postseason revenue. I;m not sure where this 80 million profit number comes from, please elaborate. And the Red Sox also sell out every game, own their own cable station, and have a smaller payroll than the Yankees while selling just as much merchandise.

The Yankees can throw all the money in the world out there, but if they continue to make bad decisions, it wont matter.
