re Kennedy, Kevin Goldstein said:

"Kennedy is pretty much the poster child for the kind of player who can put up ridiculous numbers in the minor leagues, but when it comes to the majors, he’s not as good. This is not a rip job on Kennedy by any means whatsoever. He’s a very good prospect, profiling as a solid number three or four starter in the big leagues for a long time ....Yankees fans shouldn’t be expecting greatness from him, either now or in the future."

uhhh... going back to point #1 about money being irrelevant, do you really think they can get 9 players + 6 pitchers, pay each anywhere from $15 to $25 million every year, build a new stadium without the city's subsidies, and not go broke?

I should have phrased that differently. the point is that value is less important to the Yankees than other teams.

the outlined trade would be incorrect for almost any other team to make, but maybe correct for the Yankees.
