A-Rod comes clean about "friendship" with Jeter

Today, Alex Rodriguez decided to stop all the "lying" and acknowledge that he and Jeter do not have the friendship they once did. Although he described them as having a good working relationship, he did mention that there has been a change in their relationship. Alex once criticized Jeter in a 2001 Esquire article by saying that he (Jeter) did not have to lead because he was surrounded with so much talent. Many believe this was a turning point in their friendship. So just to summarize, players have been at spring training for less than 24 hours and we already have one player who feels snubbed and is probably going to end his career instead of swallowing his pride, another player who has been and still can be a huge piece in the success of the team in the future who is talking about playing for Boston, and two of the greatest players to ever play the game who may have their panties in a bunch. Welcome to Yankees spring training!

70 million reasons

There are now 70 million more reasons why Boston fans need to put their incessant whining about the high Yankee team payroll in the past.

Quit whining and play ball

The best opinion piece I have seen in a long time was written by Sean McAdam of the Providence Journal. He argues that Boston needs to quit whining about the Yankees payroll as they have solidified themselves as the team with the second highest payroll in baseball with the winning bid of $51 million for Matsuzaka.

Boston wins the Matsuzaka bid

Boston has won the rights to negotiate with Daisuke Matsuzaka with by placing a $51.1 million bid. Reports have the Yanks placing a bid of around $33 million. I am at a loss to explain why New York has lost this bid. Are they attempting to tone down their image as a big-money team? Were they hesitant to spend the better part of $100 million (probably the total cost of the winning bid as well as the likely total cost of a multi-year Matsuzaka contract) to bring unproven talent to MLB? When everything is said and done, the Yanks will have paid Randy Johnson $48 million for three years of dissapointing pitching, assuming 2007 is anything like 2005 and 2006 for Randy, which there is no reason to believe it won't be. They also signed Carl Pavano for $40 million for 4 years, and he has won a total of 4 games in the first two years of that contract. Are they still hurting from being burnt by overpaying other talent that has not produced in the Bronx?
