The all knowing Wizard of Oz Jon Heyman, is reporting that the Yankees have made it known that all of their corner outfielders are on the market.
Why would they be looking to move any of these guys? Simple answer, to sign the last remaining big name FA bat on the market, Manny Ramirez. DUH!!! The commenters all figured that out as well.
The thought of the middle of the Yankees lineup is pretty awesome, but I really wish the Yanks would look at upgrading CF more than anything. The Steinbrenners love Manny, and you saw that when they decided they wanted Teix, they got the deal done. We will be tracking…

Didn’t the Yanks already upgrade CF with Swisher? stalkingerinandrews(Quote)
If the Yanks sign Manny, baseball will institute a salary cap. This would be the final straw. But, he would probably destroy that clubhouse. Clearly, he isn’t very professional, and he can’t argue that he’s all about winning after what he did in Boston. natsfan74(Quote)
eh-you could say that,but then you are still sticking Johnny Damon in LF. I would prefer him being a backup OF and stick with DH. sparty(Quote)
damon that is. sparty(Quote)
Please don’t let this happen. rekcalsa(Quote)
I think the really important question here is what Manny will look like without those signature dreads of his! pkiguy22(Quote)
i think that is what people want to see, pki. They made a big deal out of Damon shaving his beard and cutting his hair when they signed him. sparty(Quote)
And that is why I hate most of america sparty. pkiguy22(Quote)
I may boycott baseball for a few months if this happens. marcomarco(Quote)
Dodgers are playing the Manny Ramirez game perfectly
Finish it by signing Ramirez to the same two-year, $45-million deal they offered him two months ago…
…Anything longer will turn Ramirez back into a dog. Anything richer will make the Dodgers look like fools. marcomarco(Quote)
I’m already boycotting the entire season, marco. mizerle06(Quote)
i am probably in the minority here on this…but I dont blame manny for wanting to get out of boston while he still had some years left instead of being uncerimoniously dumped ala pedro martinez…
i dont mean this as a bad thing…i think boston is one of the few teams that treats the game as a business…they do not get emotionally attached to players – most teams do
heres what i mean:
use all you can out of pedro – dump him use all you can out of garciaparra …dump him…
use all you can out of damon,,,if the price isnt right – dump him….looks like the same is on the horizon for varitek as well
manny made a business decision to get out of boston….boras is that
evilsmart…they saw the writing on the wallmost teams kiss players asses….boston shines
