The New York Yankees have spent nearly $500 million on free agents this offseason, an act that Larry Lucchino says refuels the team's rivalry with the Boston Red Sox.
"It's like 'Back To The Future,' is my sense," he said. "I've seen this movie before.
"Anything that can be done that increases the intensity of the rivalry, as this certainly does, I think is positive -- as long as it doesn't go so far as to give them the advantage."
Lucchino said he and fellow Sox owners John W. Henry and Tom Werner are just as committed to winning as the Yankees, but not when it means "crazy expenditures that might be commonplace in New York."
