Sources: Yankees Targeting Cano, $300M Spending Spree 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:26 pm

The New York Yankees are putting together a plan that could have them go on a $300 million spending spree this winter, according to sources.


The front office and ownership have long talked about getting under the $189 million luxury tax threshold for 2014.


The Yankees will begin their organization meetings on Monday where they will settle on a strategy that they believe can cut payroll to $189 million while spending big on free agents.


According to sources, New York is expected to target Robinson Cano, Masahiro Tanaka, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran.

Yanks just gonna spend unnecessary money and they won't even be a competitive team in their division or the AL in general. They need to start fresh and bring in some youth. No point of going after Beltran or McCann. Hell I'd even try to trade both CC and Teixeira and get some prospects in return.
