Which is why I understand the Yankees making outlandish demands, not that I'd want to be the ones to meet them. And I doubt that we will. But when you're the Yankees, at least in their mind, they can lose 100 games this year and effortlessly buy a 100 win team for next. They've got a ton of cash coming off the payroll over the next 2 years- Texeira, Sabbathia, and Beltran after 2016 and A Rod after 2017, all of which I have to imagine they'll go right out and spend it all on the shiniest objects available. So if they do trade an asset such as Betances or Miller, it's going to be for nothing short of a big league ready impact player or a package including multiple top 25 prospects. The Yankees are are run by a couple of guys who aren't their father and want to make as much money as possible. They aren't buying a 100 win team. It's more likely that they will follow the Cub model, than the George Steinbrenner model.
