The Rangers picked up ~$50 million, depending on what part of his salary that applied to, and how much the Yanks would be willing to pick up of the remainder, it should be discussed. Although I'd remain on the sideline if it's the full contract (throw Pierre, Jones, Neifi, Rusch, Hendry and Baker together and I might talk). To my knowledge, the Yankees are paying: 2006- 19 mil 2007- 20 mil 2008- 19 mil 2009- 20 mil 2010- 21 mil
