Ever since Larry Lucchino gave us the ominous but rather fitting moniker of "Evil Empire," the Yankees have been largely unable to spend their way into the World Series.
The Yankees long run at or near the top of the American League seems likely to come to an end next year. The reality of the situation is that the Yankees have gotten old.
WFAN's Jon Heyman and Sweeny Murti have learned the Bombers' front office appears to have no intention of making wholesale changes. In fact, it looks like they are about to offer some of the postseason culprits a lifeboat.
So many people say to me that I came along in baseball 20 years too early. They say, 'Imagine what you'd make if you played today.' My answer is simple and has two parts: I'd be Alex Rodriguez, and I'm glad I'm not.
"(Rodriguez's benching) had nothing to do with anything but what I felt was our best opportunity that day," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I just think he was one of our guys that was struggling, like a lot of our other guys."
"I can't imagine that," Anthony said in regard to A-Rod's situation. "I can't imagine that. I just feel bad for A-Rod, man. I don't like to see nobody go through that. It's tough."
Rodriguez's contract is an albatross that the Yankees are going to be forced to live with. The Bombers made their bed with A-Rod, and now they're going to have to lie in it.
