Yankees plan to stay under the luxury-tax threshold

[ohms_law]

Hal Steinbrenner actually said something about this last week I think, but the NY Times put up a good article about it this morning: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/03/sp...austerity.html

I think Cashman makes a great point:
“It was very difficult when it was just open-ended,” Cashman said. “It would change on a daily basis. ‘Don’t lose the player, at all costs.’ That’s not a good negotiating position to be in, and if it’s very vocal at the same time? If it’s public and private, you’re basically in the position of getting rolled.”

Good stuff.
