A billion here, a billion there . . .



A back of the envelope calculation indicates the New York Yankees are now committed to approximately $875 million in guaranteed salaries over the next several years. To wit (all numbers in millions):

ARod: $250

St. Derek: $37

Rivera: $30

Posada: $40

Damon: $13

Matsui: $13

Cano: $22

Sabathia: $161

Burnett: $82

Tex: $180

The way things are going we'll all be bailing them out too in a couple of years.

Whoops, forgot Wang. Throw another five million on that pile -- now there's a real bargain!
