When you have an unlimited bank account, you tend to spend carlessly. Thats one thing I would like to see the Yankees improve. Spending their money more wisely and getting a better return on their investment. It will be interesting to see how they treat Derek Jeter this off season.
Jeter is coming back, you know that.
