He chocks it up to a fluke since it hasn't happened in 100 years prior.
The days of Billy Martin/George Steinbrenner are probably in the past.
I would think as well he recognizes that the big money is in the percentages, that fielding a great team that consistently gets to the playoffs every season is a lot more lucrative than flying off the handle and exploding the product just because of a fluke.
He tweaks, but he does not delete(s).

They'll have a hard time doing much. They have some serious pitching holes, and their whole team is under contract next year. Most of the guys they'd want to get rid of are completely untradeable with their bloated salaries(ie kevin brown at 15 million!). The Yankees payroll is already 180 million, they will be paying 100 million in revenue sharing/luxury taxes. Their revenue is estimated just over 300 million, that doesn't leave a lot left for new players or a profit. Things aren't looking good for them in the short term.
