For Sale


As we get ready for the last month at Yankee Stadium, baseball wise it won't be a September to remember.


After watching the Bombers lose another series--this time to Toronto--it looks like for the first time in 14 years there will not be any October Baseball in the Bronx. It is hard to believe as a Yankee fan. I am ok with that after all that has happened this year. And as a big fan I am now starting to see what my team will do in the off season.


I am sure there will be some big changes. But this Yankee fan feels that we should start the sale now. With the August 31 deadline coming up soon it is very hard to get players through waviers. But sometimes when a player is making a lot of money teams won't block the move so much.


For example: Johnny Damon (pictured making one of his two 8th inning errors against Toronto) , with one year left on his salary, is from Florida. How about sending him to the Rays? I am sure Boston would block it and maybe Damon would veto it as a 10-5 guy but it is worth a shot. The same for Pudge Abreu and Giambi and a few others who probably won't be back next year. This is coming from a Yankee fan: sell, not buy. Who would of thought it? Just an idea, Brian Cashman.
