Now that the second half of the Major League Baseball season is upon us, prognosticators are saying that the Yankees have a very real chance to overtake the Rays for a playoff spot let's take a look at what happens to this proud franchise once the season is over.
No matter what way you look at it, the Yankees will have money to spend. And now that they will get to use the new Yankee Stadium and all the maintenance costs and deduct from the revenue they have to pay they will only have more to spend. Also, the Yankees are getting a lot of contracts (mostly bad) off of their books.

I'd expect them to TRY for guys like Teixeira, Sabathia, and K-rod, but there are 29 other teams trying for them. You're right, if those guys are going for the biggest contracts, theres none bigger than the yankees, so it makes sense that they'll get Tex or CC. If the Yanks sign K-rod, it wont be as a setup man. He's on pace to set the single season saves record, i dont think you can think of him as a closer of the future to Rivera.

I think Vlad Gurrero would be absolutley perfect for the yanks. he would play right field in place of bobby abreau and would be that big right handed bat in the lineup. perfect fit.

no giambi because posada might need to play first/dh and damon/matsui will also need dh spots. cc sabathia is a big fella and is dangerous to sign for the long term deal he will be seeking. with the bullpen being dominant this year, i doubt they will want rodriguez from Anaheim. Expect pettite to come back on his usual one year contract and same with mussina. that will make it wang, joba, pettite, mussina and hughes/kennedy could fight for the final spot. i do think vlad guerrero will patrol right field for the yankees.
