The Fleecing Starts Today
The annual baseball free agent buying spree officially kicks off today. Teams are now free to overwhelm players with cash and considerations.
As a fan and let me state I'm a huge baseball fan, because I hate the NFL and can't stand the NBA, I hope all the owners choke on the money they toss around. You'd think some of these teams and I have to include my beloved Yankees as being in on the government bailout plan (TARP). Has anyone told these morons what it's really like out on the streets. Rich and poor alike are getting slammed. Who's going to think about laying down hundreds of hard earned dollars to catch a game next year? How many beers and hot dogs do they think they'll sell?
Let me answer that. No one. We are in a recession bordering on a depression and the Yankees are thinking of making a $140 Million offer to C.C. Sabathia. It's insanity and it had better stop quick or we'll have teams heading the way of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. Gone.

We're about to enter a period of controlled growth (read: govt regulation). What will happen to free agency then?
