Yankees vs. Red Sox

The Yankees are sports greatest franchise. Every year they are out to put together the best team. This means that they are not afraid to spend money to get the games best players. They have given monster contracts to land players in the past and continue to throw out these ridiculous amounts of money. Alex Rodriguez signed a 10 year $275 million contact in 2007 and C.C. Sabathia signed a 7 year $161 million contract in 2008. Red Sox fans are quick to remind Yankee fans how much money they spend. However, this offseason, it is the Red Sox who have taken over as the big spender. Carl Crawford signed for 7 years $142 million and they also traded for Adrian Gonzalez who is one of the leagues best first basemen. There are no excuses for Red Sox fans this year if they don't get it done.
