Break’d News: The Rich Get Richer

In the last year, the Yankees have gone out and acquired such players as CC Sabathia, Nick Swisher, Wade Boggs, A.J. Burnett, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, and Javier Vazquez. And that’s just who I can think of off the top of my head without looking it up*. Within that timeframe, they’ve also managed to win a World Series title. You’d think after all that, they’d rest on their laurels, whatever the fuck that means. But no, not these guys. For today, they’ve gone out and trumped everything they’ve done in the last year by announcing the signing of America’s greatest living ballplayer, Mr. Marcus Thames.

According to Jon Heyman’s twitter, it’s a minor league deal worth $900,000 if he makes the team. If he makes the team? Pffft. That 900k is as good a guarantee as you’ll see in this world. The rest of the American League can pack up their shit, I guess.
