Now that the Yankees appear set in their ways to avoid paying free agent superstars, it’s time to move on. I said in my piece last Friday that I plan to be petty towards the Yankees’ front office and the New York sports media if the season doesn’t work. I meant every word.
Spring training has begun, however, and it’s time to move forward and root root root for the home team. If they don’t win, it will indeed be a shame. And I was ready to move on — I really was. Then I saw a section of the vaunted New York sports media talk about one specific point last weekend: that it’s time for Yankees fans to move on from George Steinbrenner.
