When it comes to the offseason, what the New York Yankees are up to is always the hot topic. On Monday night, YES Network sat down with owner Hal Steinbrenner and addressed some situations the team will have to face.
The luxury tax
The discussion started with the luxury tax issue, as the Yankees are known for breaking the payroll threshold. For a long time their budget increased every year, as they did whatever it took to put a championship team on the field.
Starting in 2003, the Yankees paid the luxury tax for 15 consecutive years, paying a total of $341 million.
