They mean business. Cleaned out Miami after Loria's latest financial disaster,

Now grab Melky Cabrerra 2 years 18 mil.

Do they really know what they're getting with him? That seems like a lot.

If they are getting a clean Melky, it's way too much.

Just heard they are bringing John Gibbons back to manage. I guess they figure both the Sox and Yanks are retooling and now would be a good time to bust the bank to make a run. This whole thing seems odd.

This should be a wake up call for the other smaller market teams in the MLB.

Baltimore was withing striking distance of 1st or was in first for the better part of the season; Toronto was tied for last place with the Red Sox at the All Star break and never improved - yet both teams had almost identical attendance figures:
