[0:00]" Well the Celtics win the Bruins win but the Yankees who won the bidding war for. Slugger mark to share of the former California Angel free agent first baseman. Home run and power hitter and the Red Sox apparently was reportedly got their bid up to a 170 billion dollars. But the Yankees forking over a 180 million and so to shares going to be wearing pinstripes and channel four but -- reporter. Dan -- is with us this morning talk about hot stove is a disappointment -- to you as much it is to a lot of fans."
[0:32]" I think it is I think the way a look at an edited the long term disappointment for the Red Sox organization I think that they help this guy could be a staple in the middle of -- up for the next eight years that's why they went so hard after him. I think short term it's not too bad that he expect Michael to come back. From that hip injury that he had a hip surgery Specter of motivated Michael with all that's gone -- with Teixeira so I think the short term they can still be very good baseball team and -- World Series contender. I think long term extra -- Where it hurts for me as far as if you -- a look at the long term future of the Boston Red Sox. "
[1:06]" Near they would that would record had the Red Sox got to -- would require. You listed goal to third base in -- go somewhere else."
[1:13]" Yes exactly so in I think if you ask anybody that it all right I got a lot of responses and emails over the course this hold negotiations that. A lot of people say why are they doing this why they do in this you know Michael the World Series MVP just last year so articulated that short term okay long term I think is where they saw this one guy only turning 29 to start this coming season. It's which it did do as -- gold glove first base I think they saw him. As as the perfect got to put in the mill about -- to go wit all the young players that they continue to develop -- young pitching and everything else and white to disappoint."
[1:47]" The New York papers a couple of them are saying this morning Danny -- It's even possible the Yankees may still be interested in in many revere news."
[1:55]" no question they're opening up a new stadium at that try to make a splash -- spending money because they have money hand over -- states they they get the most revenue lot of any baseball team they already did it now with the new stadium with the luxury suites and just all the long term commitments they have for that they can do whatever they want and they lost a lot of payroll Giambi is gone you know so they've they've had -- much different guys leave the team so they are pretty good shape as far as payroll concerns for next -- that's why they're able to -- spent all -- money. And you know of their they've certainly doing it so they gather to share they had it's about the they have Burnett and add many short again for reasonable price but even then reasonable -- editing for your denies that figure out -- for the Yankees they do whatever they want."
[2:34]" You join John Henry said -- the when he acquired the Reza has been the principal owner that the challenge always was trying to beat the Yankees who had this unlimited amount of money. And they've they've proved -- a meanness sabathia 161 million Burnett. 82 million now to share 180 that's over 400 million dollars. Added two. -- 275. Jeter 189 million it's in -- that there of the Steinbrenner fortunes seems to be bottomless."
[3:02]" Well and they become now again what they were when you know back majorities heyday of the question that now can't they buy championships. You know we've we've seen that before with the Yankees teams sometimes you know in the eighties where they put together all these teams I played free agents out there. And and they didn't perform so that the next question with this baseball team to and they -- can they have the chemistry. After spending all this money I think it. Get the Red Sox the way you -- to compete against them is to build three -- system which they've done it still have all the young pitching they've got Ellsbury to get -- they've got Youkilis so I think if you look at the Red Sox wage -- they they figure they can complement their team now with free agents as opposed to. Biting a World Series and that's kind of what we're senior saudis going to be fascinating to watch this season -- unfold especially at the the Red Sox yankees about to see which team emerges in don't forget the Tampa -- bay -- still young. Still have all their team back -- going to be a very good team to -- yet this point threats I didn't get the sheriff I still think it's going to be a blast to watch 2009."
