Well, well. Brian Cashman snuck out for some secret last-minute Christmas shopping, and came home with Mark Teixeira. Yankee fans are ecstatic.
And I'm stunned. I really didn't think there was room on the team (or in the budget) for Teixeira.
But not as stunned as Pete Abe, who has been telling his readers for weeks that they were stupid if they thought the Yankees would sign Tex. Indeed, as recently as this afternoon, he posted an article about why the Yanks couldn't afford Teixeira. Less than an hour and a half later, news of the signing broke.
I wonder if the Yankees will now trade Nady or Swisher. It doesn't seem like there's room enough on the team for all of them.
