Looks like they found more $

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 7m

Beltran has $45M 3-yr yankees deal,

[torts]

seeing as how they didnt sign Cano, its no surprise they are spending money on old people

[brewmann04]

yes they are seem to be trying to win another WS somehow watching all these teams spending makes me less impressive on the Brewers season.

I don't really see how this is any different than every other off-season over the last 20 years.

 

In almost all cases, there's only about the same 8-10 teams that can legitimately afford the top tier FA. This hasn't changed and it's been the same teams repeatedly. I don't know what you expect the Brewers to do. The rich get richer in the FA pool and the lower teams have to find the diamonds in the rough.

 

Just curious, but what FA that has signed should the Brewers have signed?

Man, these Yankees would be really great in the mid 2000's.

And by solved we mean paying $7m for 1 expected win above replacement.
