Are the Yankees in a bind?

The Yankees are never in a bind -- When they make gigantic mistakes, they just open up their wallet and buy their way out of their problems.

This is why I hate NY sports fans, despite being one. Because they forget about things like this. Without A-Rod, I don't think NY beats Minnesota in the 2009 ALDS, let alone wins the World Series.

They want Cano and Granderson and Swisher and A-Rod gone like this is the NFL and they can just be cut. Cano deserves the beating he received in the media for his historically awful play in the postseason, but good luck finding a 2B who averages .300/30/100 while playing good defense.
