Said Steinbrenner: "No team I've ever seen in baseball has been decimated like this. It would kill any team. Imagine the Red Sox without [Josh] Beckett and [Jon] Lester. Pitching is 70 percent of the game. Wang won 19 games two straight years. Chamberlain became the most dominating pitcher in baseball. You can't lose two guys like that."
etc.
My response:
Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury: ~$1M a year each
Jonathan Papelbon and Jon Lester: ~$1M a year each
Watching the MF Yankees waste over $1 billion on payroll the last seven seasons with zero rings to show for it: priceless
