One has to admit this is a bold move that, if it actually went down would show just how high a price tag the Yankees are putting on winning a world series...
Aside from the outrageous payroll commitment ($60 million to Lowell, $300 million to A-Rod) and the crow they'd have to eat after A-Rod screwed them out of $30 million the Texans would have paid of his salary as part of an extension - there is a logic in that they give up no players - only lots and lots of money - for those two
That would give them the prospects to go out and trade for some more pitching like Santana - and that would be a SERIOUS run for the championship
Of course, we've seen the Yankees spend the most amount of money in baseball for years so maybe nothing changes in the end.
