Yankees GM Brian Cashman Nothing More Than an Infinite Checking Account

"As the payroll began to launch skyward like an Apollo mission, the Yankees
were left with disappointment after disappointment from their acquisitions.

It technically all started with the signing of an unnecessary replacement for
Tino Martinez—a still productive offensive player, unequaled defender, and fan
favorite.

Jason Giambi quickly became a one-dimensional slugger and such a defensive
liability that he could not even make throws taught on Little League diamonds.

This signing occurred before the era of laissez-faire I am referring to, but it
signaled a changing of the guard in how the Yankees would do business. It became
all about big names, big legacies, and even bigger contracts."
