What an offseason for the New York Yankees. After spending more than $350 million on hurlers CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett, they have reportedly agreed to a 8-year deal worth upwards of $170M with first-baseman Mark Teixeira. Its quite suprising, as the front-runners for Tex's services to begin the day were the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals.Mark made it clear he wanted to choose his destination before christmas, and the Yankees allowed him to grant this wish. The move solidifies the middle of the Yankees order and will seemingly push Nick Swisher back onto the bench role.
