Because we didn?t already think the Dodgers were crazy enough, Joel Sherman reports today that they asked the Yankees about Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia.
This was all part of a plan in which they basically called everyone asking if they wanted to unload their albatross contracts. Because apparently now, trading for highly inefficient contracts is the new inefficiency:
But it also is what led to a phone conversation with the Yankees about Sabathia (four years at $99 million left after this season) and Teixeira (four years, $90 million left after this season). The Yanks told Dodgers executives they had no interest in moving either.
The Yankees would be insane to let Sabathia go, but if you?re Brian Cashman, man, don?t you put Teixeira on waivers, let the Dodgers claim him and then just let him go? ?I mean, he?s probably got a couple of rebound seasons left in him, but I?d be shocked if he had even one season worth anything close to the $22.5 million he?s owed for each of the next four years, let alone four of them.
As for the Dodgers, I guess you can?t get anything you want if you don?t ask for it. Why contracts like the ones they?re taking on and asking about are something they want, however, are another question.
