Yankees only team not to sign free agent. History: Jackson, Winfield, Giambi, Matsui, Sheffield, Teixeira. Wednesday, January 27, 2016
Late Yankee owner George Steinbrenner must be turning over in his grave. Spinning. Here are the big bopper free agents to sign with the Yankees over the years and their age in their first Yankees season, none younger than 29. All did very well.
Reggie Jackson (31), Dave Winfield (29), Jason Giambi (31), Hideki Matsui (29), Gary Sheffield (35), Mark Teixeira (31).

Hal Steinbrenner, what will you do with the $217 million you are NOT paying David Price? Friday, December 4, 2015
Alternate title: What's more likely to have George Steinbrenner turning over in his grave: paying David Price $217 million or letting the Red Sox do it? I regard this as a rhetorical question.
