from the boston herald.
The Red Sox addressed a number of holes this offseason without breaking the bank in any one area. They essentially spent $3 million each at second base, shortstop and center field; starter Josh Beckett will likely cost them in the neighborhood of $4.5 million.
Know what that means? It means the Sox will pay Mark Loretta, Alex Gonzalez, Coco Crisp and Beckett an estimated $13.5 million, which is essentially what the New York Yankees will be paying Johnny Damon, who will average $13 million per year over the length of his new four-year contract.
In addition to that, according to Major League Baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Yankees have to pay an additional 40% to any added salary over the Luxury Tax, which means that Johnny Damon is actually costing New York approximately $18 million in 2006.

yeah, the yankees still suck.
