Were they real contenders or not? If the plan was to go for it — and that was the strategy heading into the All-Star break — would Hal Steinbrenner allow the club to exceed the $210 million luxury tax payroll to upgrade; if not, the pool of talent to pick from would shrink unless Brian Cashman could move salary and/or give up more prospect capital to get a trade partner to eat money. Should a team that was eight games out of first and 4.5 out of the second wild card only make trades that center on adding players with control beyond this year, since this season was looking so bleak?More Related News
