YANKEES MAKE A DEAL WITH THE RIVAL.
The Yankees have made another trade in their re-buidling effort. Today the Yanks have shipped disgruntled Right Fielder Gary Sheffield to the Boston Red Sox. Sheffield is a 4 star veteran, but has a hefty price tag along with him. "Sheff" as he is called by his peers is 36, and makes 13 million dollars per year. His contract is also void at the end of this season, making him a Free Agent. Sheffield is a powerful bat, and should be a good 'rent a player' for Boston; unless they want to pay him 13+ million next season.
In return, the Red Sox send fan favorite ' Big Papi' David Ortiz. Papi, is 29 years old and a 4.5 vet. Ortiz has incredible power, and is very clutch as most Yankee fans know. Ortiz just barely makes over 5 million dollars. His deal will be up in '06.
" When we placed the offer on the table, we didnt think Boston would actually accept it" Said Yankee GM Brian Cashman.
" We really needed another proven slugger on our team. We loved David, and we will love Gary as well. Our outfield is now a lot better because of this trade, besides Ortiz can only DH for us" claims Red Sox GM Theo Epstein.

The Yankees are now beginning to take shape, and that shape is the World Series trophy.
