The Yankees may resign Cano in 2014, but if they do they can't pick up anyone else without going over the magic $185 million payroll number. They've been mortgaging the future and trading prospects for so long that the most surprising thing is that they haven't had to pay off to it before now. I think the championship runs for this Yankee incarnation, which we'll call the Jeter-Rivera Yankees, are done. They should spend the next 18 months tearing the team down and starting over. It won't take long to rebuild once the financial flexibility is back. Look at how fast the Red Sox have rebounded.
