I suspect the Yankees payroll will decrease in the next few years as Unit leaves - replaced by Philip Hughes, Shef not picked up (Melky & Abreu are cheaper) and Moose likely will be back but at a lower salary (after the option year is picked up) a la Bernie. I think the Yankees will be willing to overspend for a quality player, just not overspend as much nor as often.

Has very little to do with Swindal, who's primarily business-oriented. From what I gather, though, he was a big advocate of Cashman and urged George to re-sign him.
