Dollars and sense on the Santana deal

Wanted to bring this story on Yahoo Sports to your attention.

It’s a financial breakdown of a possible Santana deal by Vince Gennaro. Vince is a Westchester resident (and a reader here) who wrote “Diamond Dollars: The Economics Of Winning Baseball.”

Vince has worked with Major League teams on how best to include economics in trade and free-agent decisions. His work is fascinating.

His breakdown reveals that a trade for Santana does not make financial sense for the Yankees. It’s an interesting read.
