wtf? no, this is absolutely not true, i can say that with 100% certainty. i have no idea where you have this idea. they are not george steinbrenner's team anymore. Hal is way more frugal and has said he thinks they can win staying under $200 million.
besides, they have a ton of outfielders already.
