Joel Sherman said the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira with an eye on next year's free-agent class. In the interest of brevity, the class is pretty barren, save for Matt Holliday.
It also didn't hurt that the Yankees prevented him from going to Boston.
Sherman also says the Yankees will look to trade at least one of the following: Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Xavier Nady and Nick Swisher. All but Swisher are in their walk years.

Back when TEX was first drafted, Boston spread the rumor around that he wouldn't sign so he fell down to I think the 4th round. Then Boston nabbed him and tried to sign him for a lowball sheeeet salary. Well, of course he refused and went to college and when he entered the draft again was a first round pick. He never forgot how Boston trashed him. Paybacks a Biatch, ain't it ya Bean~Eaters! YB
