All along, the New York Yankees have expressed their efforts to reduce their wages in 2014 to $ 189 million, is just a goal. More and more, this is a major source of the league do not believe they will reach.
"They will be more than 189," a source familiar with the plans of the Yankees said. "They know that, everyone knows it, you can not run a team of $ 3 billion in savings of millions of dollars in intent."
Logic Capacity: Yankees is the greatest American sports brand, has been and poor flowers roster injured this season, they may have suffered a year-on-year fall. Yankees Name diluted several years will be necessary with a huge monetary benefits - a source said the Yankees no longer believe in the future to them, even if they are dipped below the $ 189 million.

Although it is expected that the New York money hiding in the tens of millions, which is not nearly as large as the Yankees had hoped, the prognosis is to promote the team plans to re-adjust, sources said. Yankees expected to money received will not only reduce the luxury tax rate, but in terms of the collective bargaining agreement, known as a complex market disqualified rebate.
MLB revenue-sharing program works like this: Every team in the Alliance tax at 34% of the local fiscal revenue, the pool of money, and evenly distributed. In addition, as a means to reduce income and small-market teams to funnel more money, which uses a variable tax rate, forcing the team big market sources of income, to pay above 34%.
Deficiencies in the system are some teams in the upper half of the size of the market is not in the highest income, which means that as a small market and large market teams get revenue sharing dollars. In recent years, these teams, including Washington, Atlanta and Toronto. From the start of the season, this team is authorized to take back to the big market teams - 25% in 2013, 50% in 2014, from 2016 to 2015, 75% and 100%. The fly in the ointment: the need for a qualified team under the luxury tax threshold.

Consider, the money will be allocated in proportion to the contributions, the Yankees their rebate is expected to significantly - 2014-16 up from $ 45 million, if they maintain a season salary of less than $ 18.9 billion, according to two sources.
An obstacle: the success of Washington from the called payee club thrust payer. Warriors, despite a bad TV contract, Blue Jays, and the old stadium, not far behind. Miami Marlins expected to be the payer, payee status quickly restored. Except in the game of economic change in the coming years, the rebate money, the sources said, did not exist, and the Yankees almost no strong power.
Market disqualification rebate on assumptions did not hold, "one American League executive said. "The pool will be less than we expected much more."
More well-known part of the Yankees plan relates to the luxury tax, and it may not be significant enough savings to push the dollar or less, $ 1,890,000 of the team itself. Because they are repeat offenders, the Yankees how every dollar they spend 50% more than $ 189 billion in tax. If they dipped in 2014 under the threshold, the tax will be reset, and received only 17.5% and 30% in the next two years.

A hypothetical $ 205 million in wages in 2014-2016, the Yankees will pay a total of $ 24 million luxury tax. The under utilized $ 189 million in '14 and '15 and '16 to go back on it, they will pay $ 8.4 million. The savings are more significant at higher non-farm payrolls. $ 2.2 million salary equal to the luxury tax payment of $ 46.5 million in the next three years, jumping to $ 220 million dollars less than $ 1,890,000 a year, more than 30 million U.S. dollars will save the Yankees.
All of this in the midst of transition is different from any of the Yankees have seen in the last two decades. Even if they are expected expansion of large-scale collective free agent signed Robinson Cano and thinning farm system left some holes.

Their current contract in 2014, the situation looks like this: Big Three - CC Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira - Yankees $ 73.9 million in 2014 taxable wage commitments. Ichiro Suzuki cost about $ 10 million to $ 650 million, David Robertson and Brett Gardner in arbitration. Kitt exercise a player option of $ 8,000,000, it will actually be counted as $ 14 billion dollars - an average value of $ 8,000,000, plus his contract and pay him 480,000 yuan, the first three seasons . Including about $ 11 million in player benefits, the Yankees have been $ 115.4 million pre-Cano, who also directed the season, more than 25 million U.S. dollars.
Even in the Yankees hand Kano a huge signing bonus, can also be calculated in proportion to the contract period - he could receive $ 20 million bonuses and salaries by 5 million U.S. dollars, an 8-year contract, for example, will cost only 750 million U.S. dollar against 2013 ($ 5 million annual salary, plus $ 2,500,000 $ 20,000,000 eighth) - they need their roster to fill in the rest of the tax rate. It will not be easy to do on the cheap.
Unless they are inclined to re-San Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart, and they need a catcher. According to their ankles to Jeter and Rodriguez hips, you may need a new arable land the left side. Unless Vernon Wells continues to blow, they will focus on Gardner with a new pair of outfielder. As well as the pitching rotation, Sabathia and his fastball weakened, including free agent (Hiroki Kuroda, Hughes, Andy Pettitte) by a question mark (Ivanova, Michael Pineda, Manny Banuelos), added.

Due to the failure to develop a farm system, affecting near major league players, the Yankees faced with a difficult choice: to re-enter the free agent market, the aging and injured players not only to leave them, but is expected to grow larger based on the edge of the wave of local television revenue or work, a place of general manager Brian Cashman has already proven itself particularly adept.
Two options are not particularly good, top Yankees officials make mistakes more likely to win than the mean fiscal responsibility - although the win is not always with the cost of the dollar, high employment, it is possible to reproductive success.
"This is a good idea to try" a Yankees official said. "But deep down, we are very know this is not going to happen."
