Kenny puts on his teaching cap:
“There are actually about three or four different free agent markets.There are the Yankees, Red Sox and both LA teams. Then there’s a second market where we probably fall in. Then there’s a tier below us, smaller markets, competitive teams who in a particular year want to go for it. Then you have the poorer market teams that are trying to piece things together. Some teams can’t walk in the door and compete with the White Sox. They can’t say, ‘We want this player’ because I’ll say you’re not getting him. It’s the same with the White Sox and the Yankees. I can’t tell Cash (Yankee GM Brian Cashman) that I want (CC) Sabathia.”
