OK, that would.
The Clemens signing was such a horrible move for the Yankees. Not only because they wasted $30 million, but now they aren't even able to punt this season and really set themselves up for future years.
They have a bunch of guys that they could trade away this year and really re-stock some talent for future years.
Pettite would bring in a haul, Rivera probably an even bigger haul. They could get rid of some bad contracts (Damon, Abreu).
I even saw something about Arod for Matt Kemp and James Loney, which would be amazing for both teams involved. But now that they have Clemens, they really can't give up on this year. Which is fortunate for Sox fans. The Yankees have the beginnings of a solid core, and they could go on another 10 year run with a young cheap core of Wang, Cano, Hughes, Clippard, and Kemp/Loney type guys with even bigger upside guys like Chamberlain and Tabata on the horizon.
