At least I know the Yankees and Sox are stupid. Makes me feel better as an Orioles fan.

au contrare, I think that the Sox and Yankees were pretty smart on this one. Certainly far from stupid. They avoided depleting themselves of young reasonably priced talent, and each have fairly good rotations anyway. This is one of the few times when the Yankees in particular have been smart and realized that even with a ridiculous payroll, $25mil a year x6 would be a big burden, especially when they were high on their own farm products. So far the Twins look the worst out of the deal.
