Nady isnt exactly old, he is like in his late 20s, only a few yers older than Teix, and much cheaper. There wont be much of a market for him anyway until deadline, and since when are the Yanks a Deadline seller?
THere is no way they can sign Teix.
DO you really think they will hand out 2 125+ million dollar contracts? Plus 50 million to Lowe and Burnett. Not in their plans.

It all depends on how long Lowe wants. If its a two year deal I would love that. Maybe 3 years.
I know Nady isn't old, but he has one year left on his contract. I think they could get a solid return for him. I mean, whatever team that misses out on Manny and the other corner outfielders could definitely use him. I know it won't happen but it would be smart.
Money wise they could sign all 4 guys and that will bring them back to their payroll last year. Obviously they aren't getting all 4 though. They won't get all three of those pitchers anyway.
I just think Cashman will focus on all pitching this offseason and while pitching is the priority, the offense is a problem as well. There are so many question marks offensively next year it isn't even funny.
Posada coming back from surgery is a question. Swisher and Cano are question marks coming off the worst seasons of their career. Matsui is coming off knee surgery. Jeter has been declining a bit every year. Nobody knows if Gardner can hit ML pitching and Nady has had one good year, and he really trailed off towards the end of the year.
Teixeira would really solidify the lineup for a while along with A-Rod.
