No, we don't have money for Johnny Damon - yet - but we have signed former Cubs general manager Jim Hendry! And he's possesses in his head all the trade secrets behind the Cubs' success, such as... how do you put toner in the copying machine!
OK, look... hiring experienced desk jockeys isn't the worst thing, I guess.... We did it last year with Kevin Towers, now in Arizona (I believe), and I seem to recall us renting others for quick blasts, during their incestuous career romps through MLB. Theoretically, when Hendry finally plugs into a new team - as he inevitably will - he'll become an unofficial friend of the Yankees, and not be inclined to demand our entire farm system when we call about some scrap heap reliever. But I dunno...
We give these guys safe harbor for a few months, which is fine... but when they leave they know everything about our system, top to bottom. And dammit, when Hendry leaves, who will toner into our copying machine?
