However, most of those players ended up in the Bronx, as the New York Yankees, who missed the playoffs for the first time since 1993 last year, spent $423.5 million on CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira. We will also enter the year with two new managers, as former Oakland skipper Ken Macha takes over in Milwaukee, wi |

However, the bad news for the Red Sox is that not only is the team that beat you in the ALCS, the Tampa Bay Rays, in your own division, but your hated rivals, the New York Yankees, have also gained some ground on you this offseason. With the transition from the Manny Ramirez-era complete, new leaders have emerged on this team in reigning AL MVP Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis. And oh by the way David Ortiz is still smack in |

It didn't take a genius to figure out that starting pitching was the team's downfall in 2008, as injuries and inconsistency led to a 59-53 mark from a Yankees' starting rotation that pitched to a 4.58 earned run average - 19th best in the league. Youngsters Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy failed miserably, combining to go 0-8, while Chien-Ming Wang w |

Not only do they have to contend with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, but now the once-perennial doormat Tampa Bay Rays have emerged as a powerhouse in the East. After John Gibbons was fired on June 20, former skipper Cito Gaston, who guided the franchise to its two World Series titles in 1992-93, was brought in to c |

But Sabathia spurned Milwaukee for a massive free-agent contract with the cash- laden New York Yankees in December, and fellow All-Star hurler Ben Sheets was not retained following a season that was cut short by a serious elbow injury in September.
