An Official "No" to Manny in Pinstripes

After signing three type A free agents (Sabathia, Burnett and Teixeira), people around baseball thought the the Yankees actually could sign another. Maybe even Manny Ramirez? However, those hopes were completely diminished today as it turns out that there is a rule against such a signing. That is that after signing 3 type A free agents, a team cannot sign another type A or B free agent, unless it is one of their own team. This means that next season, there will be no Manny Ramirez. No Adam Dunn. And no all the others. Sorry Manny fans, it's not happening.
