Uh.....the Yankees Won't sign Albert. The Yankees have Mark Teixeira at 1B and already have a payroll that tops $200 million...The Red Sox might jump on the chance, but are just about maxed out on payroll @ $170 million a year. Plus they are set with Youkilis until 2013 and just picked up Adrian Gonzalez, and are working on a long term deal with him. So one way or another they wil be set up at 1B. Neither team will be signing him to a DL spot either. Albert is too valuable as a 1B to just let him hit, and I don't think #5 would be happy being a DL.

The Cubs will have the cash, along with the Mets, Braves, Dodgers, Oakland, and Angels. Not many teams will be able to afford Albert. The small markets might try try, but would only have him with a true AA team around him. He won't go for that either.
