1.4 million -- Dollars the Yankees are on the hook for with Jose Canseco, minimum, for his services the rest of the season. Canseco will make about $900,000 for the rest of this season and has a buyout clause of $500,000 for 2001. Otherwise the Yanks would have to pay him $4 million for 2001. The Yanks' most recent spending spree inflated their payroll to approximately $108 million. |
