Yesterday, the Yankees and Cisco Systems held a press conference to talk about some of the new technology that will go into the new Yankee Stadium. But, afterwards, Hal Steinbrenner discussed the free agent market. Nothing ground breaking, but here's what he said:

"We're going to do what we do every year, and that's try to field a championship team," co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner said on Tuesday. "That's not going to change. We know that we've got some weaknesses, and we're going to fix the problems as best we can. If that means spending money, obviously that means spending money. The philosophy has not changed."

"Everyone has a price, we do and free agents do. ... We're going to pursue the market aggressively as we do every year. Our philosophy on that has not changed."

"Decisions haven't completely been made yet," Steinbrenner said. "We're going to figure out everything by Friday. By Friday we're going to know the direction we're going. (In Thursday's meeting) we're going to decide who we're putting offers on first."
