CHICAGO — Joe Girardi remembers when the Yankees were the evil empire of the baseball world.
Girardi, now a YES Network game ******* yst, was a catcher on championship teams when then-Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was signing the priciest free agents and trading for stars year after year. Girardi was also the Yankees manager when they last won a championship in 2009, the year CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira were brought in to join Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera and company.
Now it's the Dodgers buying and trading for everyone. They won their second consecutive World Series last October, then spent $309 million in the winter to sign outfielder Kyle Tucker and closer Edwin Diaz.
The Dodgers' roster is so deep that it began the season with five aces.
Now it's six.
