on 1), yes, but on a much higher base. People would be laughing at the yankees if they had agreed to take on the full contract, less a couple million (union demand to sox), or even four million/year (sox final proposal). The Yankees got A-rod for $15-$17m/year. That's a lot more attractive than 23-25m/year.
and on 2), yes, and that's why the yankees were in a position to take on even what they did. I wish manny were a baller.

Baseball is so utterly fucked. The more I read, the more I realize why I haven't watched a regular season game since Eddie Murray was the usual home run leader.
Gimme the 86 Mets, 91 Phillies and the 79 Pirates. And give Steinbrenner anal cancer.
It might as well be hockey.
