I have this impression that you can reset your luxury tax if you stay under one year then the penalties scale up from year to year if you go over in subsequent years

This article answered my question best and offers insight into Yankees strategy - lately, the Headley trade.
Yankees are looking to reset back to zero and pay a lesser tax after they sign Harper
(and Kershaw - kidding ... random grenade)
The tax is 20% 1st year offender, 30% 2nd year, 50% 3rd year. There are nasty progressive surtaxes too.
Harper in NY with real media and fan interest will be a colossal endorsement windfall for the guy too.
Collectively a billion dollars over 10 years???
Suck it Dodgers & Red Sox. Red Sox are the Cleveland Browns of baseball front offices
