Well lets look at it like this. Can we agree they spent pretty much 80 million more than any other team? That is 4 , 20 mill a year players they have that other teams can't afford. I know the Sox are one of the have's but just doesn't seem fair to the majority of all the other have not's. I know it is what it is but a fair and level field as far as even a min. spending limit would make for a more balanced and level playing field. I know they play within the rules and I find this more of a baseball problem more than a Yankee thing. They won and I am not trying to pale their accomplishments. They did it fair and square and having 4 , 20 mil does not guarantee the trophy, but it sure helps. Imagine living in Cleveland and watching Lee against Sabbathia and say why can't we get players like that.
