Yes, technically the Yankees are doing nothing wrong, they are just leveraging their huge market size into a vastly asymmetrical and unfair payroll asymmetry, because MLB ALLOWS them to.

But they have to split that market size with the Mets.

Well, that aside, are you also good with the huge payroll advantage that teams like the Yankees are allowed to bring to the table?

No one is begrudging the Yankees their capitalistic success in their own market vis a vis the Metropolitans, it is the distortion of the fundamental concept of an initial level playing field for all teams.
