“And if you apply your , the Yankees are doing nothing wrong.”

What specifically are my “own business rules and sense of competition”?
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.
MLB does not provide a level STARTING playing field for its franchises yet somehow continues to get away with it.
The Yankees are undeniably a special franchise and their owners should reap the fiscal benefits of that fact. THAT is capitalism.
HOWEVER, in the spirit of fair play and for the good of MLB, they should NOT be allowed to bring that UNFAIR fiscal advantage onto the field.
But they have to split that market size with the Mets.
