Like it or not, MLB became more of a business then a game years ago. Not saying I agree with that, just stating a fact. And if you apply your own business rules and sense of competition, the Yankees are doing nothing wrong.

Agree. The Texas Rangers let Texiera, A-Rod and Pudge go to teams who would pay them more $$$ and then used the money saved to acquire talented players who have helped the Rangers to again get into the playoffs. Another World Series on the horizon for the Rangers!

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.
