Yep I heard that A-rod made $3 million more this year than the entire Pirate's team salary.

MLB needs a salary cap, it's ridiculous.

Yes all the other sports have one. At least the major ones. It does keep it a bit more competitive.
I can't blame the Yanks for doing what they do though cause it's allowed. But on the other hand, this has to be somewhat of a hollow victory. That's like the dude who has thousands of dollars into his car going out and beating a guy who is lucky enough to have a car and then celebrating a victory in a race. It wasn't fair to begin with.

I just saw them jumping around on the field after the win and I'm thinking, "You should have won this series. You have the most money wrapped up in the team. Why the celebration?"

Like the dude who keeps getting promoted in the company cause his dad owns it. Way to go out and EARN it man.

I agree baseball needs a salary cap and salary floor.. I am a fan of a HAVE team but nobody has what the yanks have to spend and even the other haves can't compete with the yanks in FA

For example the yanks told boris last year get your best offer on texieria from boston and who ever else and we will pay whatever it takes to get him..

HOW CAN ANYBODY compete with that..



Even for the other "haves" Boston,Cubs, dodgers, mets, cards for example can not compete for a FA unless the yanks are all set at that position.. If the yanks need the same position your screwed they will get him..


for the "nots" just forget it you have no chance.. your good players will play for one of the big money teams.. If the yanks are all set in that position your good players will end up in boston or the mets or some other big market. The pirates for example have no chance EVER.. That is sad.


For example Mauer will be a yankee.. I dont care how much he loves minnesota.. what will happen with him is when he becomes a FA both boston and new york will be fighting for him and the yanks will win because they will write a blank check for him..

Both boston and the yanks will want him and if boston offers 20 a year they will offer 25.. if the red sox offer 25 they will offer 30.. if they have to they will give him 50 million a year hell if the red sox offered him 250 million a year they will go 300 million a year.
