I'm sorry, I just can't stand the Yankees. I don't like any team that constantly has to "buy" their team. Feels sorry for the little market teams like my Reds who can't afford to pay all those high salaries! Plus NY, Boston etc. get WAY too much media time also!
I think the time of buying a team is over for the Yanks. They will always offer deserving players big salaries (Joey Votto got a big one from the Reds iirc) but as far as spending insane amounts of money in the offseason, that time is over.
And besides, there's plenty of small market teams that do great. Look at the A's, leading or in the top five in every offensive category and with a team of virtual unknowns. Tampa Bay is another good example. Its about building a farm system. That's one thing I've noticed the Yankees doing more and more. They won't trade their big name prospects.
