Other than a few flukes here and there, you basically have the same 3 or 4 teams shelling out ridiculous amounts of money every year for the best players. If you do happen to develop your own talent, once they are good you simply lose them to one of the 3 or 4 teams. The lack of loyalty is staggering, I don't even know who's on what team from year to year because no one sticks. It's only going to get worse as seats get more empty like they steadily have the last few decades. they should just eliminate 70% of all teams and they probaly will soon, as younger generation just doesn't care about baseball.

The Tampa Bay Rays this year disagree

A fluke if there ever was one, let's just see how much of that young talent actually stays there in the next couple of years. It will only prove my point further. Until baseball gets a salary cap like every other sport, I'll never take it seriously.

when the yankees were winning their world series in the 90's it was based around their core home grown guys- bernie williams, derek jeter, jorge posada, mariano rivera. People just look at how much money we spend, but the core of our teams are almost always home grown.

Report: Sabathia To Sign With Yanks


New York Post - Prized free agent pitcher CC Sabathia has decided to wear pinstripes, according to a published report by the New York Post on its web site Wednesday.

Sabathia has accepted a six-year, $140 million contract offer from the Yankees.

If the figures are accurate, it is the largest contract ever given to a pitcher.

The decision came late Tuesday night after Yankees GM Brian Cashman left the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas to speak with Sabathia and his wife Amber in San Francisco.

A-Rod and CC on the same payroll

and 161 million dollars!!!!!!!!! Holy crap! That's a lot of freaking money. Once again the Yankees prove that overpaying (even for good players) is the name of the game in the MLB today.

Nobody, or team HAS to offer any pitcher 161 million dollars. It's ludacris, it's insanity, and it's ruining baseball. Enjoy!
