Then again, look at the Twins and A's, small payrolls but competitive, especially the A's! The freakin' Marlins were in contention up until the last couple weeks!
No I never said they were breaking any rules. I did say that I don't have to like it.
And it's not that other teams are too cheap, it's that the Yanks (and a few others) are driving the price up to where no one else can compete. You can get indignant about that comment all you want, but truth is truth. I love the game of baseball, but that aspect of it is really screwed up, maybe beyond repair.
