But it isn't solely based on historical success so you can't just say "well, the Yankees worked hard to make winning a constant in their history, they should be able to benefit from that". The biggest factor contributing to their financial empire is that the fact that they happen to play in the center of the universe, the largest and richest market in the country. No other team will ever be able to compete with that, to create revenue streams large enough to overcome not playing in New York City.

Their financial empire has definitely been strengthened by their historical success. The fact that they can use their financial empire to create a competitive disadvantage for every other team is a fault of the system.

Not often you see a contradiction in consecutive sentences. The deal DIRECTLY lead to the 2007 title. You can debate hypotheticals about what would've happened if the deal had never been made but a strong argument can't be made based solely on hypotheticals when the opposing point of view can just point to the 2007 title. You may have a leg to stand on if Hanley has led the Marlins to a playoff run at some point but it hasn't happened.

Far too many hypotheticals involved in the argument vs. real facts.
-
I don't see how a convincing argument can be made that if we kept Hanley, we would've won at least 50% of the WS played since the trade happened.

Poor choice of words then, I didn't mean to imply that the Yankees cheated to win this year. They just bought 2/3 of their playoff rotation and their top hitter. I truly admire the core they developed to win their four titles from '96 to 2000
-
just my opinion, plus the fact that he has just one-year remaining on his deal as opposed to a two-year commitment

It's not a joke or sarcasm. It's pointing out bias. If that means a ban, so be it.

I'd say Lowell has more value this off-season than he did last off-season and it was widely speculated that the Sox had found a landing spot for Lowell provided they had signed Teixeira

Well, as it stands today he's the Opening Day SS
-
I only consider the last one bought, the rest are legitimate
-
I challenge any Yankee fan anywhere to counter a Red Sox fan's argument of "the Yankees' spending is too insane" without mentioning Dice-K and the blind bidding process
