I’ll be the asshole who points this out
Jeff Passan last November, complaining about how baseball needs a salary cap:
Be it Matt Holliday, Jason Bay or John Lackey, the Yankees can offer more than anyone and can do so with the backing of a big, fat, knuckle-to-knuckle ring.
Anyone care to guess how many of those players signed with the Yankees? Of course you don’t, because you already goddamn know, because I wouldn’t have written this article otherwise. It’s zero. Lackey signed with the Red Sox and Bay with the Mets, and Matt Holliday signed (boo hiss) with the Fatinals. Yeah, the poor, beleaguered Fat Louis Fatinals, stuck with their below-league-average payroll which makes it impossible for them to compete.
Which is I guess why they totally haven’t won the second-highest number of championships of any franchise in Major League Baseball.
