Dan BrettaI should have clarified and said for the first half of the 20th century on the Yanks and Cards...I do agree that the Yankees used the KC team as a farm team, but that was in the 1950s and 60s.
I did say there were two ways to win...buy the talent or develop the talent. There is a definite disparity in who can afford what, but this has ALWAYS existed in MLB and it probably always will. If you ask me parity sucks and leagues that have a salary cap have become boring. Even NCAA football has become boring since they limited scholarships and spread out the talent.
And Carl Pohlad tried to retract his own team...that's 'nuf ced right there.
