Correct, I agree with you, the Yankees BUY championships. Other franchises like the Cardinals, Giants, etc. earn it on the field.

They might buy a piece or 2, but nowhere close to the Yankees blank checkbook. Thus, so fun watching them fail. Especially 19 of the last 20 years, and about to be 20 of 21. Mets already 21 of 21 failure seasons and counting. Thank you San Diego.

Let's go Astros!

Aren’t you supposed to want your best players to stay with your team? Don’t you want your owner to pay them? I don’t know what you’re looking for your own team to do.

Aren't you disappointed your team continues to overpay in the market and doesn't produce results?

Results like winning the division? Getting a first round bye in the playoffs? Yeah I’m really disappointed.

Let's revisit your lack of disappointment after the Astros visit your town.

It won’t change the results of the regular season. I understand you don’t like the Yankees but shouldn’t your principles apply to any team? Or is it just the Yankees? In another thread you’re advocating for Trout to sign with the Dodgers while saying the Yankees buy championships in this one.

So much for long haired starting pitchers. Yikes.
