Geez two super teams that out spent the rest of the league, yawn.
Large Markets using the significantly larger customer base to have exceedingly high salaries compared to other teams, go look look at what those two teams spent on salaries compared to the others...First what do you mean by outspent ?
The MLB is the only US and Canadian professional sport that doesn't have a salary cap -- so large market teams can buy their way to skilled players in ways that the smaller markets cannot -- as such it creates the ability to "Super Team" by simply having a huge budget -- which isn't to way to have an enjoyable sporting competition IMHO.And second do we expect that dynasty franchises like NYY and LAD shouldn't use their advantage ?
