MinnPost - Why the economics of Major League Baseball may never be the sameAnother "the Yankees bought...." article. Funny how the Mets are unable to buy one.
New York's whopping $201 million payroll topped the league this season: 25 percent more than the next biggest, the cross-town Mets; 60 percent more than its closest A.L. rival, the Red Sox; and almost 80 percent more than its World Series opponent, the Phillies. Spending far more bucks while generating more bang from those bucks may be the recipe for more than a championship — for another Yankee dynasty.
At least, that is, until the next sabermetrics whiz kid comes along and figures out another, new way to level the playing field.
