That being said, i still dont understand how the yankees will single handedly destroy baseball if theres no cap. Why not the other teams whos pay rolls are at or above 200M (eg Mets, Boston)
Because the Yankees tend to set the market for free agents. The ridiculous contact CC got sets the market for other free agent pitchers. Some Joe-schmo that was worth 2 million a year is now going to get a lot more because of the market shift. Good for the Yankees for having the $$ to spend...but it will hurt baseball...I guess no one remembers the labor stoppage that happened in the last decade....

With that said....they look good on paper...but so have the loser Mets....just ask the Mets and their scumbag loser fans what having a good team on paper gets you. :choking sound:
