Those teams have money. The owners decide to pocket it and try the money ball equation. However, as we all know, having the largest payroll doesn’t guarantee a WS trophy, let alone playoffs. Yankees have changed their approach and are concentrating on the younger players they have and I’m so glad they didn’t get Harper/Manny ‘Johnny Hustle’ Machado.
