The craziest thing is that the Yankees’ payroll will be about the same (or less) than last year with all the contracts they have coming off the books.

Baseball should have a set cap and teams shouldn't be allowed to play if they're over that number.<br/><br/>-T Baseball needs cap rules that follow those of football, none of this “fine for going over” business.
