you can only go so long without a win before you start losing money regardless of your expenses.

my issue with the yankees is that with as much money as they DO spend they shouldnt be losing to teams they sometimes lose to nor should they go through any sort of dryspells of no championships. i can understand a year here or there but when you spend that kind of money you NEED to be winning everything


Pittsburgh Pirates: $17.1M profit
Baltimore Orioles: $7.7M profit
Cincinnati Reds: $19.3M profit
San Diego Padres: $23.6M profit
Oakland Athletics: $15.4M profit
Cleveland Indians: $29.2M profit

Winning really has nothing to do with it.
