Class of 2024 CG Boogie Fland (NY) Portal to Florida

My point is that the Yankees haven’t been able to outspend everybody and haven’t won a championship since the salary cap restrictions stopped them from doing it… After they spent all that money doubling the previous largest contract ever for A Rod.

They won championships for 90 years, with at least two in 8 of those 9 decades. The engine for this success was buying the best players from cash strapped teams, or, after free agency, paying for the best free agents.

Nobody contests this; Yet you came back with an insipid “but they didn’t win in the 80s“ like that invalidates the other 80 years of their dynasty.

You really ought not spend all your time gloating about the success of the franchise while also suggesting it isn’t largely because of financial strength. It’s disingenuous.

I never mentioned the 80’s bud. The only disingenuous argument being made is the “one decade” comment as you claimed. Turns out there was at least two.

I never mentioned the 80’s bud. The only disingenuous argument being made is the “one decade” comment as you claimed. Turns out there was at least two.

My 80’s comment wasn’t a direct response to you, that was another fan. The 90’s Yankee payrolls weren’t low, despite their core being home grown. From 94-99, they only failed to have the highest payroll once, and that year they were a close second.

Key Free Agent Signings in the 1990s:

• Wade Boggs (1993-1997): A veteran infielder who provided strong hitting and experience.
• Paul O'Neill (1993-2000): A powerful outfielder who hit for both average and power.
• David Cone (1995-2000): A talented pitcher who added to the team's pitching staff.
• Andy Pettitte (1995-2000): A young, promising pitcher who became a key part of the Yankees' pitching rotation.
• Mariano Rivera (1995-2000): While not a free agent signing in the traditional sense (he signed an extended contract), Rivera became a major free agent acquisition, solidifying the Yankees' bullpen.
• Bernie Williams (1991-2000): A talented outfielder who became a key part of the Yankees' lineup.
• Jimmy Key (1993-1996): A reliable pitcher who helped bolster the rotation. ”

Once over spending started costing you draft picks and international signing pool, the Yankees financial advantage was lessened, and they stopped winning. The Yankees paid $201 million in salary that year, second place was the Mets and Cubs paying $135 million. 48% more payroll than second place!

After that season, the Yankees decided to moderate payroll spending, and by 2014 had the same payroll as 2009, and had been passed by the Dodgers as baseball’s top spender.

It isn’t a coincidence that the Yankees haven’t won since they started being average among the top 5 payrolls instead of paying 50% more than second place.

Anyway, if I want to talk baseball, I’ll go to a baseball board. Goodnight

Yeah, you shouldn't talk baseball at all given how riddled with errors that post is.
O'Neill was traded for. Pettie, Rivera, Williams...all came up through the Yankees' system.

- Paul O’Neill was traded for
- Andy Pettite came through their farm system
- Mariano Rivera came through their farm system
- Bernie Williams came through their farm system
- Jorge Posada came through their farm system
- Derek Jeter came through their farm system

PS I don’t think you should go anywhere near a baseball board bud.

Google fail… I asked it about salaries. Oh well. I didn’t remember those details about the team from 30 years ago.

Nobody bothered to address the fact that the Yankees still had the highest payroll during those “home grown” champion years. lol

You guys focused on the error instead of the basic truth. New York has used its financial strength since Babe Ruth to buy the best talent, thus they win more than anybody.

The parallels to NIL and college basketball should be apparent.
