This will be forever known as the year they bought the World Series.

I was thinking this is one of the worst Yankees teams in history (2001-2009) since it took them 9 years with the highest payroll in baseball to buy a world series title. 9 years of 180+ million dollar payroll equals more than $1.6 BILLION of mediocrity. If they don't win they should be ashamed of themselves.

To me.... the whole thing is pretty cheapened. I guess you can buy championships. They bought the top two free agent pitchers and the top free agent bat and retained their own stars by offering them contracts that no one would ever match. Sure, there are other big market teams, like Philly, but the Yankees payroll is still tens of millions of dollars greater than theirs. They get the first choice at any free agents. They bought a playoff birth and and World Series. It just feels cheap to me. Still the greatest game in the land, but i wish it was more fair, to me, it feel fake.

More crying from the anti Yanks.
Sure they have money and an owner willing to dig deep to put the best team he could on the field. There are other owners with lots of money, but they have deep pockets, cry on their shoulders. At one time their were three teams from the big city, two left and one stayed. Those other two teams could have played in the big market city of NY, they chose to go, the Yanks stayed and they play within the rules, the system as it is in the game today, nothing wrong with that. It goes in the book as 40 pennants and 27 WS. Thats what will be remembered, no one will even consider all the crying going on here. Your wasting your time, all the talk means nothing, it's over.

The Yankee$ may play "within the rules" but that doesn't make the rules fair or right. There is no other team in baseball that could have dropped almost half a billion dollars on free agents this off season without so much as a second thought. Until all revenues are shared by all teams the system is a joke and the titles are tainted. Period.

Yes the yankees will always be in the running for any FA and rumours will always say they are involved but plenty of other clubs that need player X more would be willing to pay for them. Its only when the yankees go 5 or 10m a year over what everyone thinks a player is worth that they are guarenteed to get that player.

Are the 2009 Yankee$ the team with the highest payroll to ever win a championship? I haven't looked it up, but I'm willing to go with it. So now they have two records--the team with the highest payroll to not make the playoffs (2008) and this year's new record. Back-to-back accomplishments of sorts

The Yankees business model certainly isn't anything new. Does anyone have the payroll numbers for Chelsea, Man City, Real Madrid, etc?
