All teams (owners) are rich. It's a question of how much the owners want to spend on fielding a championship level team. As long as you have 4-5 teams with owners who are spendthrift dreamers and fans of both baseball and their cities, that's good enough for competitive balance. Let the junior varsity teams play each other during the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, I'm perfectly fine watching the juggernauts thrash it out.
