The Marlins didn’t do that. The Cubs didn’t do that. The Nationals didn’t do that. Not many teams do.

Correct, I agree with you, the Yankees BUY championships. Other franchises like the Cardinals, Giants, etc. earn it on the field.
They might buy a piece or 2, but nowhere close to the Yankees blank checkbook. Thus, so fun watching them fail. Especially 19 of the last 20 years, and about to be 20 of 21. Mets already 21 of 21 failure seasons and counting. Thank you San Diego.
Let's go Astros!
