When you factor in that the yankees have to pay four aging hall of famers/borderline hall of famers 63,000,000 combined, the payroll isn't really that different. The Yankees were great for a long time and rewarded their homegrown dynasty guys with big contracts. Seeing as how the Red Sox neither grew their own players nor won for an extended period of time, they aren't burdened with these types of deals. Instead, they can cheap out on guys when they get older because they don't owe them anything. |
