Delaney: All that money can buy
The Yankees are at it again, and this time it looks as if Hank Steinbrenner and co. spent wisely.
Star free-agent pitcher CC Sabathia signed a contract this week with New York, making the 28-year-old lefty the team's latest money down purchase toward a World Series. The Yankees are a team that can pay for any player they want and the team's status as the game's primary Superpower is ruining the competitive balance of baseball. Not even Boston, the Mets, Dodgers or Angels - all big markets - can shell out the money the Yankees do on a regular basis.
Maybe I should've enjoyed the 2008 postseason more than I did. Because in the future, how often are small-market teams such as Tampa and Milwaukee going to get in?
