And really the Yankees and Red Sox have an equal amount of play-off failures as those teams do.
The Marlins don't lose their players to FA they choose to sell them off for young assets. I would say that they have done a good job of staying competitve by smart management that makes sure they don't lose their big guns for nothing or cut rate deals.

I'm not saying management doesn't come into it, but it's like anything; if you gave every team across the league equally skilled managers, the Yankees would still win more times than not because they're able to spend the most money. That, IMO, equates to an uneven playing field.
I love the game of baseball, but I keep drifting further and further away from the MLB because of this and the steroids garbage.
