Over the last 10 years the Yankees and Red Sox have won the title 2 each, that means that in 6 years other teams were better, including such free spending teams as the Diamondbacks and Marlins.
The Twins have repeatedly been a competitive team despite not coming close to spending as much as the big guys or even the Jays.
The Rockies, Giants, Cardinals have all been competitive with middle of the road salaries as well.
The Jays aren't out of it early this year, or other years, because of money but because the team has made bad baseball decisions and doesn't have much talent.
