I would like to see the payrolls for each of the teams right beside the revenues. The Yankees spend close to 50% on player salaries. While the bottom feeders only speed like 20% on player salaries. Then cry about not being able to compete.

If you would actually read the article above (I know, clicking the link and reading it to be informed is difficult!) you would actually see that every team with the exception of the Marlins is "trying to win"
Here is a quote
Quote:
OK, well, last year, according to the Forbes numbers, the Yankees made $441 million in revenue* and spent about $416 million on baseball. That means they spent 94.4% of their revenue on baseball, a nice high percentage.
And the Royals? Well, they only made $155 million in revenue, and they spent about 146 million. That means they spent 94.3% of their revenue on baseball.

Or maybe this one

• League average: 46.6%
• New York Yankees: 46.9%
