Rogers chose to reign in the budget and hired Shapiro without firing AA which caused this awkward situation.
There has always been budget restraints while Rogers has owned the team. Are you saying that AA could have spent up to the Yankees all those years but just didn't? I'd have to see some proof of that because from everything I've heard AA always had to operate under a budget.
