Fact is, if the Yankees were held to a salary cap, they would be battling the Devil Rays for dead last.
The Yankees are actually the perfect example of why a salary cap is a good thing: When you have an unlimited budget, you can buy your way out of your own mistakes. You can cover your incompetence by paying the highest priced player available.
This has been the Yankees MO for a decade now. Feel free to look up their overall record in that time.
