It was the 00's and early 10's teams where they just tried to buy teams and it didn't work.

There's the pre ARoD Yankees, and the post ARod Yankees. The 96 team was a pretty regular group with like Charlie Hayes and a washed Cecil Fielder playing over vets like Boggs and Tino Martinez due to injury or lack of performance. Jim Leyritz is hitting a 3 run home run...later on there's no room on the roster for non status type players.
That group of Jeter/Posada/Williams/Pettite/Rivera made those teams go.
