But the Yankees payroll is even higher...so they are also in need of a playoff spot...and there is only one divisional spot for the two teams.
And either way they are in the playoffs - Wild Card spot or not.
In the end the team still has its flaws for sure (still don't trust the offense) but all the hyperbole earlier this season about them being the worst team ever and the worst team money could buy was so overblown.
They are a good but not great team that has to overpay people at times because they aren't the Dodgers or Yankees.
