The best team money can buy (and the least deserving) won. The uneven
competitive balance for the best players is driving away intelligent people
from MLB. The current financial structure of MLB, with no meaningful
revenue sharing or players caps, places the Yankees on the top position,
since most teams can't compete with them in paying for the best players.
Teams like Cleveland have become a kind of farm club for the bigger market
and richer teams.
If you don't believe me, just consider who won the "World Series," who were
in the playoffs, and who where the starting pitchers in the opening WS game.

I can understand how it can be rationalized if your from NY or Philadelphia.
But a large part of the rest of the country sees what has happened to
baseball. It's no longer a fair competition; it's now better described as
a show or exhibition (the best money can buy). Potential fans, with a
life, need not apply!

Yankies are the shittiest team and the ML are corrupt for letting money dictate the quality of a team.
