New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox salary question?
Question:I see a lot of questions and remarks on here about the payrolls of both the Yankees and Red Sox.
The Yankees payroll with Clemens is $220,229,045. However what must of you have over looked is that they will pay $39,000,000 in luxury taxes at the end of the year just like last year when they had to pay $26,000,000 in luxury taxes. This means their overall salary is 182,000,00 and some change.
Most of you state that you dislike the Yankees because of their payroll. "Let's just say" they drop their payroll to 90,000,000. Does that make the Boston Red Sox and their $143,123,714 dollar payroll baseball's new most hated team?

If the only reason that someone doesnt like a team is because of the payroll of a team, that person should not watch baseball anymore. Thats not a good reason to dislike a team .

for me, its less about the money they spend, and more about how they develop their players. the small market teams have great talent, and spend years turning them into mlb players. then they have one good year, and the large market teams(mainly sox and yanks) come and pay them more than anyone else can afford. as for clemens, overpaid, over rated..welcome to the american league roger, where you will get your * lit up this year.What are some not so common baseball pitches?
This is a stupid question...the salary is only part of the problem. Its the way the Yankees act as if they deserve a championship every year. George comes of as an arrogant jerk in the way he deals with other teams. The prime example to me is Bobby Abreu last year. When he went on the market you knew he would end up in New York. No one else had the ability to take on his salary. Did the Yankees need him? Not really they had Sheff waiting to come off the DL. The Clemens thing this year is the same way. No one else would pay him a salary anywhere near what they are. The money isn't the whole thing...but it is a big part of it.How many brothers have played on the same professional baseball team?
wow do u know anything?People don't hate the yankees because of the high salary cap
They waste their minors, and use their salary cap to buy athletes, that suck in the clutch
I wish baseball was like football
