The baseball league is messed up in so many ways that it is no longer fair to play the game anymore.
The acquisition of A-Rod by the Yankees is just one of the recent examples. If one spends that much money to build a team, why not just buy the damn trophy? Of course, getting the best players doesn't guarantee winning. The Yankees haven't won since 2000 and they've got Giambi, Matsui, Soriano, Jeter, Clemens, Rivera, and many others. Heck, if the Cubs signed just one or two more all-stars, they would win a championship, too. But alas...
