I'm pretty sure it's a free market place. Obviously some owners would rather squeeze the fans for every drop to put a sub par product on the field.
George and the boys got some deep pockets, what can I say.
Yankees 201 million payroll-- 26 World Series Titles
Marlins 36 million payroll
Best bang for the buck--Twins at 65 million.

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.
