Actually, everyone benefits from the Yankees extra revenue streams. Despite complaining from the "small-market" Boston Red Sox, most owners love it when the Yankees come to town. The time world champions probably bring in more spectators when they visit Baltimore than the Orioles do. Owners don't care who you root for once you're in the stadium, as long as you part with your money. This popularity is fueled both by the Yankees having a roster loaded with stars and the mere storyline of having a perennial power house that other teams want to beat.
Do you still think that having a salary cap would create a more fair world for the have-nots? If baseball modeled its draft and payroll system similarly to the other two sports, it would create an impossibly difficult situation for aspiring Latino players.
There would be little incentive for clubs to invest money in Latin America and try to discover the next big talent. Even if there was a way to incorporate these players into the draft system, teams could easily cheat the salary cap by offering cash payments to family members in foreign countries. In all likelihood, teams wouldn't even bother going south of the border. That would be a shame considering stars born in Latin America put so much money into hospitals, churches and charities of their home countries.
We take it for granted that those evil Yankee dollars mean clean water for a poor child overseas. Fortunately, there never will be a salary cap in baseball. It is in the interest of almost all parties to allow teams to spend freely and invest in their product. But unfortunately, many ignorant fans will continue to blame the Yankees for all the ills in the baseball world.

Gardy should retire. So many dollars flushed right down the toilet by Cash. At least Stanton earned it. Trade him to a team looking for a. I feel like the Rangers suckered Cash into taking Odor and Gallo. If those two are still two key cogs in the lineup next year we might as well resign ourselves to 4th place.
Florial is ready and can do the same thing better for less. And Greg Allen could be brought back as the 4th OFer. Stanton can play the field more.
Gallo should be traded. I would trade Voit, Andujar and Frazier and bring Rizzo back with the cash savings. At least he can put the bat on the ball. We need more average hitters and less. Speaking of which, Gary Sanchez should be traded. Bring back Joeley and the gritty gutty Locastro. Trading two could leave an opening for the other.
He might have an option year left though, so it might be worth keeping him around as insurance to see if he can finally stay healthy and return to form. No way he should be counted on for opening day roster though. Voit gets non-tenured. Frazier and Andujar get traded for low level lotto tickets since they have no value.
