After watching helplessly as the Yankees outbid Milwaukee by a reported $61 million for ace lefthander CC Sabathia this offseason, Brewers owner Mark Attanasio knows the power of the Yankees' checkbook. So, too, does the rest of the league after watching New York add first baseman Mark Teixeira to its offseason bounty Tuesday.
In an e-mail to Bloomberg News, Attansio voiced his frustration, while hinting at a solution: "At the rate the Yankees are going, I'm not sure anyone can compete with them. Frankly, the sport might need a salary cap."
Speaking to Bloomberg News on the phone, Attansio added, "They (Yankees) are on a completely different economic playing field. I paid $220 million for my team; now they get three players for $420 million."
