again another false statement; its not about spending money at all.  It's about who you spend it on and what you have to give up to get it.  This isn't a World Series contender as flawed as the team is, so it makes little sense to sell the farm to play 1 postseason game and screw yourself over the next 2-4 years.  It's not as if superstar players/pitchers grow on trees.  I get it that bandwagon fans think you should go broke every season to try to win but that is just not how baseball works.  The Yankees have a good team this year and despite their record and unlimited resources they are not going to give up top prospects for a star player because they know the chances of them winning the world series this year with their roster is not great.  While you do want to win now, you do not want to mortage the future of the organization to do so.
