Why not? Red Sox payroll isn't near the Yankees. The Yankees spend nearly 100 million dollars more on their team.

Mets and Cubs also have higher payrolls than the Red Sox. The Red Sox payroll is basically the same as that of the Tigers, Phillies, and the Angels who they're playing right now. They're all within 7 mill of eachother.

That's what the budget is for a playoff team. You have to spend money to win. The Yankees, though, are spending nearly double that of those playoff teams I listed. Over 200 million.

And...when did I say the Red Sox shouldn't be winning? They spend the money of a playoff team, and they're a playoff team. But, they should be playing better for what they spend too.
I just don't think it's nearly a comparison to the yankees.
