Probably more of a perception thing than the Yankees actually becoming cheapskate. They still give out big contracts but don't go all out like they did during the George Steinbrenner era. George's idea for fixing any problem was opening up the checkbook regardless of costs or if it was even needed since all he cared about was success.

Between them being public about lowering their luxury tax bill and other teams having no problems opening up their checkbooks, can see how Yankee fans could get worried about the future. That and their farm system being more in the middle of the pack which probably adds some more worries.
