The New York Yankees pointed out that the Brewers should stop crabbing about the differences in their payroll. This reaction came following a comment by Milwaukee Brewer’s owner Mark Attansio, in a USA Today report indicating that the Yankees infield is tossing more money than the Brewers, as Milwaukee “struggles” to sign Prince Fielder.

Taking this remark seriously, while giving an interview to a New York radio station, Randy Levine, the president of the Yankees, specified that the Yankees were playing “by all the rules.”On the contrary, he raised questions about millions of dollars that the Brewers have received through revenue sharing.

Since revenue sharing was introduced the Yankees have paid out 5 million, which is a whopping 92 percent of all revenue-sharing payments. Having the largest payroll of all, over 200 million, the defending World Series champion Yankees persists to lead the league this season as well. LinesMaker betting odds have the Yankees at 11–4 favorites to win the World Series.

The Yankees’ starting infield will be paid about 98 million, much more than 16 MLB teams entire payroll — and perhaps the best damn infield of all time, while the overall payroll of the Brewers for this season is about 81 million. The long shot Brewers have betting odds of 50-1 to win the World Series.
