Teams of Major League Baseball ranked by revenue in 2018 (in million U.S. dollars)

It is easy to see how NYY buys up talent to play "keep away". A problem I first became aware of when George Steinbrenner obtained Canseco, the right handed power bat the A's needed to compete in the playoffs, ...then sat him on the bench every game for A's ro see.

MLB still has competitive issues.
