Baseball fans who grew up during the so-called "Evil Empire" days of the New York Yankees under George Steinbrenner could surely never envision a time when the Bronx Bombers were the ones complaining about another team's spending.
But that day has apparently arrived.
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, who is the son of George, discussed the Los Angeles Dodgers' spending this offseason during a Tuesday interview on the YES Network with Meredith Marakovits (h/t Brendan Kuty of The Athletic) and admitted it is "difficult" for most other teams to keep pace.
"Well, look: It's difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kind of things that they're doing," he said.
