In a shocking move...after losing the World Series, the Yankees buy the trophy and title from Peter McGowan and the Giants for 200 million and prospects.
Seriously..the whole payroll argument is played out. I think it's bad for baseball, yeah..but money had only allowed the Yankees to keep the players they either brought through their farm system or traded for.

D. Jeter
M. Rivera
A. Pettite

All players from their farm system
