Salary cap time?

This is really starting to get old. I know everyone knows that the Yankees are one of the worst spending teams in the league and it just isn't fair to some of the other teams out there who can't even compete with them (I know, I should take into consideration the Red Sox too but NYY is way worse). This is definitely something that is always brought up but I figure I'd take my shot at it too. NYY has just spent 243 MILLION on two players and now theres talk about going after Manny Ramirez or Mark Teixeira...that'd probably put it at over $400 million for 3 players. That's just absolutely ridiculous! So yea, I know it'll probably never happen, but I think that some sort of cap needs to be implemented in order to balance out the league. Granted it may hurt the Sox a bit, but it'll hurt the Yankees more and it'll balance out the league greatly.

CC Sabathia-7 years/$161 million
AJ Burnett- 5 years/$82.5 million
Manny Ramirez or Mark Teixeira-who knows, but it'll probably be some crazy amount
