there's a reason the NBA / NFL are king now -- they do all the revenue-sharing with a soft cap ... there's at least a baseline of commonality within the spending.
The Yankees get 600mil a year in revenue. The Dodgers are at 550mil.
The bottom tier (non-Oakland) is 300mil. If you use the idea of the other leagues where roughly 50% of the money goes to players, that's 300mil vs 150mil or basically the cost of 4-5 superstars.
Pittsburgh is in that 300mil range, running a payroll of 100mil, but I'm not sure what their exact range is of what can be spent.
