Dodgers and Yankees are on a whole different level from everyone else when it comes to revenue and spending. The Red Sox did go beyond their means for a couple years in the mid-00's, but lumping us in as a "top 3" would be like lumping the Rays and Pirates in with a team like the Cardinals at the other end of the spectrum.
