I agree that the Yankees should not receive salary relief.

Chris Davis is taking steroids right now and the Orioles are ahead of the Yankees in the Wild Card race. 

I don't think the Baltimore manager is the proper guy to question Bud Selig's arbitrary munificence:

"Rodriguez, who is owed $86 million through 2017, is due $25 million in 2014. If, for example, he's suspended for the rest of this season and all of next, the Yankees would suddenly plummet below the luxury tax threshold of $189 million. 

'If Bud lets them get away with that, they're under the luxury tax,' Showalter told the paper. 'If they can reset, they can spend again and I guarantee you in two years Matt Wieters is in New York.' "

Sure, I could see that, as long as Mauer moves to DH.
