The Yankees are also one of the wealthiest teams in all baseball<ref>http://www.onestopbaseball.com/TeamPayroll.asp</ref>, a fact that detractors have criticized and fans have lauded. Their payroll has been the league's highest for many years. As of 2008, they have handed out four of the five highest contracts in MLB history.
