The complaint is about the rules. Competitive balance is, um, lacking when the Yankees spend so much more than everyone, and when the Red Sox spend so much more than everyone but the Yankees. Pity the fans in Oakland, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, etc. Pity the fans in Boston, too, not least because this trade is enough to keep Dan Shaughnessy going for another decade. Only a World Series will shut him up.
