Why? Who did he cheat? The Yankees offered him that contract, he just signed it. If anything he was smart enough to fool them out of millions but that's the Yankees fault, not his.
Besides, the Yankees owners inherited their ballclub anyway from their dad. They got a 1B gift (tax free based on the laws at the time of pops' passing) that they didn't do squat to earn themselves. If anything, they're the ones who need a "salary cap". Alex at least earned most of his $$$ over his career.
