It's always about who will pay free agents the most money. Boston is an openly hostile fan base to black players and they still manage to get plenty of them as free agents because they offer more money.

its a different era back then. The Yankees had a lot more money than the rest of baseball and an owner willing to spend money.
Now the majority of teams have money. The players have options to get their top $ money. Different era.
