As far as the powers that be in NY are concerned, it is a hard cap for them this year. Old man Steinbrenner probably would not have cared about paying a ton of luxury tax, but his sons do.
I can understand you not knowing if you don't care about and don't follow baseball, but its been a pretty big story for months that the Yankees are going to move heaven, earth, and hell to stay under the soft cap this season.
Doing so for even just one season will save them a HUGE amount of money in later seasons when they blow through the luxury tax threshold.
