Every champion has been in the top 15 in payroll except for one, the Marlins.

The Marlins were almost immediately sold off piece by piece because the team couldn't afford the salary they did pay. Small Television market teams will never be on equal footing until there is a salary cap. It doesn't matter what rationalizations and BS excuses people try to make up.
