It ain't about the payroll. Yeah, they're a rich team, in a rich market with a driven family ownership willing to spend the money.
They pay a huge luxury tax on their payroll. This year it was almost $27 million, all of which goe to augment payroll for other teams. The only other team to hit the trigger and pay that tax this year was Detroit and the only other teams to have paid the tax ever are the Rd Sox and the Angels.

They are tough teams and they got beat by another tough team.
