The Bronx neighborhood of New York City is home to the New York Yankees, an American baseball team. As a part of the American League (AL) East division, the Yankees participate in Major League Baseball (MLB).
They share a stadium with the National League’s (NL) New York Mets as one of two major league teams with New York City as their home base.
After the franchise suspended operations in 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery bought it, transferred it to New York City, and changed the team’s name to the New York Highlanders. In 1913, the Highlanders adopted their new moniker as the New York Yankees.
After a contentious 99-day lockout, the league and its players’ union finalized a new collective bargaining agreement, which resulted in rises for both the top and bottom players. In the new CBA, the minimum pay increased to $700,000 from $570,500. The salaries for the New York Yankees Active members include;
