I have never been anything that can be confused with a Yankees fan. The closest I ever came was feeling good for my Uncle Mario in 1996 when the Yankees won their first championship in a while. So I think I can say this without a hint of remorse: Despite the many things the Yankees do that suck, they work within the rules of the game to get the players they want.
The Yankees don't spend unnecessary time wittling down offers from free agents or nursing trades that they have no intention of making. There are teams that are perpetually in trade talks about one big name or another (I'm looking at you LA Anaheim Angels), but when the Yanks are talking about someone they get them.
If the Yankees threw as much money at Babe Ruth's grave as they just threw at Clemens, the Big Man would rise up and hit .320. The Yankees can afford it and its a player they need. Why not spend? Go for it.
I would rather see a big market, hey we got the money team like the Yankees spend that money to get a top class pitcher that they were desperate for. Bully to the Yanks. If my Mets did the same thing, I wouldn't compalin about it. So how can I complain about it when someone else does it?
