In the NBA, NFL and NHL they have forms of salary caps to prevent this and keep the playing field somewhat balanced.

And MLB has a luxury tax threshold. Even the team with the highest payroll (the Mets) have severely underperformed this year and are likely not going to make the playoffs. Money does matter a lot, but generally that alone isn't going to win you the World Series. The Mets' at least have a brighter future because their owner is not only willing to spend a lot of money, but he actually genuinely wants to win and will make sure the organization as a whole is on the right path to achieving that. On the other hand, the Yankees are an utterly rotten organization, and as someone else said, they likely won't be good again for some time.
