It's a simple supply and demand thing. Premium players got premium prices.
And honestly, Rodriguez is not much overpaid. Baseballprospectus did a study on value/price, and Rodriguez is kind of like middle of the pack. There are tons of more way overpaid craps at the 1-3 mil range.

Yeah and you also have to factor in how much money the team has to spend. That wasn't the best contract in the world for the Rangers (though not as bad as some people think) because they didn't have as much to spend. For the Yankees, it's not a bad contract at all. In fact, a a percentage of payroll it's about neutral.
