What theory are you talking about?
That they can't compete with the Yankees and Red Sox?
If that's the case, your statement makes no sense because Berkman and Oswalt have never reached free agency so they haven't had to compete with the Red Sox and Yankees to sign them.
Carlos Lee, yeah, but 2 of the 3 you mentioned, no.
