Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, seeking a “fair fight,” said high-revenue clubs like the New York Yankees should share more with the other teams.

“It’s always amusing to me to hear the Yankees, they can’t get into the playoffs with $200 million, and they say, `well, we’ve done enough,”’ Attanasio, the chief investment officer at money management firm TCW Group Inc., said in an interview with Bloomberg Radio’s “On the Ball” program that will air tomorrow. “The advantages that you’re given in the bigger market teams — if they really wanted to have a fair fight they would do more revenue sharing, but I guess the obvious battle lines are drawn on that.”

The Brewers qualified for the postseason with a payroll that climbed to about $90 million after the acquisition of left- handed pitcher CC Sabathia, a free agent after the season. The Yankees, meantime, had a Major League Baseball-high $209 million payroll and missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1993 season.

The Yankees are among the teams that’ll be seeking pitching help during the offseason. General Manager Brian Cashman wouldn’t say whether Sabathia tops his wish list.

Cashman, during a separate “On the Ball” interview, said he’s also operating under a budget.

“Things are different in our industry from 10-15 years ago, when the Yankees could just show up and outspend everybody,” he said. “Everybody has a ceiling. There’s nothing limitless in any business equation.”

He wasn’t specific.

Cashman said the success of the Brewers and Rays is proof that the existing revenue-sharing agreement works.

“The Yankees have been very charitable,” he said.

Attanasio, meantime, said the Brewers will be charitable toward fans who are struggling with a difficult economy.

While the Brewers will raise ticket prices next season, Attanasio said the cost of a bleacher seat will remain $10, the same price when he bought the team three years ago. In addition, Attanasio said his preference is to drive revenue with sponsors, not ticket holders, especially in a challenging economic climate.

“We know that people are feeling the pinch and we want to make sure that we can get families to come out to the ballpark who are otherwise hurting a little bit,” Attanasio said. “We feel it’s a bit of a social responsibility to do that.”

Hey, if the Brewers want some more money from the Yankees, why don’t they offer to sell Ryan Braun to New York or something? It worked for the Red Sox, way back when…to raise some cash…selling some dude named Ruth…
