I was thinking more like
Joe Dimaggio
Mickey Mantle
Whitey Ford
Lou Gehrig
Yogi Berra
Bill Dickey
FYI Ruth and Hoyt were acquired via trade...not really the same as signing free agents anyway even if cash played a big part of the trades. Teams had the option atleast to keep their own guy and not trade them.
And of course theyve spent the most money on their players as they have made the most money over the years. They did it in a much different way until the mid 70s hower
