The reaction to the Dodgers' three-year, $22.5 million deal with reliever
Brandon League seems to be tepid, at best. Grantland.com's Jonah Keri tweeted
in response to the move, "Burning piles of cash is the new market
inefficiency."
道奇签League被笑是在烧钱
It is, of course, a hefty pile of cash for a pitcher who has really only
worked about a year-and-a-half as a closer over an eight-year span. Then
again, if League proves to be the final piece that turns the Dodgers into
World Series contenders, who cares?
不过只要League是夺冠最后一片拼图 谁会在意?
Once again, it proves the Dodgers are willing to take this thing to financial
depths never before explored. Already, they have just over $200 million
committed to their 2013 payroll, when you include the $8.33 million in
deferred money they'll owe Manny Ramirez. That total locks up just 18
major-league players and prospect Yasiel Puig. Catcher A.J. Ellis is
arbitration eligible and likely to make at least $3.5 or $4 million. The team
still is in the market for a frontline starting pitcher.

It's practically a lock that the Dodgers will open next season as the most
expensive team in baseball history, surpassing the 2008 New York Yankees, who
handed out $209 million. Even if they somehow come in short of that figure,
they still would be the first non-Yankee team since the 1988 Baltimore
Orioles to lead the majors in payroll.

The Yankees, by the way, have about $131 million tied up in just eight
players going into 2013, so they could still pass the Dodgers. Then again,
the Yankees have been hesitant to dole out luxury tax money to other teams
and have reined in their spending in recent seasons.

The question, as usual, will be how far does it get the Dodgers? They're in a
division with the best team in baseball, the two-time champion San Francisco
Giants, plus improving young teams in Arizona and San Diego. Money doesn't
buy you love and it doesn't buy you championships, usually. The 1988 Orioles
finished in second place.
