Why do high payrolls only produce mediocre teams?
>>67355461
A majority of the payroll is for minor league farms
Its not how much you spend, its who you spend it on. There are other factors at play then just $$
Boreball is a distraction to us until real sports like basketball and football come on
well a quarter of those contracts are ned colleti's dumb ass manifest
>>67355461
We're still in first place dumbass

Investing in farm systems is the only way to win at baseball and supplementing good teams with free agents after a core is already built. What makes big payroll teams scary to me is how they're funneling so much capital into Dominican teenagers and pricing everyone else out of IFA.
Also the bullshit like the Dodgers throwing a shit ton of money at the leading arm injury researchers and hoarding all of their data for themselves.

they pay for le epic curve ball man but forgot a team needs to hit during playoffs.
Don Mattingly was aslo a retard but this nigger is worse

Lol not after this game you're not

It isn't bullshit because they literally invested in it when no one cared
Suddenly people start to care because someone paid for it
Fuck those free loaders
What happened to Puig? He started the season red-hot and he can't do shit now

the only reason the giants have a dynasty is all their qt fuck boys are home grown so they play for cheap and are on long ass contracts
because the truly obscenely high ones are usually 55% actual payroll, 30% paying guys to play for other teams, 15% stupidly high contracts inherited from some small market team that overpaid to lure a guy

>Wood and Baez on the same day
it's astonishing the rays aren't at 20 runs
Because you can't buy team chemistry or guarantee health
REV UP THEM RALLYFUS
LGTSS
>Crawful
>I really want that young cheap player
>Too bad you can't have him...unless...you take this horrible piece of shit we are for some reason paying 20 mil a year off our hands as well. Oh and everyone you trade to us in return, pay half of their salaries.
>yolo not my money
And so a 1.5 billion payroll is born
And they feel obligated to play that shitty guy because they're paying so much, thus the mediocrity
>>67355461
players stop caring once they get their huge contract
