Yes baseball economics are exactly the same as 25 years ago.
Until they have a new TV contract they are significantly limited. They're still not going to transform into a Yankees or Dodgers payroll. Sustained success with continued attendance and playoff appearances could put them in a position to have a payroll in the back end of the top third to high end of the middle third.
