"Big" because our total costs, while more than anyone else, were not exponentially greater. Several million dollars. Chump change in MLB terms.

Seriously, I would be willing to bet that if Glass pushed up payroll and made the team competitive, the increased revenue would offset the cost if not generate a higher margin (Let alone potential post-season revenue.) There is no reason not to go get the two best free agent starting pitchers on the market this offseason.
