Not true. All it does is cover their mistakes. Allow them to make new ones. How many of these large contracts have ever worked out good for the team? Maybe 5%? 10%?

These $2 BILLION cable TV contracts are a threat to the game but having the most money doesn't guarantee shit.

You can still draft and develop players on the cheap. There is just no room for error like the LA/NY teams can just buy their way out of mistakes. Other teams can't make mistakes. Look at Oakland this year. Perfect example.
