its a different era now. All teams have money. Not Yankee money but plenty to sign that one player. Also it’s about marketing for the top players. They make $20$-$30 million but they make more with commercials. Shoe contracts, Gatorade etc. you play in a big market those companies like you better.
Look at Trout. Best player in the game. No one gets to watch him play and no big commercials. Harper and Manny want those big contracts. That’s what has changed since Holliday. It’s not enough to win and play in front of great crowds.
