Florida Marlins have $14 million dollar payroll; we have a $45 million dollar payroll. Florida understands if you are going to suck and not compete, what's the purpose of blowing payroll on mediocre veterans? Save the money and spend it when it matters. If the Royals had any sense, they'd be fielding a team like Florida and saving the $30 million to keep players like Gordon as long as possible.
It may be that Glass is so short-sighted, he would not understand that if you spent $14 million one year and $86 million another year, the average would still be the $50 million he said that he'd be willing to spend per year. It's hard to know where to assign blame....obviously Allard Baird deserves a lot, but I think he is probably hampered by interference from the David and Dan Glass.
