there is a reason why every single year, the same 5 or 6 teams are linked to every free agent.

because they are the teams who don't care about spending money. Most teams can not afford a misstep on a 250-300 million dollar contract.

You guys shake off a shitty Ellsbury contract like it was a parking ticket.

To a degree you're right but a lot more teams are making a lot more money today. They're lying to us and saying they're broke when they're filthy -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 12, 13:53 5

  - I don't disagree that some teams do not spend, but also why should they if they have no shot to compete? - groiny Feb 12, 13:55 3
    - Because they should be putting out a competitive and entertaining product on the field for their fans. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 12, 14:01 2
      - why pay 60 million to finish last when you can spend 30 for the same result? - groiny Feb 12, 14:03 1
        
        I get that but teams need to put out a good product and that extra money should make them more competitive and fun to watch. - Krusty Feb 12, 14:07
