Love this quote:
"But with that upside comes additional risk. If you went with the Trout-and-scrubs model, and then Trout blew out his knee trying to take an extra base, your season is probably over. The 2013 Dodgers show that it is theoretically possible to just light $50 million on fire and still build a winning team around the ashes of the wasted cash, but it required a $215 million payroll and some pretty great performances from a couple of low paid rookies in order to make it all work. The list of teams that could absorb having $50 million in dead money on the books basically begins with the Yankees and ends with the Dodgers. The other 28 teams would be screwed."
