Did anyone else read GMNH's comments on the Nova trade? It wreaked of penny pinching.
David Todd has been losing his **** on twitter since the Nova trade. Apparently some source of his is saying that the goal is to get the payroll down to 75M.
I think this is more of an indictment on MLB. The fact that a perennial playoff team like Cleveland is forced to dump salary when they are operating at around half the payroll of other contending teams is revealing. I hope the cable deals crater in 10 years after people tune out the perennial Cubs/Dodgers vs Yankees/Red Sox WS.
