Agreed. And sometimes you get teams like the Brewers in 2025, all the young talent peaking at the same time. They had a very, very impressive season but there was no way they could compete with the Dodgers. So why bother having a huge payroll if LA is just going to spend twice as much to acquire all the available talent anyway? Just to satisfy a fickle fan base? No, baseball is a business and any properly run business makes as much money as possible. And payroll is pure overhead, the enemy of businesses.
