Right, but in Marty's world, you sign every single guy who might help your team, no matter what the cost, and then you just cut the ones who don't work out. It doesn't really matter if you end up paying $100M to guys who are no longer playing for your team. The ownership group is full of greedy bastards who won't bankrupt themselves just for Marty's entertainment, and also why does the team bother paying all the non-player employees anything over minimum wage? They don't do a damn thing to add to Marty's entertainment value by winning games on the field, so why should he care whether or not they can afford food and housing.
