I'm that way.  Only Dodger fans get to have nice things. I'm not sure if there is a good solution but how many teams draft a pitcher who becomes successful knowing that they will have to do it again because they can't afford it.  

I'm pretty sure that drafting one pitcher who becomes successful doesn't set a team up for a decade of playoff appearances.

Blue Jays Phillies Yankees Mets Red Sox Braves...

Baltimore, remains to be seen after Alonso.  Likely a trade of position prospects for pitching.

Seems everyone else is pulling back on spending.

"That leaves one opening for a handful of players. Collins, Perkins and former first-round pick Garrett Mitchell would battle for playing time if they’re all on the roster. The Brewers have speedster Brandon Lockridge as a fifth outfielder and took a flier on Akil Baddoo on a split contract. They all have minor league options, so it’s not necessary to force a trade. There’s enough depth that they’re willing to move someone for help elsewhere on the roster. Rosenthal and Sammon write that Milwaukee could target a relief pitcher with minor league options who’d provide additional flexibility for a team that leans heavily on its bullpen."

Not sure the Brewers would go for either Leasure or Taylor to replace Megill (if they do in fact trade him as rumored.)

Collins has regression written all over him...and Perkins looks like more of a useful fourth OF but not a regular.

Basically, fans can only take the East Coast teams at all seriously at this juncture.

That leaves the Dodgers and maybe the Mariners all alone in the West...at least until the Giants decide they're actually a large market team.

 

Maybe the Tigers, at least until they package Skubal for prospects.
