You are funny, they aren't hurting.

Oh yeah, they are definitely scrambling. I don’t know how they’ll pay him.

Irrelevant number. They have a $314m payroll, second highest in baseball

I agree. I hope we outspend everyone. But what is your source for $314MM. I

You're right, it's more of a USU post than a Ute post. And, 2 more runs.

Imagine thinking this was somehow deragatory towards the Dodgers. My kingdom for an org that will spend like that.
