[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1505630, member: 588522"] I mean, I couldn't care less about how much the Ricketts are making. I'd love to see them have the highest payroll in baseball. But they've only put out statements that seem the contradict they would want to go over the luxury tax. That being said, I'm always of the mind that sports teams put out almost exactly what they want out there, which could or could not correlate to actual thinking, so it really doesn't matter--actions do. As of now, it doesn't look like they want to go into the tax. Yes the next few years are very interesting. Who resigns, who we let go, etc. In my mind, I wouldn't be displeased to see a guy like Contreras go for a controllable top prospect or two. You can't pay everyone. Take on some risk, get some young guys on the cheap who might turn out to be all stars, sign the guys who really matter (Bryant/Baez), and keep drafting and retaining talent. [/QUOTE]
