The game is changing.
The next 5-10 years will likely be a battle for TV revenue. The teams that can run their $150mil payrolls first and spend it reasonably well will have the upper hand like the Angels and Texas. Teams that are late to the game will start dealing with inflation.
By the tail-end of the decade the new TV deals and luxury tax rules will make it so that teams like the Yankees and Red Sox won't be able to dominate with like they have in the past. Everybody relevant will be able to run high payrolls. It will go back to winning with efficient roster building again.
