This may not be the place, but since this is about payroll...
The M's payroll has been steady to going down gradually for the past 7 years.
The m's used to be in the top 10 of payroll, and this year we are projected to be in the bottom 12 payrolls for all of baseball. Worse yet, the Angels, Rangers and even Astros with their new owner and "big talk of money" look like they will be having payrolls in the $125M + areas, so the M's are really falling behind.
It is one thing for Z to say that the money will be there if he needs it this year or next Versus having a payroll that is competitive in our own division.
I do not care if we get Prince or Upton or any big bat... if it costs us Felix or Pineda or Ackley four years from now because our payroll is still 25% less than our division, we will never compete.
Then we are the Orioles or the Pirates.
