Blaming unlimited payroll for the success of the teams in the biggest markets has become a lazy narrative.
It’s a cyclical thing, and the cycle has come back around to a tired narrative. The teams with the three largest payrolls are three of baseball’s final four. Those three teams play in New York or Los Angeles. Baseball is doomed. But think back to this time last year. There was a narrative last October too. Tony Clark, the executive director of the players’ union, stood on the field at Dodger Stadium and smiled. He has heard it all before. Baseball is not doomed.
“Whether it’s the tax, whether it’s the draft, whether it’s international signings or any number of things in between — indifferent to the market you are in — you can be the last team standing if you are committed to being the last team standing,” Clark said. The Mets set an MLB payroll record last season and finished with a losing record.
