This isn’t our trade deadline series quite yet, but thanks to some injuries — as strange as that sounds — the Dodgers might have a little extra money to play with before July 31.
We all know about the ownership-mandated goal of getting under the luxury tax. We’ve written about it a lot here and I even tackled the issue a bit at True Blue LA last month.
Yes, it’s pretty laughable that a team making as much money as the Dodgers are had to reign in the spending this past offseason, but it’s also somewhat understandable — and we really don’t know about the debt service rules and how it ultimately impacted that decision.
