If it’s a fact that spending money does not result in winning Championships, and that IS a fact, then why do many MLB teams spend money like drunken sailors? On the other hand, why would any free agent take fewer years to sign with a team? As I have said before, the MLBPA (of which all players have to be members) is the most powerful union in the country. Behind the scenes, overtly and covertly, they will flex their muscles, and unless the money is close, players “understand” that they have to take the best deal. Players also hire agents who get between a four and ten percent commission.
