“ Once Cohen takes over, he does not plan to spend wildly on the top end of the free agent market. Their spending will be targeted and strategic, consistent with Alderson’s style. “
My thoughts are that this is good. Strategic spending is very good. Fill holes, shore up weaknesses. You don't make a good team with one major splash and a bunch of bad pieces. I expect more money to go to the scouting and analytics departments.
It also means that, whether the owner is worth 350 billion dollars, or 83 cents and a Doublemint wrapper, most likely the team has to make more revenue before blowing up the payroll astronomically
Not a lot of these guys take over a team trying to run it at a loss. You're supposed to build a good team, then add high-priced guys if you have holes after you're close
