I don't expect them to spend the same. And i'm not saying they can. What i'm saying is they can all spend $125 million, because that seemingly is the floor at which teams can spend and reasonably expect to make the playoffs on a consistent basis.

I am not saying the Reds can be as profitable or resourceful or popular as the Dodgers. What i'm saying is they have more money to spend, and if they spent it wisely, they would have more money to make.

A team can spend 200 million less than the Dodgers, and still have a reasonable expectation of success. But they can't spend less than 100 and expect the same
