Keep those 2025 roster projections below $135 million. Oh, and also try not to feel too sorry for billionaires.

I do wonder if there's going to be some surprisingly attainable players in free agency with half the league looking at reduced revenue and more teams seeing it coming in the near future.  Not the Soto-tier of guys obviously, but some quality mid-tier players I think will be sitting there as spring training opens wondering why their market never materialized the way they thought it would.  Could be some bargains to be had

Sounds like collusion again.

Man, if only someone had been telling us this was coming for months.
