Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says “word is” the Dodgers may try for “another
big free-agent starter.”
And it’s pretty easily to believe those whispers.
According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, the Dodgers have $210.1 million in
salary commitments for 2013 and will pay another $22 million in luxury tax
(for a total sum of $233+ million). But their new 25-year local television
contract with FOX Sports West is going to bring in over $240 million per
season and so they’re still — as amazing as it might sound — operating
with great comfort financially.
The Cardinals, for comparison, make under $30 million annually from their
television rights deal with FOX Sports Midwest, which is locked in through
2017. Their player payroll in 2012 was just over $110 million.
The Dodgers could sign Anibal Sanchez or Kyle Lohse knowing full well that
the club will still be highly profitable. Big national television money is
coming, and Dodger Stadium hosts three million fans every summer. Then there’
s the revenue from things like merchandise, concessions and parking.
Handing a record-breaking free agent contract to a guy who’s not even an ace
seems crazy, but it simply isn’t for the Dodgers. And they’re not done yet.
