08:15 AM ET 08.27 | If Los Angeles' shopping spree seemed extravagant by taking on Boston's salary shedding, consider the money that will soon flow to the Dodgers. [When] Dodgers chairman Mark Walter said [last week] that the team could still take on significant money, his inspiration not only stemmed from a combination of his deep pockets, Magic Johnson's infectious passion for success, and Stan Kasten's savvy baseball acumen. Mr. Walter's penchant for spending is also being fueled by the comfort of knowing that the Dodgers will soon see an explosive increase in their local/regional TV revenues when their current deal expires in 2013 that could reach as high as $8.5 billion over the next 20 years.

nothing should come cheap,,, the dodgers do have a local channel, channel 9 would likely telivise the dodgers games,,, but the angels don't have any local channels, channels 13 use to be the angels channels but i guess not any more,,,

dissapointed team??? that's a simple question, the answer its the angels, this team kept diving back to fist base the whole season, lack of pitching? remember before the halos had the lack of pitching the offense was the #1 in lack of offense and when the pitching start to falling apart it was heavily in part because their catcher is not good enough behind the plate,,,

while the halos offense remains at sleep the owner/GM/manager shouldn't expect anything new,, unless the hitting coach become barry bonds or eddie murray,,

They are just in it to make money, even if they say it's about winning World Series. If they wanted to win World Series they would follow the Cardinals model.
