08:07 AM ET 12.06 | Many expect the Dodgers to keep on spending this offseason, beginning with Zack Greinke. The Dodgers, sources say, also could add arguably the second-most attractive free-agent pitcher, righty Anibal Sanchez, in a dual investment that could approach $250 million. At the moment, the Dodgers also are negotiating with another starter, Korean lefty Ryu Hyun-Jin. The deadline to sign him is Sunday. If the Dodgers fail to complete a deal, they will not pay a $25.7 million posting fee to his Korean team. That would be $25.7 million more for the Dodgers to redirect to free-agent starters, or perhaps an expensive pitcher whom they might acquire in a trade. The Dodgers, sources say, have talked to [the Mets] about NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.

The Dodgers are acting like they are back in the 60's and 70's trying to buy championships like the Yankees did.

toad you must be mistaken. The 60's and 70's were kind of lean times compared to late 90's early 2000's. That's when the spending frenzy came about.

The Dodgers are signing Sanchez? I guess the Jets figured a way out of their QB mess.

The Dodgers spent a lot of money last year acquiring Gonzalez, Beckett, Ramirez, etc. and didn't make the playoffs. Now it looks like they are on the cusp of dropping another $250 mil on Greinke and Anibal Sanchez.
With all that money spent, the expectations next year will be extremely high. I am tongue-in-cheek speculating that they will underperform because acquiring a collection of expensive players backfires on teams more often than not.

The Yankees actually got most of their core players from the 1970's via trade- Randolph, Dent, Nettles, Chambliss, Tidrow, Rivers, Piniella, Blair, Lyle- ALL BY TRADES!!! Cashman, take note! Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Goose Gossage were signed via free agency.

The firsy key guys in the first years of free agency-1976-77- were mostly A's castoffs- Catfish Hunter (Yankees), Reggie Jackson (Yankees), Rollie Fingers (Padres), Joe Rudi (Angels), etc.

The Yankees spent $2 billion on payroll in the past ten years to win one World Series. Even they are cutting back in the face of new penalties for exceeding the cap.
It would real amusing if the cable systems refused to carry whatever sucker wins the bidding rights for the Dodgers TV rights. Or at least if they put it on a higher tier, instead of soaking each subscriber for a buck a month.
I love the way the deal for TV rights has escalated in one year from a supposed windfall of $2 billion to $6 billion. Imagine the look on the face of Dodgers owners if no one bids?
