The Dodgers continued their spending spree this winter, pushing their payroll to approximately $400 million. Their signings included Kyle Tucker, the best hitter on the market, to a four-year, $240 million contract. Meanwhile, the Padres signed low-cost players just this past week when they brought in pitchers German Marquez and Griffin Canning to go along with outfielder Nick Castellanos, whose $20 million salary is being paid for by the Philadelphia Phillies.

They pay the money, they spend the money, I mean they're a great team. They run their team like a business, and they run it the right way. They understand where they need to put their money into, but also - people don't look at this either - their draft and their development is unbelievable. They draft then they develop then they trade those guys for big name guys and they can spend the money.
