The new owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers are taking their cue from the free-spending late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and fans in both cities may get the bill.
The Dodgers yesterday introduced Zack Greinke after making him the highest-paid right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball history with a six-year contract the Los Angeles Times said is worth $147 million. Come opening day, the Dodgers likely will have the highest major league payroll ever, topping the Yankees’ $209.1 million mark from 2008.
