CNN had an article about the "other" teams catching up with the Yankees in payroll, so I think you're hitting the nail on the head with the changing nature of baseball's media contracts. I know the Reds are negotiating in a year or two for new TV rights. I just hope they get what they need so Votto isn't the only star on the team in 3 years.

This is one area I don't understand. I know NFL owners are not all idiots. But sometimes they do act like it
They do so many things in a group that does not make them money. Like TV deals. There is a league TV deal but AFAIK there is no team that has it's own TV deal.
Jerry Jones could easily go out and ask for half a billion for exclusive rights to 4-6 Cowboys games a year and a network would pay for it. It would of course be able the current TV deal expires but I am interested to see if any owners/teams break away from the pack this next time out and try and negotiate their own deals.
