What Is The Breaking Point?

A pitcher no matter how good is still only going to play every 4 or 5 days and even then, for the most part, not even play the whole game.
$35 MILLION a year for basically a part time player. Very seldom do they contribute on the offensive side of things and they are not going to win the game every time they pitch.
So is there a point where a team is just flushing money away?
Being a Braves fan I don`t really care if the Nats piss away years of payroll that part of that $245 million could be invested elsewhere.
Rock on Nats! Spend away!

Evidently the breaking point is still climbing.

"When you consider that the Yankees' inability to translate regular-season dominance into a pennant over the past three years is largely a product of running into the Astros in October, that simple observation tells you why Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenners were willing to go all-in on Cole with a nine-year, $324 million contract that is the richest ever given to a pitcher."

That`s 36/year for 9 years! WTH!

Executives in MLB are not the brightest and has totally ruined the game.
