A sort of good thing about this, and I believe the Dodgers are already doing this, is that it puts a kind of restrictor plate on team spending.
The Mets are the Mets and obviously haven't discovered anything about anything.

Follow me here - if you believe that each short-series in the postseason truly is a coin-flip (and it is), then building a team to win 100+ games is superfluous. It's waste. Stupid. Overkill.
Don't do it.
The Dodgers won 100 games this year, but they were a very imperfect team and I"m not sure how in the hell they won 100. Every pitcher hurt, no big add at the deadline, etc....just happened to win 100.
Teams should limit their spending and just get into the postseason with 84-87 wins. Owners should LOVE this.
No more bloated contracts. No more reaches for guys 2 years too late. IF GMs are smart. IF.
