Whicker: Fortunes of Mets and Dodgers illustrate “difference between rich and richness”
“The colour of money in the National League is blue.
The Mets have a $366 million payroll. The Dodgers have a $322 million payroll. But not all money is equal, just as Musk is no Zuckerberg. The difference, on Monday night, was illustrated by a lefthander named Justin Wrobleski. He makes 790 thousand dollars this year, with a “t.”
The Dodgers beat the Mets, 4-0, and Wrobleski threw eight of the easiest innings that will be recorded in Major League Baseball this year. He gave the Mets two singles and no walks. He only struck out two, but that meant he only had to throw 90 pitches.”
