Blake Snell has signed a five-year contract to pitch for the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. At what point is Major League Baseball going to implement some sort of fairness doctrine that allows teams like the Minnesota Twins to compete? Nobody is forcing the Pohlads to spend half as much as Mark Walter and Magic Johnson are to construct a championship-caliber roster for the Dodgers. Apparently the cliche that "you have to spend money to make money" falls on deaf ears at 1 Twins Way in Minneapolis.
