are the new Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies!!

Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and now Mark Buehrle.......

They only sign guys with no NTC, which means like previous times, if they win and they can't pay these guys, they will trade them away to dump salary a year or two down the road.

Couldn't land Pujols, since he refuses to sign a NTC deal.

Should be an interesting year in the NLEast, with Washington making deals and the Phillies as power houses. Mets are gonna be basement dwellers, but I wonder if the Braves can manage to keep up.

NTC?

The acronym hits my brain as "no trade clause", which doesn't make sense with the rest of your post.

Jeff Loria spending money is good for baseball. With that said, if you look at the way the contracts are structured, they are incredibly back-loaded. My thoughts are that Loria, after sticking tax-payers with the bill for a new stadium, is trying to make a huge early revenues push and trying to buy a championship caliber team. After two-three years of strong earnings and competitive success he plans on dumping the team, selling high, and turning a tidy profit for himself; while sticking the new owners with a team riddled with bloated contracts (escapable via the lack of NTCs) in a Florida market which is notorious for diminishing fan support.

Please explain how a no trade clause makes them tradable in a few years?

I would think a no trade clause means that player couldn't be traded...

But that's just me.

That's what was meant. There are no "no trade clauses".
