Teams were paying veteran wages for unproven rookies, thus paying rookies a lot more and veterans a less prior to 2011. So FA costs escalated and 2nd contracts. Balance is needed with rookies (young) and vets on 2nd and 3rd year contracts to maintain a solid roster and also meet cap demands
Very true as well which makes it easier for fans to claim MB is cheap lol
