LOS ANGELES – Regardless of whether the Dodgers do or don't acquire Cliff Lee, the wacky waiver wire machinations that began Friday and might not end until Sunday send one unmistakable message:
The Dodgers are willing to spend money as if it's being made with a PC, scanner and color inkjet printer.
Cliff Lee's enormous contract makes no difference to the free-spending Dodgers. (AP) By claiming Lee hours after the Philadelphia Phillies placed the left-handed starting pitcher on waivers, the Dodgers did what the nine teams beneath them in the National League standings were afraid to do: risk that the Phillies would say, "He's all yours, and enjoy paying the last $110 million of his contract."
Frankly, the Dodgers were hoping the Phillies would tell them that very thing. Money is no object in L.A. right now, not with new ownership hell-bent on winning the National League West and making a postseason run. And doing it now.
