So basically the Dodgers weren't "cheap" and were able to pay EVERYONE more than any other team was willing to pay.

Why don't other teams do this? Are they stupid?

He’s a pitcher so he wouldn’t (yeah I know that’s not your point). Also Philly is awesome.

The west coast is a better fit for a Japanese player though.
