No, and one of the reasons he doesn't is he doesn't just throw his money 
around at losing propositions.  He wants the Braves to make money just like 
his other businesses.  That means setting a budget for payroll and sticking 
to it.  He could just spend as much money as it takes to sign everyone he 
wants, and I'm sure he could afford that, but he didn't get where he was by 
spending money foolishly.
