The club hasn’t come close to returning to Bobby Evans-era spending levels since they handed the reins to Farhan Zaidi five years ago. Would they consider broaching the luxury tax threshold? Maybe for one year, maybe for the right player, Johnson said.“But,” he said, “we also represent a group that hopefully our goal is to somewhat break even, which is somewhat of a challenge in this business.”Jo...
