OT: Any Dodger Fans on Here?

[jteten]

If so, F you.

Dodgers have turned into the Yankees, just keep shelling out money to buy championships.

 

[little a]

F them

They have 2 world series trophies since the 70s. The shortened seasons don't count. It's stupid though. MLB needs a salary cap and floor

I will “defer” my comments on this subject until a later date.

To be clear, that would be the George Steinbrenner Yankees who like the current Dodgers’ owners had no spending limits. Since papa George died 15 years ago his son Hal Steinbrenner has been writing the checks. Anyone owning the Yankees or Dodgers will have a huge financial edge based on the local tv and attendance market size but Hal has been routinely outbid for the top players including his attempt to re-sign Soto a couple months ago and the top Japanese stars for several years.

The issue is deferred money! I that must stop. They are beating the salary tax, which is partial cap, but broken now.

Yep, they found a loophole in the system and they are taking full advantage of it. It is going to make even that much harder for smaller market teams to compete.

It will be up to the other owners to put a stop to it.

Back in my youth I liked the royals and the dodgers. Steve Garvey etc.
