OT: Any Dodger Fans on Here?

[jteten]

If so, F you.

 

[Clemke32]

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

 

[little a]

F them

 

[mwulf]

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

 

[TFrazier]

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.

jealous?
Ha.. could be another championship now back to back with Sasaki signing.

Face it, it’s Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, Mets, Rangers, Braves for the foreseeable future

Problem with baseball is several teams have huge payrolls and their guys either get hurt or don’t produce. And some stars that are past their prime can’t just be cut because contracts are fully guaranteed

Want more parity in baseball in just one single rule change? Get rid of guaranteed contracts

Baseball contracts are the biggest jokes in sports. That’s why we love football

 

[bigboxes]

Hard cap

 

[huntered]

the evil empire must be stopped

 

[BigRedTed]

I only wish I was a Dodgers fan. Instead I'm stuck with the shitty Pirates...

What's that joke about men picking their favorite sports teams when they're 5 and allowing it to make them miserable for the rest of their lives? Lol that's sums things up perfectly

Only communists and socialists support caps over the unchecked free market

Been saying that forever. But it’ll never happen. Just have to learn to accept it and deal with it.

Hal is doing a solid job keeping the Yankees from adding more of the top hardware

 

[mgbreis]

The Dodgers have a hell of a farm system. It’s called every other team in baseball… and Japan.
