Coming from a Mets fan is hilarious. Top-5 payroll in baseball the past 5 seasons. Traded PCA for shit, Signed a player to the biggest contract in North American History only to miss the playoffs B2B seasons.
Lmaoo plus why are people pissed they traded minor league players? 🤣
This is coordinated; all the owners want this. They want the Dodgers to do this so they have public support when they lose the 2027 season. It's all been the game plan from Day 1. @KFCBarstool sees it too.
Insane: On the 24th day of the month, and in the 81st NBA season, LeBron James signs with the Philadelphia 76ers, Kobe Bryant’s birthplace.
We should’ve known all along. (h/t @fliff)
🚨🚨🚨
Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
Craig Counsell doesn’t appear to be a fan of the rule where two-way players aren't counted against the 13-pitcher roster limit: “And then there’s one team that’s allowed to carry basically one of both, and that he gets special consideration. Which is probably the most bizarre rule. ... For one team.”

With all of the vitriol directed towards the Dodgers, remember:
The Red Sox chose not to sign Mookie Betts and traded him to LA.
Atlanta walked away from Freddie Freeman.
The Angels declined to match Shohei Ohtani's offer.
The Astros and Cubs didn't want to keep Kyle Tucker.
🗣️ There’s a reason why why 1 team in the past 10 years (Royals) who is considered a “small market” won the World Series. Trading away their star players, instead of keeping them and build something.
-And I’m supposed to feel bad for a team that shares the same market as the Packers and Bucks (who sell out and try and put a winning product for their teams)
-Makes playoffs. Made it to the NLCS this year
-Gets shared revenue.
-But $8 mill is too much for an ace.
Got it.
Brewers continue to field offers on ace pitcher Freddy Peralta, a free agent after 2026. Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Giants and Braves among many, many interested teams. Peralta $8M salary means anyone can afford, including Brewers, but extension tougher for small markets.
Don’t think people comprehend how much money Dodgers make off of Ohtani
They will raise prices on Beer, food, merch, etc.
But guess what? They will continue to draw 3-4 Million fans to the ballpark because this ownership isn’t just keeping the money they are making off Ohtani.
Yes, they have a TV deal that’s lucrative. What do you want them to do? Not spend? Not trade for Mookie? Not have the best Farm? Not have organizational structure?

I absolutely envy the approach for Blue Jays. All their players know their role, and not trying to do too much.
Meanwhile, you got the Dodgers taking pitches right down the dick, but proceed to try and hit a low-outside slider out.
Sheehan’s balls were so big after the 8th you needed a wheel barrel to pick them up. Why not let him go for the 9th with a day off tomorrow?
Seems like Dave is using the seniority card for this bullpen and ignore anything that happened leading up to this postseason.
Jesus.
