@mattckimball @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory Yeah I don’t get the excuse for billionaires. The more upsetting thing is that people are siding with them. It’s a pretty logical conclusion everyone should be able to come to.

@CAP6942069 @TeaWithTakayama @RyanHagen31 @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory He has no idea what he’s talking about. You’re right, he’s loud and wrong.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory And the luxury tax helps smaller market teams but they pocket the money like the A’s who were going to get hit with a grievance until they locked up some of their players. The A’s aren’t the only small market team to do this, it’s all of them.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory Yeah because the Mets and their financial dominance has really helped them right?

Money isn’t the only reason the dodgers are good. They draft really really well too and make sound trades. Even the guys they sign, they don’t miss often but there’s a skill to that.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory Floor yes, get the 10 teams who don’t spend money to.

Cap does nothing to help a competitive balance. In football and basketball, there’s still dynasties and baseball has done well with the exception of the dodgers in the last 2 years.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory I made 5 points and you addressed none of them. I think teams like the marlins can compete they just choice not to because the owner wants to line his pocket with luxury tax money. Again, in 2025, they made 300 million but put a 70 towards their payroll.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory No the chiefs aren’t a dynasty, neither are the pats or eagles in recent years right?

LeBron has made it to how many finals with super teams? The cap really helped with that problem.

Do you watch are you just saying stuff to try to win an argument?

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory What does that have to do with spending?

We’re talking about spending money, not taking on a contract for 2 months.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory It’s an excuse for owners to not spend.

It doesn’t add anything competitively, look at the dynasties in football and basketball.

It makes the offseason boring. Omg, 4 teams offered the same player a max deal. Fun!

Kills the union.

Players won’t get their full market share.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory Brother, if the brewers spent even a little
Bit, they’d have won multiple rings by now and you we wouldn’t be talking about a lockout or an unfair playing field.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @NickCappiello @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @CardTerritory BS. Every team can and if they can’t, mlb should force them to sell.

Between tax sharing, revenue sharing, tickets, jersey sales, concessions all the owners can compete. More and more teams run their team like a business and it’s not, it’s a game.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@FoustDonnie @TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory Why don’t other teams defer contracts too? The dodgers didn’t invent doing this lol

I get closing this loophole a bit, but I don’t think there’s anything really wrong with it.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory No, you are defending them. Factually, what I said about the Marlins, was that wrong? You’re telling me if the marlins didn’t invest 50+60 more in 2025 they couldn’t compete with big market teams? If the brewers spent a little bit, everyone would have an issue with them.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory In 2025 the marlins made 300 million and had a payroll of 70 million by the way.

You don’t know what you’re talking about and your defending billionaires. Pretty gross.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @JKDodgers @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory You getting cooked? Yeah brother.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @wulverzwitz @NickCappiello @CardTerritory You realize that teams like the dodgers and any other team over the luxury tax gives money to small market teams right? On top of what they make from ticket sales, concession stands and jersey sales.

It’s not like the owners aren’t making millions a year.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@TeaWithTakayama @getchusummm @CardTerritory Receipt:

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@wulverzwitz @TeaWithTakayama @NickCappiello @CardTerritory Admit he was wrong? Never.

If a team can’t afford to pay players where the league is headed, sell the team. These owners cry empty pockets meanwhile they are billionaires.

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@Metsmaniac26 @SleeperMets @WillSammon This is actually a major concern lol

[Soup @DaWriterGuy123]

@yungmodelo @Jolly_Olive Take a seat bud.
