I’m tired of saying this.
The Dodgers aren't what's wrong with baseball.
They draft well. They develop talent. They spend because they generate revenue, and they reinvest it into winning. That's what every fanbase says it wants its ownership to do…..
If your frustration is with the sport's economics, payroll structure, or owners unwilling to spend, that's a different conversation. But don't blame the team that's simply maximizing EVERY advantage WITHIN THE RULES!
Hey Dodger haters: what were they supposed to do? Not try their hardest to three-peat? Not take advantage of having the best farm system in the bigs? Apologize for having one of the best organizations in all of sports? Just stop. #dodgers
Ken Rosenthal says that the Dodgers acquiring Tarik Skubal has nothing to do with money or salary cap:
“Every team could afford the remaining $9.4 million on Skubal’s contract.”
The Dodgers just acquired arguably the best pitcher in baseball for prospects they acquired in deals where they sent away Michael Busch…. and Matt Beaty
If you think they acquired Tarik Skubal because they have money shut the hell up
