I’m not denying the crazy payroll, this is more of a personal curiosity / tracker to see how many of these wins are driven by the highest paid players versus the homegrown/internation/traded for players. But I don’t want to see I lockout. I want the players to be happy and no MLB player wants a salary cap.
@BenCampbe There are certainly some highly paid FA, but most of the team has been homegrown, international signings, or traded for homegrown players.

In today’s episode of the Dodgers’ payroll buying championships.
Tommy Edman, picked up from the Cardinals at the 2024 deadline in a three-team deal. The Dodgers sent Miguel Vargas and two prospects to the White Sox and got Edman back from St. Louis. Then they extended him. 2026 cash is about $6 million after deferrals.
Teoscar Hernández, signed after the Mariners didn’t even give him a qualifying offer.
Max Muncy, released by the A’s in 2017 and signed to a minor-league deal. He homered.
Andy Pages singled two of them in. He was an international signing.
Kyle Tucker advanced to third. That one they (over)paid for.
Tyler Glasnow started. Acquired from the Rays in December 2023 for Ryan Pepiot and Jonny DeLuca, then extended.
Alex Vesia came out of the bullpen. Traded from the Marlins in 2021 for Dylan Floro.
Edgardo Henriquez followed him. Signed out of Venezuela in 2018 for an international bonus.
Tanner Scott and Edwin Díaz finished it. Paid for. $72M & $69M, which cost them a qualifying-offer pick.
No player in baseball wants a cap.
