Just because you are going 5 MPH over the speed limit, this does NOT give you the authority to ride in the left lane.
Some of us are trying to break the law for real.
The 2005 Yankees payroll was 70% higher than the second-highest team in MLB that season.
The 2026 Dodgers payroll (including luxury taxes, according to Spotrac) is 15% higher than the No. 2 team.
The Mets spending nearly as much or more than the Dodgers every year and having a bottom-five record in baseball is why all of the comments about buying championships ring hollow to me. Nothing is guaranteed in baseball, no matter how much money you spend.
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.”
Every other team in baseball is pathetic. This isn’t some unfair free agency signing where the Dodgers made an insane offer. Every other team in baseball could’ve matched this deal but didn’t so they can instead complain about how unfair the Dodgers are and get a salary cap
