Many are justifying the Kyle Tucker signing, by saying that any owner could spend like the Dodgers but “they just don’t want to win enough”. This is the most idiotic take I’ve ever seen. It shows you know nothing about the business side of the game.
MLB let Dodgers keep almost all of their TV Money. They are the only team that gets to do this because of negotiations during the McCourt Bankruptcy.
After the bankruptcy settlement, They negotiated the largest local TV deal in all of MLB but the settlement amount subject to revenue share was based on the OLD contract. They do not have to share most of their TV money and this is what allows the insane spending. Again, they are 1 of 30 teams to get this carveout from the league and the only team who could even attempt to spend like this.
Stop saying other owners are cheap. None of them have a special exemption on revenue sharing for their TV contracts like the Dodgers do. MLB Created this situation.
