@Padres_Burner69 lol nothing more tragic than a bitter Padres fan, team with a history of absolutely nothing but losing and these are the moments you guys live for. How sad, at least your ball park is nice right? 💀😂

@StealthPicks86 @barstoolsports Ain’t nothing funny about what’s been going on with the Mets this season 🤣 and if seeing Diaz struggle brings you this much joy, well that says it all lol

[EmpireJeff @EmpireJeffTV]

The Los Angeles Dodgers put back $345 million dollars back into the MLB ecosystem for other teams who chose not to spend their money to receive theirs...

Show me another industry where other owners of other competitive companies received roughly 35% of your Revenue simply to not spend their own...

Those who pocketed that cash and didn't put it back into their teams are there true ruiners of baseball and if you disagree with that go cry to your participation trophies because we don't care...

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@Nutzypoo_ttv @TheRealJHair @TheRealHoz35 Those that are ran poorly and could care less about winning. The brewers have been a move or 2 away a few times but they refuse to take that risk and potentially sacrifice prospects and regular season success for a real shot at a championship.

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@Nutzypoo_ttv @TheRealJHair @TheRealHoz35 Both would be absolutely fine in a free market because they are top tier organizations that care about winning. They also draft and develop at a high level which will always attract enough star power to compete. A cap won’t bridge the gap between orgs who are ran correctly &

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@bluelineren @DamonDawg @justin_hicken That is literally the issue. Other teams like the brewers who have a World Series window NOW are afraid to go all in and potentially sacrifice prospects to win a World Series. That’s insane, they would rather be mid forever than take a shot when their current group is peaking

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@Saquon_Gleyber lol a Yankees fan crying about a dynasty being bad for a sport is insane 😂😂😂

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@MrP5871 @alma_182 So I’m just supposed to stop being a fan of the team I’ve loved for 22 years because they’re shitting on the rest of the league right now?😂 the dodgers don’t miss, plenty of teams have tried buying championships like you say but have failed because they don’t sign the right guys

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@billybob9371 @ianmSC Can’t afford to go all in and trade prospects for a 3 month rental? Even more of a reason to go all in when you have a shot to win the World Series if they can’t afford an opportunity every year like you say. All teams like the brewers do is rebuild, get close, sell & repeat

[Doug McKain @DMAC_LA]

Never forget: the same people saying "Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers would cause a lockout" are the exact same people who spent years saying the Dodgers were wasting all that money & assets just to lose in October. Funny how the narrative changes when the Dodgers start winning.

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@Nutzypoo_ttv @spalazz22 What’s funny about this is if we get a cap players will still want to sign with top tier orgs like the Dodgers even if it means taking less money. We already see this happen in other sports, superstars are willing to take less if it means they have a shot to win every year

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@itsfedex The goalposts move on a daily basis 😂

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@DamonDawg @justin_hicken What does the Dodgers trading prospects for a 3 month rental have to do with a salary cap? If you’re gonna cry about this at least wait till there’s news of an extension lol that is not likely to happen. Maybe teams shouldn’t be so afraid to go all in and dump top prospects.

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@WizKayTV @TomScibelli This much of a fleece screams rental tho, other teams got cold feet about giving up top prospects because Skubal probably wouldn’t commit long term,. I don’t think this has anything to do with a lack of cap but more about other orgs just being scared to take chances

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@gavyngarretson7 @NationPadres Have you ever thought that maybe some of these organizations just suck at developing prospects? All of these guys leave the dodgers in the middle of their development and then they go to shit in other orgs. When the Dodgers do keep prospects they almost always have success

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@hoodiemuIe Prospects are just prospects at the end of the day, it is up to these other organizations to finish the job and get them big league ready when they make these trades. When the Dodgers do see it thru and develop guys till they’re big league ready they almost always see success

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@hoodiemuIe I see this a lot and I just don’t see how you manipulate every single organization into believing that your prospects are better because of rankings lol they all have scouting departments who dedicate themselves to evaluating talent in other farm systems

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@StephenNelson You’re the man @StephenNelson! The whole SportsnetLA crew is top-notch, we really are spoiled no matter who is on the call.

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@WillieKnowsBall BA is not the first player to ever have guarantees voided due to not complying with contractual obligations but that doesn’t mean his whole deal should be voided. That is not how contracts work, again he probably shouldn’t read and understood that before signing

[Torres @jTorres8_]

@WillieKnowsBall The only reason the niners are currently not obligated to pay him is because BA stopped showing up and he is on the left squad list. If we would just get out of his way for a minute file for reinstatement and show up to training camp he would 100% be granted his release.
