Everybody wants to be a Dodger. :blue_heart:

How does someone who lives in Giant territory become a dodger fan? Sounds real……fishy

As you personally know, I live to annoy. So when I came to college in the Bay Area, I became a Dodgers’ fan. Hasn’t been easy, but I am making for lost time now.

I thought their was a wage cap…

There isn’t. There’s a mostly pointless luxury tax. Any attempt to introduce an actual cap has been blocked by the player union and, of course, the Yankees.

Dodgers are also using deferrals, which is reducing their cash payroll. It’s sort of a virtuous cycle with players willing to defer salaries because of the team’s success. The Ohtani deferral of $680m has been a huge injection of interest free cash in a sense. In some cases, players are also accepting lower salaries to play with the Dodgers (Sasaki, Teo, and Tanner).

Sadly it just hurts the sport in the long run.

Maybe. Sport seems to have fared fine despite the Yankees having done it.

This was interesting, I thought:

Has it.

Yankees being mostly shit at picking players has probably led to that but if it’s another LAD V NYY World Series it will start to hurt the sport regardless who you support.

Let’s face it without us the PL would have been dire this last decade.

Maybe ā€œPolar Bear Peteā€ would fancy playing for my hungover softball Sunday league. We’d give him a couple free drinks. Y’know, since nobody else wants the boyo. Gonna stick him in left field, tho.

It’s not just about the Yankees though and hasn’t been for a while (other than for ESPN which has a definite bias). The NL has been fantastic the last few seasons, including Phillies, Atlanta, San Diego, Milwaukee, even the Dbacks. And beyond that look at the recent World Series, including Rangers, Trashtros, Cubs, Devil Rays, Cleveland. And on top of all that here come the Mets.

I also don’t think MLB works like baseball. The playoffs and hot wild card teams have proven that. The TV ratings have been spiking even for the wild card games, which tells me it’s different.
