For being a Braves fan I appreciate your honesty and very unbiased view of my Dodgers. Thank you for making such a great in depth video.
Appreciate you man🤙🏼
I was literally about to say the same thing almost word for word. Lol
fr tho, completely unbiased and informative.
Clearly a fan of the game itself and not just his favorite team.
Great breakdown here, it honestly gets funny seeing people just pointing to them buying free agents when the only one they spent big money on was Freddie. This is an expert front office. The other thing that has to be brought up is the Dodgers coaching staff, being able to "fix" as many players as they have is pretty astonishing, not to mention they supposedly treat their farm players better than any organization in the MLB, the players all the way up to double A have traveling chefs, and triple A gets premium catered meals, most other farms just get left over concession food. It's all a well oiled player development machine, and to put it simply, it works wonders for them
Yes, when you have a $265M payroll (tops in the bigs) you can AFFORD to take a lot more risks. They'd better be good having that type of payroll. It's over $100M more than the league average.
Your video editing and presentation is fantastic! Excited to watch this channel explode!
Great video that concisely states what I have been saying for the last five, or so, years. You could argue that when the new ownership initially took over they spent lots of money between 2012 and 2015 on free agents, but since then they have drafted and developed phenomenal talent, and have leveraged their farm system depth to trade for superstars! Betts, Scherzer, Trea, Machado, Darvish, all were big names traded for since 2017, and yet somehow the Dodgers have a consensus top three farm system, if not the best or second best still to this day. Friedman and the front office he has built are genuises!
Great video thanks
Also interesting how some former braves executives from the 90s are part of the dodger ownership group. The team is in good hands
Well done my friend
A major piece was Dave Roberts who worked cohesively with the front office game plan. Roberts brought in a positive mindset with strong work ethics that allowed players to excel and feel respected. Essentially the clubhouse culture was transformed to a winning culture based on a team first mindset. Players bought in to the vision of rotations etc. Throw in the batting and pitching staff the whole nucleus of the Dodgers organization is what makes the team so good.
How many non-Caucasians are on this Dodgers team? I counted 5. How many of them are black? Mookie. This team was so lucky not to have played on Clemente Day the other nite. The Dodgers dodged a definite cancelled moment
Great video. The Dodgers change in culture since Friedman came over has been one of the best turn arounds I’ve seen!
As a correction, I wouldn't say the Dodgers and Angels share the same market. I've noticed that most baseball fans outside of California tend to think that they do. Their stadiums are over an hour away from one another, and the Dodgers' market is one of the largest major metropolitan centers in the world, while the Angels' is pretty much one giant suburb with a couple big amusement parks. I get that they are *_kinda_* close geographically (31 miles), but Los Angeles and Orange County should be considered two distinct markets.
For reference, Dodger Stadium and Angel Stadium are three times further from one another than Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, and Wrigley Field and Guaranteed Rate Field, and two times further from one another than Oracle Park and RingCentral Coliseum.
What a great video
Thank you (insert Michael Scott gif from The Office). Honestly, so many Baseball FB and Twitter trolls, Padres fans, and bandwagoners like to ride on the Dodgers for spending money on talents like Mookie, Freeman, and Trea Turner and neglect to mention how they built up players like Kershaw, Bellinger, Smith, Lux, Buehler, and Urias, taken chances on players like JT, Muncy, Thompson, Anderson, Heaney, and Gallo (who wasn't mentioned in this video and contributes in small ways) and stay competitive. The teams you mentioned (Mets, Angels, Phillies, Padres) make splash trades and signings and it mostly amounts to nothing. The Mets and Phillies are barely figuring it out, while San Diego scuffles and the Angels are hopelessly lost.
Also, yeah, it would be fucked up if the Dodgers still had O'Neil Cruz and Yordan Alvarez. Holy shit, that's too much power.
Also, yeah, for being a Braves fan, you went into this with an unbiased view. Big amount of respect to you.
Friedman has spoken openly about how the money allows them to gamble more like giving 60M to Hector Olivera. Also he has a 10M per year analytics department that projects every single pitch and at bat.
Damn great video... Thought you had thousands of subscribers but to see you barely have under 500 is crazy to me! Great channel and very good insightful video on the Dodgers! Subbed with notis on :)
Appreciate you man! More videos coming soon
5:18 Mookie didn't win World Series MVP in 2020, that was Corey Seager, although the Dodgers wouldn't won the World Series without Mookie. Great video!
Oops. He was so good in those playoffs I just forgot that Corey was a monster as well. Thank You!
Mvp can't be relied on to be a good indicator of who the most valuable player was. Stats dictate mvp's, but stats don't usually tell the whole story.
Coming from a Dodger fan, you nailed it. I tell people it's Friedman's brains & influence that got us where we're at.
You really want to have all players be on the same page. Players gotta be able to speak your language and know where you coming from. Wait til the white supremacists out there start seeing this Dodgers team. They're a white nationalist's wet dream!
Great vid yeah the dodgers org is one if not the best, from top to bottom
I been telling people dodgers turn players to stars like CT3, JT, Trayce Thompson and Max Muncy.
whos trea thompson?
@@thunderclaws3341 Trayce Thompson 👍
@@Carlosab818 oh
Joey Gallo, I’ll give him one year. He still has to adjust to a change of scenery.
Great vid
great breakdown...sure the Dodger's have money to spend but salary caps and penalties limit them so they develop, trade, and scout well.
What salary cap?
I still miss Puig, a postseason dark horse
I will always love the wild horse. Loved watching Puig!
The Dodgers sold for 2 billion in 2012, 2 years before Friedman took over so they were definitely worth more than 293 mil at the time. Either way this was a great video, keep it up
Youre right. What i wws refering to was their net worth which was 293 million
@@InDepthBaseballYT But the statement you made that they went from $293 million to 4 billion is not true. If you’re talking about net worth, that’s something different. But you referenced 4 billion, which is their current valuation, not net worth.
Draft your players. Build your farm system. Call them up. Use the money to resign their contracts.
Man I Remember the dodgers weren’t doing so hot until 2016 is when I saw them start to get the move on and become the unstoppable force they are now
Great video ! Dodgers have come a long way as an organisation since the Mcourt era.
if you make another vid on dodgers like this you should def cover trayce thompson and hanser alberto
LA Dodgers should win 3 of the next 5 World Series
Great ideas/content. Your voice is not your typical radio voice. Maybe you could team up with someone who can deliver the content while you create it.
No thanks
It all started with the hiring of Friedman. Without him the dodgers would not be successful.
Betts, T. Turner, Freeman.....all bought
aged *well*
Your prospects list didn’t include James outman who in our triple AAA team hit for the cycle twice in a week
yeah hes a great player but wasnt in top 100 at the time
Tyler Anderson played with Colorado.
Phil Bickford came from Milwaukee.
Andrew Heaney played for Miami & LAA.
Heath Hembree played for SF & BOS.
Craig Kimbrel played for Atl, SD, Bos, & Chi.
Chris Martin with Col, NYY, Tex, & Atl.
Evan Phillips played with Atl & Bal
Blake Treinen with Wsh & Oak.
Alex Vesia from Mia.
Freddie Freeman played with Atl.
Max Muncy started in Oak.
Trea Turner with Wsh.
Mookie Betts played with Bos.
Joey Gallo with Tex & NYY.
Chris Taylor from Sea.
Trayce Thompson came from CWS.
That’s not a team that’s built from with in. Not to mention how many big contacts they’ve handed out. That’s what you call a bought team. I’m a Yankee fan I know all too well about buying teams. Calling up players from your farm system and developing them and winning championships is the only way you can say your team isn’t bought. Not one team in baseball does this anymore. They’re all bought teams or ML farm systems because teams like Bal & Oak can’t afford to keep their best guys around come contract years.
Hate the system, not the player Dodgers all the way!!
@@steveparker2704 lmfao took a shortened season to win a title. When you say all the way do you mean as long as it’s not more than 60 games ?
@@billbills7158 Every one had the same chance still counts
@@steveparker2704 lmfao only if you would’ve repeated the following year. But ya didn’t.
Nice.
You're a bit hard to understand, but the substance is there. Maybe slow down a bit? If it's a minute longer, that's fine.
Cheers from Korea
Appreciate it. Working on that
This channel will blow up soon, one of the better baseball analysis channels. Keep it up bro
Appreciate you bigtime. Trying to pump out videos more often!
Dodgers didn't "fall short" in 2017. They were cheated.
VERY well done sir!
the Dodgers being "built not bought" has to be the biggest joke in mlb history
Class act for sure where discarded players on other teams have turned their careers around even the GM from Seattle admitted publicly trading utility player Chris Taylor was a mistake.
If you’re old enough to remember Daryl Strawberry and Eric Davis……this ain’t that
*** Purchased an MLB juggernaut ***
Mookie, Turner, Freeman…built differently!
Now do the ‘24 Dodgers.
Seager was the 2020 WS mVP
I do believe if you take all of dodgers' top 20 prospect in MLB ranking and compare to all the list in top 100 prospect in MLB, I tell you what all of them should be on that top 100 list. That is how good the Dodgers' farm system is.
The scouting team is just outstanding
I get what you’re saying, but on the way ther hand if a team like the cardinals had the same payroll as the dodgers they’d definitely be dominating.
I remember when Friedman traded Gordon and kemp I was pissed. Those were still two flashy all star type players at the time and he traded them for names not as known but it seemed to work .. still wish kemp spent his career as a dodger he loved LA
Kemp will always be a Dodger
Greatness has nothing to do with getting caught cheating. Cheating is now part of the game. Getting caught also part of the game.
Dodgers best team in Major League Baseball !! World Series or bust !! Go Dodgers ! Julio Urias for Cy Young !!!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
The world series win they had the second highest payroll not the second lowest
As a dodgers fan much respect for making this video nice job and keep up the good work
Like your Rams logo
@@steveparker2704 thanks
When you trade ML prospects for current stars that is home grown. Alvarez Ruiz Hernandez etc… now the bank roll to pay is a different story. Let me check with the Yankees about that.
Great review. GO DODGERS
Bought!!!! As a yankee fan I used to try to convince myself 2009 wasn't bought myself...I get the defense but it's bought..You can give up prospects for players when you don't need them because whatever you need you can buy...These teams are working alot differently than the other 90%....The Padres took a shot but in 2 years the clearing house will begin...There is no clearing house in NY and LA
Yankees and Dodgers world series! Baseball needs the Yankees to be good!
This vid is SPOT ON! And it means even more coming from a neutral party! Had you not mentioned you were a supporter of a different team one would think you were a Dodger fan! Very good piece! I wish all those Twitter trolls would watch this.
Joey Gallo has stated that he was surprised with the detailed plan the Dodgers had for his development after he joined the team. Seems to have paid off.
Sorry Gallo is a bust
Lots of money
W video
This is an excellent breakdown. Casual fans throw out, "salary cap", "they can buy anyone" etc and my counter has always been, "Great. Now what's your excuse for why your team isn't as successful as Tampa?"... The Dodgers do a better job with player development than any other organization in the sport. Atlanta, Tampa, and Oakland are in that category as well. Unlike teams like Houston or Chicago that tanked to build their contending roster, LA has sustained success for a decade with the development, gem finding, and moving parts. Their ownership is committed to winning and Friedman is the best executive in the game. They'll continue to be a force for a long time.
You are not making any sense. By having a payroll of over $300MM they ARE attempting to buy World Series. You can't mention the Braves, Tampa (especially Tampa) and the Dodgers in the same sentence. It's frankly an embarrassment that they don't win it every year.
you make no sense at all. they have no cap when it comes to getting players. so they can easily BUY a superteam by offering higher than other teams for a player. sorry to burst your bubble, but houston has a better team that dodgers all around.
Above me are two casual fans that only prove op's point...
@@LAsuperfly94 right? it’s like these morons went straight to the comment section and didn’t watch the video at all. true meaning of a casual fan.
Freddie Freeman, Trea Turner, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts, Chris Taylor, Austin Barnes, Hanser Alberto, Max Muncy... the list goes on and on. These aren't home grown talents. They trade prospects (who are a crapshoot) for expensive high end talent. There are maybe 5 teams in the league that have the payroll capabilities to be able to do this. They aren't "building a team" they are using their superior cash reserves to buy and retain the best of the best at OBSCENE costs.
Dodgers are just smarter and very forward-thinking. Sure, they have money, but they also draft and trade circles around other organizations. Dodgers always had the best farm system, hence the reason they've won the most ROY awards in MLB history. When they do spend money, it always seems to be well spent. They're not like the Padres and Mets blowing mountains of money just to miss the playoffs. 😂
As a Dodger fan FINALLY someone agrees with my perspective. Thank you for doing such a great job delivering this and you earned yourself a sub!
forgot about trevor bauer fa
But they do have one of the highest pay rolls...
Next time a Padres fan wants to run their mouth by saying “dodgers bought their team”, I’m sending them this video
I wouldn’t even give them that. Just Pat them on the back and say chill lil bro. Padre fans hate hearing there is no rivalry.
Truth is I respect and hate the giants. Padres tho….ahhhh it’s lil bro, get them in a headlock noogie 🤣
Lmao, Betts Turner and Freeman all traded for and or bought. Nothing is home grown here. Good try though little buddy.
@@nickfuryz Well let’s see heeeere, since it looks like you have it all down. How did lazy Machado, yu hoo darvish and soto end up on the padres? 🥱
You guys gave up the farm for Soto and might not make the playoffs. Be humble lil bro 🤫
@@keepitmovin4028 who the fuck cares about the padres? This video is about the doyers buying their team, and then making the laughable claim that it is "built not bought" LOL. Yeah that shit is hilarious. But nice try with that deflection bro.
Friedman (the reason), Guggenheim (ownership), Stadium management, player development,
and the fans showing up in record numbers to support a winning team .Ownership has done a tremendous job renovating the stadium which is also bringing in revenue.
What? Look at their starting lineup: how many of their starters (both hitters and pitchers) were originally drafted by them?
They shoulda built a real World Series trophy ☠️☠️☠️☠️
hilarious
What really changed the Dodgers was the ownership and the commitment of said ownership to have the Dodgers be good again!!
Todd boehly ❤️
Mc court almost ruined the Dodgers
Like the video and understand your points cuz I’m a Dodger fan but if I wasn’t a lot of the points you made would be cloudy. Saying “you know how that went” No I don’t why don’t you tell me lol
Built not bought but the best 3 dodger hitters weren’t even in the dodgers farm system 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They out spend every one else!
Great stuff man
this is exactly the video people need to see. I'm sick of the "Dodgers only buy superstars and buy their team" bullshit
They have a $265M payroll - that's over $100M more than league average. They spend more per season on their starting infield than most other teams do on their entire roster.
Great video! Liked, subbed and now commenting to bless you with the TH-cam algorithm. Keep it up!
Angels have Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, that’s pretty much all they have going for them.
It’s been proven time and time again the front office plays an important role in building winning teams and more importantly for sustainable dynasties, a winning culture.
I always acknowledge that the Dodgers development has been unbelievable and it seems like some superstar talent is coming from their farm very often. It does help being able to sign a massive star every offseason too.
We only signed 1 star unlike the padres etc
@@mcee1993 And traded for Mookie Betts... and Trea Turner... and Max Scherzer (though no longer with the team)...
The salary of those 3 players is more than MANY organizations entire payroll. Those 3 alone in yearly salary are close to $100M. Give me a break.
Definitely BOUGHT . Whats their 2 argue look at their payroll this year
Jeez
Every year top pay roll . Put mookie betts, trea turner, freedie freeman in any team . Almost guaranteed they make playoffs .
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I never had a problem with Alvarez trade because at the time NL didn't have the DH and there was nowhere to play him. Would've been nice if they got more for him, but, they got what they got. the Cruz trade is looking like a huge mistake. although there was a backlog at shortstop too.
The Dodgers have always been able to identify top pitching. I mean always! And that is half the game. Throw in a knucklehead trade like the Mookie Betts deal and scrape up the leavings of Turner, etc. that you can throw out for free if they don’t work out…..
Can't wait to see you do a video on the braves!
Loved this video, thank you for stating the facts 🙌🏽
Fantastic video
Facts bro. Any team would spend the money if they had it.
Most teams have the money and are to cheap to spend it
Not the Athletics
I like how you didn’t include James Outman as one of the top prospects and he’s looking like a future superstar. Says a lot about how good the Dodgers farm system is.
Crazy thing is Outman isn't even inside most top 10 prospect lists for the Dodgers' system lol!!! He's usually listed around 11-15.
They bought those 3 players you have on the thumbnail
There is no way to shed the narrative that the dodgers are made of money when they quite literally spend more money than any other team in the MLB. I think they spent 61 million more dollars on their 21 roster than the second highest team. I mean cmon
O
Best thing that happened was the exit of McCourt
*Bought
Having a $300 million payroll, is LITERALLY, buying a championship...weather the players are there organically, or were bought via free agency, the fact is, that they can pay max dollars for the best players when needed...only the large market teams can do that...Freeman, and Betts were not drafted by the Dodgers...Here's s thought...What if ALL of MLB just realigned into 2 leagues, with large market teams/divisions in one league (call them the haves), and all of the small/middle market teams in the other (the have-nots)...this way both NY teams, LA/Cali, Chicagos, etc. can whore out their zillion dollar payrolls against each other, while the other league can draft wisely, and still have chances to make it to the World Series...
One correction: Mookie was not the World Series MVP in 2020, that was Corey Seager.
Dodgers havent won a WS under a full 162 game season schedule since 1988. And dont give me the "players and owners had no control over the season" babble b/c those both sides could have started to play in June, but they let so much time pass to where 120 games became 80 and eventually agreed to 60. But you know what? This wouldnt be disputed if they just did it again. Champions gotta defend their crown to show they aint no fluke. They gotta validate it over and over until dynasty becomes an empire.
Dodgers have the most. Guardians have 5 top #100 prospects. Not sure where you got the 9 from
When you have no budget cap, its definitely a bought team
So every MLB team is bought then?
FYI that’s not jeter downs in the pic
Money, saved y'all from watching the video
You can have a great front office and buy a team. It will always be a mix of home grown players and some big sign and trades or out right signings
Yankees are the most bought team tbh we (LA) have the best farm club don know how many other clubs can say the same
Wait are you telling me Frank Mc court wasn't a good owner/ Damn near killed the Dodgers
It’s crazy how we’re the only city in every major sport that has a specific chant against us for every single team. 👀 says a lot If everyone is trying to Beat LA
Almost as many people leaving LA too lol 😂
Still trying to be like the Giants
@@bobbleheadbob lol still pays the bills for the rest of the pathetic states
Great video. Well done
