@@JoshuaMartian-go3tmThe haters don't care who had the highest payroll unless they're winning the World Series. The Yankees haven't won it since 2009. This payroll argument is absolutely stupid. High payroll doesn't mean crap when there's no guarantee this contract even work out. The Dodgers winning the World Series and still spending is why they're getting so much hate. That would be the case with any high payroll team that's winning it all.
As a White Sox fan, I don’t mind when another team spends money. I care about my team being mismanaged and unwilling to spend money. A salary cap isn’t the answer. A salary floor is.
The problem with the salary floor is the players will not accept a cap without a floor and the owners will not accept a floor without a cap So the whole thing is a non starter.
no lol a team that deferred it's big contracts is bad for baseball lol. They have so much cash the luxury tax doesn't bother them. Need a salary cap, who the hell is going to compete against a team that walked to a WS easily in 24 when they're adding even more. It's bs and if it was your team playing in the same division against them you'd feel the same way.
@@FMXndMXismylife Players have to agree on the deferral though. Mets, Yankees, Red Sox could do the exact same thing. Hell even with Ohtani the other teams I believe offered the same exact thing as the Dodgers, but he chose the Dodgers.
Dodgers are absolutely getting Roki. Last year was a nightmare either way pitching injuries and the front office has PTSD. Can’t have enough pitching. Rotation will be (in no particular order) Shohei, Glasnow, Snell, Yamamoto, Roki, with the rest of the guys as backups and making spot starts.
@@CCtheRapperman And the more pitching they get, the less they need to try and push along Ohtani's recovery. It'd be interesting to see if they use Ohtani out of the pen as a closer instead.
A 31 year old who's only regressing does not get you closer to a ring you clown. Plus L.A.s arms are made of glass...only a matter of time before he gets injured 😂😂
The Texas Rangers spent so much money to win their World Series and everyone loved them. The Dodgers built up a team and then spent money around it and suddenly they are bad for baseball. Before this year it was “Playoffs is a crapshoot” now people want to complain it’s not fair
Yep good point about the Rangers and don’t forget the Padres went on spending binges too. Also, the Dodgers had one of the most homegrown teams from 2015-2020 and only got the covid championship with them and then that got mocked…so the hell with these people now lol y’all poked the bear so deal with it
I’m not upset about what the Dodgers are doing but let’s not act like all 30 teams can attract free agents like LA. My Guardians sure as hell aren’t in the running for any big time free agents to come to Cleveland.
I guess folks aren’t laughing and making jokes about the last decade of the Dodgers. The jokes have stopped and the crying has started. My how the tides have turned. It ain’t funny anymore is it?
Yep. They even said "oh they spend so much money and nothing to show for it...oh they won the 2020 WS is mickey mouse"...they get Ohtani and then win the WS and try to get better...and all of sudden "waaaah we need a salary cap waahhhh we this is bad for baseball...the ratings said no.
What’s crazy to me is that Blake Snell was just a free agent last year coming off a Cy Young season and no team in the entire league wanted to give him a long term deal at his asking price. That’s entirely their right but it’s funny how after hearing every excuse why he isn’t worth it last offseason (injury prone, walks too many batters, doesn’t pitch deep into games, lack of innings pitched in general, etc.) now so many people have an issue because the Dodgers signed him. If other teams didn’t want to offer him this kind of contract that’s on them. I’m even seeing some Padres fans who a year ago were saying they were fine with him leaving in free agency, that he was overrated and that the team that signed him would be overpaying, now complaining that the Dodgers are an unfair unbeatable superteam because of this. How are you gonna complain about the Dodgers signing someone that you said you didn’t want to keep?
Dodgers are awful for the league if they continue to dominate after getting every star free agent every year. If you think other owners won’t spend now, wait until they come to the conclusion of why even try when LA is a super team of other teams homegrown talent. Game will end up like Euro Soccer where most teams are irrelevant.
Blame the owners that never want to spend. They groom top end talent then let it walk because “they can’t afford it”. The Pirates should’ve had about 3-4 deep runs in the past decade considering the talent that’s come through there.
This isn't actually true. The NFL has the most parity. The reason certain teams dominate is down to how they are run and play more than anything financial.
Not that this the teams downfall but all these analysts mentioning Bobby Miller when he had a War of -2 last year with an Era close to 8. They're not watching regular season dodgers lol
He’s 25 years old coming off a dominant rookie season. His stuff is unquestionable. He just needs to figure out the mental side and he’ll be a dominant middle of the rotation arm.
I am not a Dodgers fan and I can see where a salary cap can even things out for baseball but honestly, it takes the Tommy Edman's to give you those clutch hits that teams need to win. Dodgers won't win the World Series every year but with that payroll, they can make it easier to be NL West champions every year.
Dodgers only under the microscope because they just came off a WS win after spending huge last offseason. But go back 2 years ago when they got bounced out in the DS, laughed at yet again and called chokers, then went into the offseason and lost Trey Turner to the Phillies while getting absolutely nobody they wanted like DeGrom…nobody felt sorry for us then…so yeah I don’t mind this at all.
I feel like they only did this because they wanted a lefty. I would've thought they would bring back Walker Buehler for a lower price and pursue Teo a bit more aggressively, but really I'm just mad at my Mariners reportedly setting an off-season budget that is less that 1/3 of Snell's SIGNING BONUS. The league needs a salary floor, among other things to bring back more parity
It seems it means they arent signing soto more than not going after roki. Seems like it was sign soto to 600mil or a free agent pitcher with roki and teoscar resign.
First Happy Thanksgiving to all the great Baseball Fans out there that follow this great show and to Chris and Plouffe and to JBM. Not a Dodgers fan but I believe this can be good for baseball. Super teams come and go. Not the first time for baseball. The players will age and perhaps the contracts will handcuff the team. But the Dodgers have a big brand. So good for baseball. TY all.
Just because Dodgers got Snell doesn't mean they're not going after Sasaki lol. Sasaki will be on a minor league contract. Dodgers will go after him no matter what.
I think a lot of the immediate "this is bad for baseball" people are likely still reeling from the WS and then the first big free agent signs and of course its the dodgers and all those things kinda compound. Are they a super team? Sure. Is this good for baseball? It absolutely is, wether or not you think so is up to you. I would be open to having a salary floor/ceiling but until then I will continue to ask, why don't other teams do it? Every team is owned by a billionaire(s) that could easily spend loads of money on a whim. So why don't they?
I’ve never seen a player quite implode like that who wasn’t injured…or was he? Really don’t know it’s a total mystery with that guy but not counting on him going forward
Guardians in 2023 made 315 million in revenue and there payroll was 88 million come on talke about teams don't have the money the dodgers do that's what's bad for baseball
Larry dolan is literally a top 5 wealthiest owner in all of baseball stop it lmao if he really cared about the team he’d break out the checkbook plain and simple
I'd love for my team to have the mentality and resources of the dodgers. Just go out and get like 8 quality starters and if half are healthy ur golden. Wow and if they get sasaki too they could have a legit 6 man rotation. Would actually probly be good for ohtani, sasaki, and Glasgow who will lrobly all be on innings restrictions
You get what you pay for. It’s absolutely true with most things in life. I don’t know how anyone can be a fan of a team that won’t spend right up to the luxury tax limit. If you aren’t, then you aren’t trying. Love the move. Back to back in the house baby. Sign Teo please!
The "cap" is a joke, the punishment for going over needs to change to something that would actually make a team think twice if they actually care about parity. Forfeit a draft pick for each tier you over or something.
Are they up to a million dollars per start yet? If you use the basic AAV for the contracts (full 70 for Ohtani), then they're probably really close. Yamamoto and Ohtani only make 16m combined next year even though their AAV hit is 100m . (I realize Ohtani's actually AAV is about 46, but this isnt a cap argument, its about the value) Spend it if you got it, I guess lol
Who needs sleep Edit: I’m with Trevor on the food takes. Good call on the smoked turkey too. So juicy and flavorful. That’s the best way to have it. And I’m always on mashed potato duty because mine are the best per my family. A little lumpy. Hand mashed. Come at me, Rosey.
The financial situation is out of whack in baseball because you got owners who only keep payrolls of $40-50 million dollars. How do you expect your team to compete when the owners self impose a shoe string budget because they’re cheap? Salary cap won’t stop the vast majority owners being cheap, want owners to spend, install a salary floor.
I disagree w/ your sentiment that players and managers deserve support, even if the team doesn't. A) They're inextricably linked, and B) These players will leave for greener pastures and more money the first chance they get. How often do you see a player offer a team a hometown discount? It doesn't happen very often. Essentially, Paul Skenes is still a minor leaguer, b/c in a few years, a team with more money will sign him to a long-term deal, and he'll actually get a chance to play for championship. Right now, he's playing for a Major League Baseball farm club.
Friedman is on a run to build a dynasty around ohtani. He's got a five to seven year window to do it. but also, surely he'll have to offload some guys or shifting some guys to the bullpen like gonsolin or may if they get sasaki. as for soto, i don't think most people care about soto outside of new york. somebody is going to overpay but it won't be the dodgers.
Love the show but I have to respectfully disagree with Trev that there are 7-8 other teams that can operate like the Dodgers have in free agency. Guggenhein Partners have 335 billion dollars worth of assets under management. The Dodgers are really just a small fraction of their total business. They are easily able to withstand the CBT requirements especially when it comes to defered contracts. There are lots of filthy rich owners in MLB but none of them can compete with a multinational strategic investment firm. Cohen has the money but its all coming out of his pockets rather than a business as a whole. Anyways, love the show boys!
This is an odd comment that frames things in a misleading manner. The $355 billion dollars of assets isn't at the beck and call of the Dodgers and I doubt the other investors would prop up the Dodgers indefinitely. The actual man himself that bought the Dodgers and operates them is worth significantly less than that and billionaires stay billionaires by being financially prudent. The reason the Dodgers can spend like they are right now is Shohei and success breeding success. It has less to do with the owner having unlimited funds (he doesn't)
With all the revenue sharing now and how many billionaire owners there are, yeah I think there are at least that many teams that can compete and throw money around. Even the Padres have spent…the Phillies have spent…Rangers went on a binge and then won…and we all know the Mets and Yankees spend. Many owners just want to pocket the profits.
I smell a owner v owner 94 kinda strike. Haves vs have nots vs financially cannots. If you dont have a LA 25 year 8 billion dollar solo tv deal, you can't get as risky.
Now the Dodgers will face the same criticism the Yankees have for decades. Since the 70's, all they've heard was that they bought their World Series. Now everyone except Dodgers fans will hate the Dodgers!
You realize that the rest of the country already despises LA for the shithole it is, but now you have to destroy the national past time? Tool made an anthem about SoCal. It’s called AEnima.
They CREATE the money!! They built a brilliant brand. They capitalize on a wealthy Japanese market. They market as well as anyone. And they SPEND instead of pocketing $$$ MANY teams could go for it. MANY teams could spend. Few do
Every team could spend the money that the Dodgers do. Poor teams are getting tons of free money from the rich teams every time they do these big deals. The Dodgers have poured money into the luxury tax. The poor teams just don't want to spend that money because they are willing to sacrifice wins for profits. Dodgers are one of the teams that have learned that winning brings money. Salary minimum - not a salary cap. Force the owners to spend money on their teams or sell to someone who can afford to play.
Stop saying "we got a superteam now', they have been a superteam for over a decade. Horrible for baseball, good for dodgers. Just causing less and less interest for 29 other fanbases in a sport that already in decline.
Love Trev, he's got a lot of insight on hos the game is played that you can't really get from anyone that hasn't played at a major league level. But sometimes his opinions just aren't it.
Translation: Trev doesn't agree with my opinion, so I am going to make a dumb comment acting like I know what is objectively correct (despite it being a subjective question)

Edit: I’m with Trevor on the food takes. Good call on the smoked turkey too. So juicy and flavorful. That’s the best way to have it. And I’m always on mashed potato duty because mine are the best per my family. A little lumpy. Hand mashed. Come at me, Rosey.
0 to do with Roki. That's international bonus pool money that'd be allocated anyways. 0 to do with their Snell signing whatsoever.
HOT OFF THE PRESS
This is only bad for the rest of the league, good for us! We want to go back to back to back🎉
The financial situation is out of whack in baseball because you got owners who only keep payrolls of $40-50 million dollars. How do you expect your team to compete when the owners self impose a shoe string budget because they’re cheap? Salary cap won’t stop the vast majority owners being cheap, want owners to spend, install a salary floor.
The Dodgers have been really good for 11 years and only won the world series twice nothing is a given
I disagree w/ your sentiment that players and managers deserve support, even if the team doesn't. A) They're inextricably linked, and B) These players will leave for greener pastures and more money the first chance they get. How often do you see a player offer a team a hometown discount? It doesn't happen very often. Essentially, Paul Skenes is still a minor leaguer, b/c in a few years, a team with more money will sign him to a long-term deal, and he'll actually get a chance to play for championship. Right now, he's playing for a Major League Baseball farm club.
Why should great players give their cheapskate owners a discount when serious organizations will pay them what they're worth in free agency?
What? Bad for baseball? Dodgers, Dodgers nation and Japan are saving baseball. Stop it.
Hot take… all the typical Thanksgiving food is overrated! I’d rather have steak, brisket, or ribs for protein.
Friedman is on a run to build a dynasty around ohtani. He's got a five to seven year window to do it. but also, surely he'll have to offload some guys or shifting some guys to the bullpen like gonsolin or may if they get sasaki. as for soto, i don't think most people care about soto outside of new york. somebody is going to overpay but it won't be the dodgers.
This is great for baseball...Dodgers baseball!
Yes
Love the show but I have to respectfully disagree with Trev that there are 7-8 other teams that can operate like the Dodgers have in free agency.
Guggenhein Partners have 335 billion dollars worth of assets under management. The Dodgers are really just a small fraction of their total business. They are easily able to withstand the CBT requirements especially when it comes to defered contracts.
There are lots of filthy rich owners in MLB but none of them can compete with a multinational strategic investment firm. Cohen has the money but its all coming out of his pockets rather than a business as a whole.
Anyways, love the show boys!
This is an odd comment that frames things in a misleading manner. The $355 billion dollars of assets isn't at the beck and call of the Dodgers and I doubt the other investors would prop up the Dodgers indefinitely. The actual man himself that bought the Dodgers and operates them is worth significantly less than that and billionaires stay billionaires by being financially prudent. The reason the Dodgers can spend like they are right now is Shohei and success breeding success. It has less to do with the owner having unlimited funds (he doesn't)
Billionaires love when there isn’t an equal playing ground though
With all the revenue sharing now and how many billionaire owners there are, yeah I think there are at least that many teams that can compete and throw money around. Even the Padres have spent…the Phillies have spent…Rangers went on a binge and then won…and we all know the Mets and Yankees spend. Many owners just want to pocket the profits.
I smell a owner v owner 94 kinda strike. Haves vs have nots vs financially cannots. If you dont have a LA 25 year 8 billion dollar solo tv deal, you can't get as risky.
Now the Dodgers will face the same criticism the Yankees have for decades. Since the 70's, all they've heard was that they bought their World Series. Now everyone except Dodgers fans will hate the Dodgers!
Dynasty folks. Sit back and enjoy! 🏆
ENjoy what? The 1992 dream team playing against regular NBA teams? How much respect is that worth?
@@GJLCreativeStudioshate us cuz you ain’t usssssss😝
@@GJLCreativeStudiosbro became a fan this year 😭
You realize that the rest of the country already despises LA for the shithole it is, but now you have to destroy the national past time?
Tool made an anthem about SoCal.
It’s called AEnima.
Nah just never watching baseball again. Enjoy your rigged ass league
it’s a better story if soto leaves the yankees but ONLY if he goes to the red rox
I don’t hate it, get the best guys or someone eles will.
Steelers fans in any city are louder!
i mean if they can land adames he will be 100+ million and Teo will be at least 3yrs 75 or 4 years 100
Where's Cohen...? They better get Soto...
Sign Buehler!
They CREATE the money!! They built a brilliant brand. They capitalize on a wealthy Japanese market. They market as well as anyone. And they SPEND instead of pocketing $$$
MANY teams could go for it. MANY teams could spend. Few do
Every team could spend the money that the Dodgers do. Poor teams are getting tons of free money from the rich teams every time they do these big deals. The Dodgers have poured money into the luxury tax. The poor teams just don't want to spend that money because they are willing to sacrifice wins for profits. Dodgers are one of the teams that have learned that winning brings money. Salary minimum - not a salary cap. Force the owners to spend money on their teams or sell to someone who can afford to play.
Go Dodgers 💙
Juan Soto is not worth 600mill . He’s not worth anything close to 600m
He’s worth 400mill
Aren't the Dodgers going 6 man rotation?
For all those upset, how does this "ruin" baseball? I think people just hate the Dodgers and are constantl looking for a reason to knock them down.
Cano to Mariners
Beautiful Thanksgiving segment. Especially Chris' final message.... Feelin the love.
Thanks, guys.
Stuffing is elite! Dressing is weak.
All other 29 billionaire owners can do what the Dodgers are doing too.
Stop saying "we got a superteam now', they have been a superteam for over a decade. Horrible for baseball, good for dodgers. Just causing less and less interest for 29 other fanbases in a sport that already in decline.
Love Trev, he's got a lot of insight on hos the game is played that you can't really get from anyone that hasn't played at a major league level. But sometimes his opinions just aren't it.
Translation: Trev doesn't agree with my opinion, so I am going to make a dumb comment acting like I know what is objectively correct (despite it being a subjective question)
Typo eh but Trev does have some good advice re the ladies I’m sure
Salary cap is coming. 😂
