No, your owner is the only one that does, maybe the Yankees and Mets as well but that’s about it! Enjoy it, you get to watch one of the greatest assemblies of talent EVER put on a baseball field.
@@johndurrer7869I don’t think that would change anything for these other owners. The A’s having been saying they didn’t have the money yet as soon as they’re leaving Oakland they give Luis Severino 70 million.
@@theophilussparks5839 Yeh really. The cheap owners pocket all that money and don't reinvest it in their teams. They could actually try to compete like the Padres and Diamondbacks have been, but they choose not to. Don't let these owners lie to you and tell you that they can't afford it. Baloney!! They can easily afford it; they don't want to spend on their teams which are a public trust. MLB needs some new owners that will spend and try to compete every year.
One thing you should’ve added is you have to look at the Dodgers ownership group. Guggenheim is an investment firm with assets worth over 300 billion. However they understand all too well that you have to spend money to make money. They don’t see 700 million for Shohei Ohtani and 325 million for Yoshinobu Yamamoto as just the price for 2 big names. They see it as an investment opportunity that will garner them hundreds of millions in off the field revenue that can be garnered from the Japanese baseball market by signing their two biggest stars. It also allows the Dodgers to become a household name in Japan and helps tell their athletes like Roki Sasaki “this is the team to play for.”
Bc they’re a highly ran organization who understand baseball and business, almost no other franchise can say that, and it’s simply not the dodgers fault that they are miles better than everyone else
@@peskytalk It is almost criminal to use the word 'fault'. It is nobodies fault. It is how the baseball teams management should work within the rules and regulation.
Finally, somebody pointing the finger where it belongs at the owners. I can’t have sympathy for teams like the Cubs, the nationals, the Pirates, etc. who are owned by billionaires who want to pocket 72 $150 million a year without putting any of it back into the team. I think there needs to be a salary floor And baseball needs to encourage these owners to either sell or there will be a salary floor so they can’t pocket all the money.
Been saying this forever. Then again why pay for talent, the Cubs Fans don't care. They will still show up to the games. Ricketts taking it to the bank. Also all the North Siders property owners charging money for parking.
Yes, baseball is a business. Yes, you need to be profitable as a business. But what I think most owners are failing/refusing to realize is that the easiest way to make money in baseball (or any sports franchise for that matter) is by winning. Winning gets you fans. Fans get you revenues from ticket sales, merchandise sales, concessions, sponsorships, TV deals, etc. But you can't win without talents and you can't acquire talents without paying for them. Spend money to make money. It's a pretty basic business motto. I thought these owners were some brilliant businessmen?
Most of them have fathers that were brilliant businessmen and really have no idea what they are doing now that they got gifted all this old money. But yes, spending money makes more money than staying safe, spend, win, profit.
@@peskytalkthis lowkey applies to so much of the business world even outside of sports lmao just oversaturated with incompetent nepo babies who don’t actually know what they’re doing but feel entitled to their money and wealth. A lot like the show Succession
Insane to me that people really don't get mad at the Marlins for literally destroying their winning teams and/or trading all their good players instead of paying them. I mean they had Miguel Cabrera, Stanton, Yelich, JT Realmuto, Ozuna, etc just to name a few...but they're not ruining baseball? Dodgers are trying to win, with grown talent and trades and signing FAs and everyone loses their mind.
Deferred money is not tax evasion. It is an agreement by the player & team/owner for compensation on mutually agreeable terms, under the scope of allowable methods agreed upon collectively by the players and owners. That's why you can do it. This video asserts a moral imperative for the owners to put the best team on the field, and for the players to be fairly compensated, as well as the claim that many of the owners are misleading the public about their ability to do either of those things. It makes no sense to object to perfectly legal & permissible contacts, that fit within the scope agreed upon by players and owners alike, when those contracts allow the owners to field a superior team, the players to receive additional compensation without having to manage their money or risk it on investments, while still receiving income for a term of years beyond their playing contract. You cannot argue that owners should spend money to field the best possible team, that players deserve money above the other parties in baseball, and ALSO criticize deferred deals that allow owners to spend more money on their team, with the agreement of the players, because those deals take money away from the program that redistributes funds from the teams who spend the most on their players, to the teams YOU accuse of malingering and spending less than they can!
Even as a dodger fan I must admit the Dodgers have found an amazing loophole that only they can exploit. Most fans think that money that is deferred is paid later. It isn’t by the team, only to the player. The team still puts a certain amount of money away annually to cover the deferment into an investment fund. But the Dodgers own one of the worlds biggest investment firms. Which means they are getting 12% interest on their deferments what other teams are only getting 4%. Which basically means almost every dollar the Dodgers defer is basically free money for them. If you take $10 and collect 12% interest on it for 10 years you are going to make more than $10 off of that $10. That’s what the Dodgers have for 12% interest rates while the other teams only have 4% interest rates for. Four years the Dodgers did not exploit this loophole out of good faith to the league. But win the league didn’t punish the Astros and everyone called the 2020 title a Mickey Mouse title the Dodgers decided to play dirty
MLB does not have pension/retirement plans, that's the role deferred money plays. Many deferred money payouts give a player an income to live on past their days on the field until x years old. T. Scott's contract is a good example. 1 million a year from age 35 to 55. Teoscar's contract does the same, he'll be able to continue bringing important money back to the Dominican Republic throughout his life after his playing days are over. Lifetime security for a player and his family and the communities they hope to develop. These players want to win and want to play for an organization that wants to win. The Dodgers still pay significant luxury tax money which the other owners are happy to receive.
@@JohnPerling From the players standpoint absolutely. From the dodger standpoint it’s all about the 12% interest rate they have access to. Other teams would do the exact same thing if they had access to 12% rather than 4%. Dodgers will only have to pay $300 million to cover their 1.3 billion in deferments. Other teams would have to pay 900 million. That is absolutely a loophole
@@johndurrer7869 It's not dirty. Do you think the other 29 billionaires have no access to these sorts of investments? Steve Cohen is a freaking hedge fund manager, and the only restriction placed on him as the result of his being found guilty is that he is not allowed to manage OTHER people's money. He can do the exact same thing the Guggenheim group does, and there are plenty of other hedge fund managers out there who would happily invest that money for the 28 other baseball owners if they did the deferments, IF that is actually how they work (I more or less assumed the team had to put up the money up front, to prevent the players from being cheated by sudden insolvency or bankruptcy, or those debts from weighing against the resale value of the team.
The Dodgers are absolutely making the rest of the league to up their game. But we all know you can’t buy wins; the players first need to believe in themselves. That’s one thing the Dodgers did from the first game of the season.
The best thing to ever happen to the Dodgers is when Frank McCourt was forced to sell the team to Guggenheim. Us Dodger fans know how the 28 other teams (not counting the Mets) feel today.
Never thought a video about the Dodgers making a super team would have me contemplating the wealth and class disparity and billionaires exploiting middle class people, but thank you for highlighting that forreal
Wow, great video man. As a dodgers fan this was a very even handed video. I just wanted to add that Tanner Scott’s agent said he preferred the Cubs over the dodgers. But the Cubs didn’t want to give Scott 4 years. Which just adds to the hypocrisy of the owners.
Exactly, how can you fault the dodgers when they’re literally asking the cubs to just match the price?? Of course he’s going to go to the team that offers him more financial security
Live in Minnesota my whole life. Growing up was a big Twins fan. Stop investing in the team once i realize the Owner was cheap. Ohtani brought my interest back. Even bougt a his Angels jersey. Now im a big fan of the Dodgers who's willing to invest $$$ & my emotions😂😂😂
Anybody, including the Angels, could have signed Ohtani and had the same deferred contract. There was also no bidding war for Sasaki, as he had a fixed price. The Dodgers have only won 2 WS in the last 5 years. Not exactly a dynasty. Let's see how they do in the next few years. As a Dodger fan growing up in SoCal and even my little league team was the Dodgers, I hope they win the next 8! Go Blue!!!
MLB wanted free competition around the world, and it came true. Then, Dodgers acquired the Asian baseball market as the result of free competition. What’s the problem?
Funny thing is, the Giants could sign 1B Pete Alonso, 2B Ha-Seong Kim, and SP Jack Flaherty, and still be nowhere close to the Dodgers. But SF would probably increase from 80 wins to 87 wins with those moves, and nab the third wild card. A baseball team is an entertainment product: you gotta spend money to make money!!
Last I checked and read, National and Local TV revenue(48percent) is shared with MLB/MLB teams as per revenue sharing agreement. So Dodgers something 8 billion dollar TV deal goes to other teams? Also, I heard that the luxury tax is shared with MLB teams, so how much was that last year? 100 million by the Dodgers? Wonder what these fans are ranting about as they have no knowledge of the late 90s and early 2000s of NYY.
So, how many owners will complain about the Dodgers' spending? Of those owners, how many will receive money from the luxury tax because they didn't spend to make their teams better ? The other day they put out a list of MLB's owners and their worth. The A's owner is doing pretty damn well !
Maybe if you had owners who gave a dam about putting a competitive team on the field for their fans like the Dodgers do, you wouldn't be complaining.Go Dodgers 🙂😎💙✌
The Dodgers are just putting a spotlight on how little the other owners invest in a winning product. The teams aren't even close to the only way these owners increase income every year. Shame them. Sell the teams. Demand better.
Salary floor is a great idea. Just reduce revenue sharing for teams under the floor as a penalty. BUT I'm pretty sure during negotiations, the cheapo owners are not voting for something that will take money away from their pockets. Us as fans just have to force that by simply not watching the games of teams that's not worth watching.
That's too complicated, MLB teams made a combined 11 million last year. The MLB should take 9 million and devide that by 30 teams, giving each team 300 thousand Owners are happy because they don't have to spend out of pocket, plus the revenue will sky rocket with half the league being competitive. If the MLB cap would increase to 300 K that would increase the average teams payroll over 2.5 times! The players get paid more The fans are happy because balancing the teams would lead to Tighter divisional and playoff races, not to mention better baseball in general
Marlins are the real villains majority of Latin players live there in the offseason you’re telling me MLBs best Latin players won’t take discounted contracts to play there ? Cmon man let’s be real
Lookie, If the issues is the deferred money, then presumably 29 other teams in MLB could have put together some kinda counter offer that would equal or surpass the amount the Dodgers were offering their FA prospects. Is it really just the dodgers are a better organization..?. Or do people really wanna whine because their teams weren't bold enough to put their best foot forward to compete, and put a good product on the field ..?? WTH !!!. Enough already,, Scott has been sitting in free agency for weeks, Sosaki "choose", Ohtani "choose", It's free agency
Deferred money is: 1) An option for every team 2) Not a guarantee to avoid the luxury tax. Any money not paid in the present that makes it easier to stay under the tax today must be paid in the future and will make it more difficult to stay under the tax tomorrow. Deferred money is also a deferred, not eliminated, tax.
But what isn’t an option for other teams is the 12% interest rate the Dodgers get on deferments because they own one of the worlds biggest investment firms with over 300 billion in funds. Other teams get a 4% interest rate. The Dodgers will only end up paying around $300 million to cover the 1.3 billion they have deferred. That’s how valuable a 12% interest rate is. If they had a 4% interest rate they would have to spend around 900 million to cover the 1.3 billion. There is a reason why they demand players take deferments. Dodgers did not exploit this loophole for over a decade. But after what the Astros did and the league allowing them to keep the title even though it was blatantly illegal the Dodgers saw no reason to not exploit a legal loophole simply out of morals. It’s up to the league to close that loophole and I’m sure they will in 2027
Dodgers want to be/will become the Real Madrid of baseball. Dodgers will be come a strong global brand. Dodgers already have a strong market in the Latinos demographic. They are branching branching out to the Asia Market, Japan and Korea.
People have to understand just because a free agent was offered and agreed to a certain contract … that doesn’t mean that other teams weren’t offering that free agent, the same exact contract. believe it or not sometimes or most of the time the offers are relatively close and other things other than money, make the difference 99% of sport fans are unable to wrap their heads around this possibility
people are blaming the dodgers for wisening up and realizing that they can outspend other owners. they know that almost every other owner is too cheap and scared to go after expensive free agent talent so the dodgers throw however much money they can at people they want (with deferrals). it truly is spending money to make money.
Been a Dodger fan my whole life, we're in a Golden Age right now. Especially after the team went bankrupt in 2011, people seem to forget about that. Thr Dodgers weren't always like this, they went 20 years without a playoff series win after winning the 1988 World Series
This is an economy wide problem. Players are employees that bring in the product that people want to see, but they do not get paid in proportion to the value they provide. Many companies also have this problem.
Scrooge index is misleading because many costs of running a baseball team are fixed. Thus, larger teams spend a smaller portion of their overall revenue on these fixed costs and can spend a larger percentage on payroll as a result
Exactly, that’s part of the point I was trying to make with the cubs (who are a massive market) saying that they can’t be higher than 20th on the list….. yes you can.
The Dodgers show that it is more than just money! I am impressed by the number of these players that have gushed about how they are TREATED by the organization! Shoei structured his contract to allow the Dodgers to pay other players more money! There are players who REFUSED free agency to stay with the Dodgers - they engender more loyalty from their players than just about any other team. Freddie went to L A not just because of the $ they offered, but because of how HIS team treated him when he tried to get paid what he was worth! The Dodgers have ALWAYS been this way! There is a real strong organizational ethos that persists to this day! Go Dodger Blue!
People love to say that they need to ban deferrals. Yet all teams can do the same thing the dodgers did. But one of the biggest reasons why players are going to the dodgers is because of the organization. It's ran incredibly well and players want to play for them. There are other teams like the Angels that offered Yamamoto 5 million more but he wants to play for the Dodgers. Look at the speeches the players had at Dodgers Stadium after they won it all. They where emotional and mentioned how they loved to play for the Dodgers. To a lot of them the dodgers is not just a team its a family, and you don't get that feeling in a lot of other MLB teams.
A salary floor does not solve the issue. All that will happen is teams like the cubs or A’s throw expensive/overpay contracts to players that don’t necessarily qualify. They’d rather overpay a Luis Severino rather than go after big names. And at the end of the day it’s a players choice, salary floor or not players will choose the dodgers or Mets or Yankees regardless of salary
There needs to be a salary floor of 80 to 100 million and a cap on the percentage you can defer a contract say you can’t defer more than 1/3 of a contract
One thing that doesn't get mentioned is that a successful franchise like the Dodgers goes up in value with success. If they keep winning, they (the Dodgers) will be worth more than the Yankees, therefore advancing their revenue.
I love that you said if other teams focused a player like Tanner Scott the Dodgers cant get him. They don't have to spend what the Dodgers are just 1 player at a time. Dodgers are going for the jugular and i f'n love it!
I think also what the problem is, is the fans. They need to go and support their local teams. Buy tickets, buy jerseys, merchandise. Just look at the Dodgers 2024 championship parade, they say about 2 million fans came out to show their team love. Go look at it, it was like the streets of Downtown Los Angeles was flooded by blue
With all of this, having been a Dodger fan since the early 2000s and watching them suck plus the McCourt nonsense and the multiple lost word series and how everyone saw the 2020 World Series as “not legitimate”, it definitely felt like the 2024 was earned
Salary floor won't fix the problem you're saying. The NBA is a perfect example of that. They have a salary floor yet it's the league with the most dynasties as well as same teams that perpetually tank and languish at the bottom of the standings year-in year-out. You think that if MLB had a salary floor, then teams would've been forced to pay Tanner Scott and keep him away from the Dodgers. Wrong! Once again, the NBA is the perfect example. Salary floor don't force teams to get high-priced free agents. Instead, it makes teams overpay mediocre players. The NBA has dozens of mediocre players getting paid $20M-$30M a year. These salaries help teams to meet the salary floor, that's all. They don't have to spend more money for star free agents to build a contending team as long as they meet the salary floor.
I actually buy the argument that owners break even. I am pretty sure the Dodgers have non-player salary expenses that are around 1/3 revenue. The reason they own teams isn't to bring in revenue. It's designed to increase equity in the team.
Your opinion is totally wrong on deferred payments, though. The salary is an "overpay" when deferred because of inflation. The AAV (as calculated by present value) is already locked up in escrow. The difference is that the money earned on that invested escrow account can be kept by the MLB team if it exceeds the figure required once payment to the player comes due. It literally just gives them opportunities to invest the money. If Ohtani had a non deferred contract it would have been much closer to a $500m deal, which is what most people expected. $700m had sticker shock because people don't understand deferrals.
I don't think there should be a luxury tax. It serves as welfare to other organizations. I think it should be after your first year over the threshold you don't get homefield advantage in the divisional round despite having a better record. The next year you don't get home field advantage both divisional and NLCS/ALCS. The next year your whole post season you don't get home field advantage including world series. That way it isn't giving money to owners that just pocket it. It's taking away home field advantage from the team staying over the threshold. Which also theoretically gives the lower market team an extra game at home to make more money.
the MLB has a no owners other than the Dodgers, Yankees & Mets spending issue, out of those 3 teams the only teams ive seen do something were the Angels and As
Dodgers are fixing baseball.. they built a culture that players *WILLINGLY* chose to play for. They WILLINGLY take deferred money because they, like most FA, want to be apart of the best organization in baseball. This forces other teams to build a culture in the clubhouse, sign top end FA, and learn how to develop players like LA.
How about the 7 teams without a TV deal so they have no revenue coming in to reinvest in the team(ex: Cleveland)? Meanwhile NY and LA have tv deals north of $200 million a year.
As a ball player wouldn't you want to go to a team that is consistently in the playoffs and competing for a WS.... as the dodgers have done for 10 years.... why go to a losing team...
I’m a Marlins fan and I know our ownership group is losing $50 million a year so based on your calculation if you take $60 million in revenue and -$15 million for that you have $10 million. That’s $10 million to spend on payrollcoaches, staff equipment, Baseball operations and other.
@@peskytalkfrom numbers that were given by the Sherman group in tax year 2023 and numbers at point of sale to Sherman group. Those number said that based on lower attendance and based on other factors, the Marlins were losing and still are losing $50 million a year. They are also a part of the bally sports debacle, which is costing the money at the moment too.
@@TonySahatjianPeople are failing to realizing how significant a TV deal is. The Dodgers generate about $340 million alone annually from their TV deal, while some teams don't even have one. This is causing teams to lose money and cut back on spending
Scott has said he preferred the cubs but they weren’t willing to match the 4 yr deal the dodgers had on the table for weeks. They only did so last minute. That probably put Scott off and also rather go to an org so well run like the dodgers.
Look there’s only a handful of players annually when it comes to free agency that’s worth spending a lot of money on. Of those handful of players they usually prefer to go to a competing team Meaning that if you’re bottom feeder teams, that don’t end up spending money in the off-season. it’s probably a smart thing because they’re not competing For playoffs or World Series. Therefore, those players are less likely to look to sign to those teams. It’s not rocket science.
Dodgers are making other teams money. Marlins made 70mil from lux tax rev last year and what have they done? Why aren't the Marlins taking on lousy contracts for prospects? It's a great way to rebuild. Dodgers increase attendance at away games making them money. AND there is no guarantee the Dodgers on paper are going to win next year. It's really hard to win the WS.
i know! i wasn't trying to make it come off that way, that's why I said there are lots of other expenses coming in as well that aren't just player expenses, it's just hard to know the exact amount, but when the cubs are making twice as much as a low market team in revenue, they definitely have more access money to spend on free agents that was the point I was trying to make
I don't necessarily think MLB needs a salary floor any more than they need a cap. You have to have a suave GM who can sell his product better than anyone else. Money doesn't make you successful. Billy Beane, anyone?
Funny how you guys have no clue how deferrals work it doesn't help the team it only helps the players avoid state taxes for instance Otahni contract is not costing the dodgers 700 Million they will pay him a total of 460 million 46 million a year will be paid by the dodger to an interest earning account and 46 million a year will be the cap hit. the reason it helps the player is he will start receiving 70 mil a year starting 10 years from now for 10 years 700 million if he moves out of the state of CA. and gos to a state like FL. before he receives the money he will not owe any state taxes so the Dodgers are not benefiting with deferrals and any team can do the same.
Waaa waaa I don’t like the dodgers signing everyone cause they wanna win especially after calling them chokers and talking so much shit about them in the postseason HOW DARE THEY BUT GOOD PLAYER BECAUSE THEY WANNA WIN!!!- MLB “fans”
Raise salary caps, bring in salary floors, and for the love of God get rid of deffered money. Also, why the hell are overseas players forced to sign minor league contracts for coming over before age 25? Dodgers are exploiting the loopholes in a way that will hopefully cause the MLB to make changes.
Ohtani entered the league on a minor league contract. Point is NPB and MLB has an agreement in which to prevent mass exodus of players from the NPB in which players below 25 cant be offered major league contracts only minor league ones. This was placed in hopes that it will limit those going overseas and have the NPB still a competitive field of players.
The Yankees got some guys to do did the Mets this is great for baseball because it’s bringing back the 2017 and 2018 seasons when we had multiple teams that really have World Series rosters if the other teams that are young and have potential actually use their money and would get some players the mlb will be relevant with the nfl and other sports since there is better teams and more competitive and also bring back joe buck for prime time games
so you win championship now you should stop ? isnt that club suppose to be do their best to prepare to win the game ???? there is only 1 club that trying their hardest to win thats the problem !!!!

Deferred money is not tax evasion. It is an agreement by the player & team/owner for compensation on mutually agreeable terms, under the scope of allowable methods agreed upon collectively by the players and owners. That's why you can do it.
This video asserts a moral imperative for the owners to put the best team on the field, and for the players to be fairly compensated, as well as the claim that many of the owners are misleading the public about their ability to do either of those things. It makes no sense to object to perfectly legal & permissible contacts, that fit within the scope agreed upon by players and owners alike, when those contracts allow the owners to field a superior team, the players to receive additional compensation without having to manage their money or risk it on investments, while still receiving income for a term of years beyond their playing contract.
You cannot argue that owners should spend money to field the best possible team, that players deserve money above the other parties in baseball, and ALSO criticize deferred deals that allow owners to spend more money on their team, with the agreement of the players, because those deals take money away from the program that redistributes funds from the teams who spend the most on their players, to the teams YOU accuse of malingering and spending less than they can!
He should edit the video. How is gonna make a video about something he knows nothing about 🤦♂️
Even as a dodger fan I must admit the Dodgers have found an amazing loophole that only they can exploit. Most fans think that money that is deferred is paid later. It isn’t by the team, only to the player. The team still puts a certain amount of money away annually to cover the deferment into an investment fund. But the Dodgers own one of the worlds biggest investment firms. Which means they are getting 12% interest on their deferments what other teams are only getting 4%. Which basically means almost every dollar the Dodgers defer is basically free money for them. If you take $10 and collect 12% interest on it for 10 years you are going to make more than $10 off of that $10. That’s what the Dodgers have for 12% interest rates while the other teams only have 4% interest rates for. Four years the Dodgers did not exploit this loophole out of good faith to the league. But win the league didn’t punish the Astros and everyone called the 2020 title a Mickey Mouse title the Dodgers decided to play dirty
MLB does not have pension/retirement plans, that's the role deferred money plays. Many deferred money payouts give a player an income to live on past their days on the field until x years old.
T. Scott's contract is a good example. 1 million a year from age 35 to 55. Teoscar's contract does the same, he'll be able to continue bringing important money back to the Dominican Republic throughout his life after his playing days are over. Lifetime security for a player and his family and the communities they hope to develop. These players want to win and want to play for an organization that wants to win. The Dodgers still pay significant luxury tax money which the other owners are happy to receive.
@@JohnPerling From the players standpoint absolutely. From the dodger standpoint it’s all about the 12% interest rate they have access to. Other teams would do the exact same thing if they had access to 12% rather than 4%. Dodgers will only have to pay $300 million to cover their 1.3 billion in deferments. Other teams would have to pay 900 million. That is absolutely a loophole
@@johndurrer7869 It's not dirty. Do you think the other 29 billionaires have no access to these sorts of investments? Steve Cohen is a freaking hedge fund manager, and the only restriction placed on him as the result of his being found guilty is that he is not allowed to manage OTHER people's money. He can do the exact same thing the Guggenheim group does, and there are plenty of other hedge fund managers out there who would happily invest that money for the 28 other baseball owners if they did the deferments, IF that is actually how they work (I more or less assumed the team had to put up the money up front, to prevent the players from being cheated by sudden insolvency or bankruptcy, or those debts from weighing against the resale value of the team.
The Dodgers are absolutely making the rest of the league to up their game. But we all know you can’t buy wins; the players first need to believe in themselves. That’s one thing the Dodgers did from the first game of the season.
The best thing to ever happen to the Dodgers is when Frank McCourt was forced to sell the team to Guggenheim. Us Dodger fans know how the 28 other teams (not counting the Mets) feel today.
It's not a Dodger problem, it's a cheap owner problem. The Dodgers are only highlighting that fact.
Never thought a video about the Dodgers making a super team would have me contemplating the wealth and class disparity and billionaires exploiting middle class people, but thank you for highlighting that forreal
Wow, great video man. As a dodgers fan this was a very even handed video. I just wanted to add that Tanner Scott’s agent said he preferred the Cubs over the dodgers. But the Cubs didn’t want to give Scott 4 years. Which just adds to the hypocrisy of the owners.
Exactly, how can you fault the dodgers when they’re literally asking the cubs to just match the price?? Of course he’s going to go to the team that offers him more financial security
You can add teoscar hernandez, the guy had better offers, but he took a pay cut to stay with the Dodgers. That says something about the organization.
29 other teams are free to use the exact contractual negotiating tool.
Live in Minnesota my whole life. Growing up was a big Twins fan. Stop investing in the team once i realize the Owner was cheap. Ohtani brought my interest back. Even bougt a his Angels jersey. Now im a big fan of the Dodgers who's willing to invest $$$ & my emotions😂😂😂
Anybody, including the Angels, could have signed Ohtani and had the same deferred contract. There was also no bidding war for Sasaki, as he had a fixed price. The Dodgers have only won 2 WS in the last 5 years. Not exactly a dynasty. Let's see how they do in the next few years. As a Dodger fan growing up in SoCal and even my little league team was the Dodgers, I hope they win the next 8! Go Blue!!!
MLB wanted free competition around the world, and it came true. Then, Dodgers acquired the Asian baseball market as the result of free competition. What’s the problem?
Annnnnd they just added Yates! Wowza!!!
It’s unbelievable what they have on that roster
Wait til they find out the Dodgers just signed Kirby Yates 💀
My goodness my thumbnail is the most accurate of all time
People want change just because the Dodgers are smarter... take a business class people and you can learn how to make good investments
Lol the dodgers saw the viewer's numbers in that final, Japan vs USA. They knew their new target audience.
Funny thing is, the Giants could sign 1B Pete Alonso, 2B Ha-Seong Kim, and SP Jack Flaherty, and still be nowhere close to the Dodgers. But SF would probably increase from 80 wins to 87 wins with those moves, and nab the third wild card. A baseball team is an entertainment product: you gotta spend money to make money!!
Last I checked and read, National and Local TV revenue(48percent) is shared with MLB/MLB teams as per revenue sharing agreement. So Dodgers something 8 billion dollar TV deal goes to other teams? Also, I heard that the luxury tax is shared with MLB teams, so how much was that last year? 100 million by the Dodgers? Wonder what these fans are ranting about as they have no knowledge of the late 90s and early 2000s of NYY.
So, how many owners will complain about the Dodgers' spending? Of those owners, how many will receive money from the luxury tax because they didn't spend to make their teams better ? The other day they put out a list of MLB's owners and their worth. The A's owner is doing pretty damn well !
Owners are cheap and honestly don't care about there fan base and obviously dont wanna win dodgers are on it for the long run lets go dodgers
Maybe if you had owners who gave a dam about putting a competitive team on the field for their fans like the Dodgers do, you wouldn't be complaining.Go Dodgers 🙂😎💙✌
The Dodgers are just putting a spotlight on how little the other owners invest in a winning product. The teams aren't even close to the only way these owners increase income every year. Shame them. Sell the teams. Demand better.
Salary floor is a great idea. Just reduce revenue sharing for teams under the floor as a penalty. BUT I'm pretty sure during negotiations, the cheapo owners are not voting for something that will take money away from their pockets. Us as fans just have to force that by simply not watching the games of teams that's not worth watching.
Good idea to reduce the share, if the floor is not met.
That's too complicated, MLB teams made a combined 11 million last year.
The MLB should take 9 million and devide that by 30 teams, giving each team 300 thousand
Owners are happy because they don't have to spend out of pocket, plus the revenue will sky rocket with half the league being competitive.
If the MLB cap would increase to 300 K that would increase the average teams payroll over 2.5 times! The players get paid more
The fans are happy because balancing the teams would lead to Tighter divisional and playoff races, not to mention better baseball in general
Marlins are the real villains majority of Latin players live there in the offseason you’re telling me MLBs best Latin players won’t take discounted contracts to play there ? Cmon man let’s be real
Lookie, If the issues is the deferred money, then presumably 29 other teams in MLB could have put together some kinda counter offer that would equal or surpass the amount the Dodgers were offering their FA prospects. Is it really just the dodgers are a better organization..?. Or do people really wanna whine because their teams weren't bold enough to put their best foot forward to compete, and put a good product on the field ..?? WTH !!!. Enough already,, Scott has been sitting in free agency for weeks, Sosaki "choose", Ohtani "choose", It's free agency
Just signed Kirby Yates
I am 100% against a salary cap. I am 100% for a salary floor. I am also like... 70% for something like a deferred money cap.
MLB owners gonna watch this and ask for it to be taken down 😂😂😂
Deferred money is:
1) An option for every team
2) Not a guarantee to avoid the luxury tax. Any money not paid in the present that makes it easier to stay under the tax today must be paid in the future and will make it more difficult to stay under the tax tomorrow. Deferred money is also a deferred, not eliminated, tax.
But what isn’t an option for other teams is the 12% interest rate the Dodgers get on deferments because they own one of the worlds biggest investment firms with over 300 billion in funds. Other teams get a 4% interest rate. The Dodgers will only end up paying around $300 million to cover the 1.3 billion they have deferred. That’s how valuable a 12% interest rate is. If they had a 4% interest rate they would have to spend around 900 million to cover the 1.3 billion. There is a reason why they demand players take deferments. Dodgers did not exploit this loophole for over a decade. But after what the Astros did and the league allowing them to keep the title even though it was blatantly illegal the Dodgers saw no reason to not exploit a legal loophole simply out of morals. It’s up to the league to close that loophole and I’m sure they will in 2027
Call the waaaaaaaambulance.😢
I wasn’t complaining about the dodgers in this video
Dodgers want to be/will become the Real Madrid of baseball. Dodgers will be come a strong global brand. Dodgers already have a strong market in the Latinos demographic. They are branching branching out to the Asia Market, Japan and Korea.
I also want to add, dodgers games are almost always sold out. Some away games feel like a home game.
People have to understand just because a free agent was offered and agreed to a certain contract … that doesn’t mean that other teams weren’t offering that free agent, the same exact contract.
believe it or not sometimes or most of the time the offers are relatively close and other things other than money, make the difference
99% of sport fans are unable to wrap their heads around this possibility
This is great content dude, you deserve so much more than 11k subs
Thank you!
The teams with the most fans should win the most. That's what's good for baseball.
people are blaming the dodgers for wisening up and realizing that they can outspend other owners. they know that almost every other owner is too cheap and scared to go after expensive free agent talent so the dodgers throw however much money they can at people they want (with deferrals). it truly is spending money to make money.
Been a Dodger fan my whole life, we're in a Golden Age right now. Especially after the team went bankrupt in 2011, people seem to forget about that. Thr Dodgers weren't always like this, they went 20 years without a playoff series win after winning the 1988 World Series
This is an economy wide problem. Players are employees that bring in the product that people want to see, but they do not get paid in proportion to the value they provide. Many companies also have this problem.
Scrooge index is misleading because many costs of running a baseball team are fixed. Thus, larger teams spend a smaller portion of their overall revenue on these fixed costs and can spend a larger percentage on payroll as a result
Exactly, that’s part of the point I was trying to make with the cubs (who are a massive market) saying that they can’t be higher than 20th on the list….. yes you can.
The Dodgers show that it is more than just money! I am impressed by the number of these players that have gushed about how they are TREATED by the organization! Shoei structured his contract to allow the Dodgers to pay other players more money! There are players who REFUSED free agency to stay with the Dodgers - they engender more loyalty from their players than just about any other team. Freddie went to L A not just because of the $ they offered, but because of how HIS team treated him when he tried to get paid what he was worth!
The Dodgers have ALWAYS been this way! There is a real strong organizational ethos that persists to this day! Go Dodger Blue!
People love to say that they need to ban deferrals. Yet all teams can do the same thing the dodgers did. But one of the biggest reasons why players are going to the dodgers is because of the organization. It's ran incredibly well and players want to play for them. There are other teams like the Angels that offered Yamamoto 5 million more but he wants to play for the Dodgers. Look at the speeches the players had at Dodgers Stadium after they won it all. They where emotional and mentioned how they loved to play for the Dodgers. To a lot of them the dodgers is not just a team its a family, and you don't get that feeling in a lot of other MLB teams.
A salary floor does not solve the issue. All that will happen is teams like the cubs or A’s throw expensive/overpay contracts to players that don’t necessarily qualify. They’d rather overpay a Luis Severino rather than go after big names. And at the end of the day it’s a players choice, salary floor or not players will choose the dodgers or Mets or Yankees regardless of salary
There needs to be a salary floor of 80 to 100 million and a cap on the percentage you can defer a contract say you can’t defer more than 1/3 of a contract
every team has the exact same opportunities, and they’re all billionaire. they don’t need sympathy for not spending money
Great video with solid points. I wish even half of the owners in baseball prioritized winning like the Dodgers do.
One thing that doesn't get mentioned is that a successful franchise like the Dodgers goes up in value with success. If they keep winning, they (the Dodgers) will be worth more than the Yankees, therefore advancing their revenue.
I love that you said if other teams focused a player like Tanner Scott the Dodgers cant get him. They don't have to spend what the Dodgers are just 1 player at a time. Dodgers are going for the jugular and i f'n love it!
I think also what the problem is, is the fans. They need to go and support their local teams. Buy tickets, buy jerseys, merchandise. Just look at the Dodgers 2024 championship parade, they say about 2 million fans came out to show their team love. Go look at it, it was like the streets of Downtown Los Angeles was flooded by blue
With all of this, having been a Dodger fan since the early 2000s and watching them suck plus the McCourt nonsense and the multiple lost word series and how everyone saw the 2020 World Series as “not legitimate”, it definitely felt like the 2024 was earned
Bottom line is the owners are cheap. Dodgers owner just donated 100 million to the rebuilding of LA from damage done by fires. 🤷🏻♂️
Salary floor won't fix the problem you're saying. The NBA is a perfect example of that. They have a salary floor yet it's the league with the most dynasties as well as same teams that perpetually tank and languish at the bottom of the standings year-in year-out. You think that if MLB had a salary floor, then teams would've been forced to pay Tanner Scott and keep him away from the Dodgers. Wrong! Once again, the NBA is the perfect example. Salary floor don't force teams to get high-priced free agents. Instead, it makes teams overpay mediocre players. The NBA has dozens of mediocre players getting paid $20M-$30M a year. These salaries help teams to meet the salary floor, that's all. They don't have to spend more money for star free agents to build a contending team as long as they meet the salary floor.
Dodgers focus on fame and winning, other teams focus on balance sheets.
I actually buy the argument that owners break even. I am pretty sure the Dodgers have non-player salary expenses that are around 1/3 revenue. The reason they own teams isn't to bring in revenue. It's designed to increase equity in the team.
Your opinion is totally wrong on deferred payments, though. The salary is an "overpay" when deferred because of inflation. The AAV (as calculated by present value) is already locked up in escrow. The difference is that the money earned on that invested escrow account can be kept by the MLB team if it exceeds the figure required once payment to the player comes due.
It literally just gives them opportunities to invest the money. If Ohtani had a non deferred contract it would have been much closer to a $500m deal, which is what most people expected. $700m had sticker shock because people don't understand deferrals.
Kopech in White Sox: Going to Dodgers? Whatever.
2025 January: Dodgers is OP they have 4 true closer, like Kopech.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO EXPOSES TOM “SELL THE TEAM” RICKETTS!!
If you called them LA Chokers, called it a Mickey Mouse WS, or are an Astros fan....SUCK IT! GO DOYERS!!!!
Long live the Empire
I don't think there should be a luxury tax. It serves as welfare to other organizations. I think it should be after your first year over the threshold you don't get homefield advantage in the divisional round despite having a better record. The next year you don't get home field advantage both divisional and NLCS/ALCS. The next year your whole post season you don't get home field advantage including world series. That way it isn't giving money to owners that just pocket it. It's taking away home field advantage from the team staying over the threshold. Which also theoretically gives the lower market team an extra game at home to make more money.
Don’t cry about the Dodgers when the other teams refuse to spend money. Stop crying and buy a few players.
Deferred money helps the players, the teams have to pay that at some point legally
the MLB has a no owners other than the Dodgers, Yankees & Mets spending issue, out of those 3 teams the only teams ive seen do something were the Angels and As
Dodgers are fixing baseball.. they built a culture that players *WILLINGLY* chose to play for. They WILLINGLY take deferred money because they, like most FA, want to be apart of the best organization in baseball.
This forces other teams to build a culture in the clubhouse, sign top end FA, and learn how to develop players like LA.
How about the 7 teams without a TV deal so they have no revenue coming in to reinvest in the team(ex: Cleveland)? Meanwhile NY and LA have tv deals north of $200 million a year.
As a dodgers fan, I am very happy and see your point too. Other teams need to care too, you know. But the Marlins are just doing a marlins rn lol
As a ball player wouldn't you want to go to a team that is consistently in the playoffs and competing for a WS.... as the dodgers have done for 10 years.... why go to a losing team...
I’m a Marlins fan and I know our ownership group is losing $50 million a year so based on your calculation if you take $60 million in revenue and -$15 million for that you have $10 million. That’s $10 million to spend on payrollcoaches, staff equipment, Baseball operations and other.
Where do you see that they’re losing $50 million per season.
@@peskytalkfrom numbers that were given by the Sherman group in tax year 2023 and numbers at point of sale to Sherman group. Those number said that based on lower attendance and based on other factors, the Marlins were losing and still are losing $50 million a year. They are also a part of the bally sports debacle, which is costing the money at the moment too.
@@TonySahatjianPeople are failing to realizing how significant a TV deal is. The Dodgers generate about $340 million alone annually from their TV deal, while some teams don't even have one. This is causing teams to lose money and cut back on spending
Scott has said he preferred the cubs but they weren’t willing to match the 4 yr deal the dodgers had on the table for weeks. They only did so last minute. That probably put Scott off and also rather go to an org so well run like the dodgers.
I know for sure, if the Red Sox had the Dodgers ownership, and it was reversed, Boston would be hyped for all these signings.
Absolutely we would be lol, that’s why I don’t blame your ownership group or fans of course for being excited
My biggest takeaway from this video is that there is an MLB finance term called “The Scrooge Index”
😂😂😂
Not a bad takeaway tbh
Look there’s only a handful of players annually when it comes to free agency that’s worth spending a lot of money on. Of those handful of players they usually prefer to go to a competing team
Meaning that if you’re bottom feeder teams, that don’t end up spending money in the off-season. it’s probably a smart thing because they’re not competing For playoffs or World Series. Therefore, those players are less likely to look to sign to those teams.
It’s not rocket science.
Dodgers are making other teams money. Marlins made 70mil from lux tax rev last year and what have they done? Why aren't the Marlins taking on lousy contracts for prospects? It's a great way to rebuild. Dodgers increase attendance at away games making them money. AND there is no guarantee the Dodgers on paper are going to win next year. It's really hard to win the WS.
4:25
You seem to think that "Revenue" is a synonym for profit.
Revenue is the accountant's way of saying *sales.* Profit is Revenue Minus Expenses.
i know! i wasn't trying to make it come off that way, that's why I said there are lots of other expenses coming in as well that aren't just player expenses, it's just hard to know the exact amount, but when the cubs are making twice as much as a low market team in revenue, they definitely have more access money to spend on free agents that was the point I was trying to make
I don't necessarily think MLB needs a salary floor any more than they need a cap. You have to have a suave GM who can sell his product better than anyone else. Money doesn't make you successful. Billy Beane, anyone?
HOLY FUCK THIS WILL BE THE MOST WILD MLB SEASON EVER OR THE MSKT DISAPPOINTING LOL
I like that you used Teo for the thumb 😁
135 wins, just watch
Funny how you guys have no clue how deferrals work it doesn't help the team it only helps the players avoid state taxes for instance Otahni contract is not costing the dodgers 700 Million they will pay him a total of 460 million 46 million a year will be paid by the dodger to an interest earning account and 46 million a year will be the cap hit. the reason it helps the player is he will start receiving 70 mil a year starting 10 years from now for 10 years 700 million if he moves out of the state of CA. and gos to a state like FL. before he receives the money he will not owe any state taxes so the Dodgers are not benefiting with deferrals and any team can do the same.
The other owners definitely won’t spend now. Why spend to lose to LA
Waaa waaa I don’t like the dodgers signing everyone cause they wanna win especially after calling them chokers and talking so much shit about them in the postseason HOW DARE THEY BUT GOOD PLAYER BECAUSE THEY WANNA WIN!!!- MLB “fans”
Raise salary caps, bring in salary floors, and for the love of God get rid of deffered money. Also, why the hell are overseas players forced to sign minor league contracts for coming over before age 25? Dodgers are exploiting the loopholes in a way that will hopefully cause the MLB to make changes.
Ohtani entered the league on a minor league contract. Point is NPB and MLB has an agreement in which to prevent mass exodus of players from the NPB in which players below 25 cant be offered major league contracts only minor league ones. This was placed in hopes that it will limit those going overseas and have the NPB still a competitive field of players.
They still have to pay luxury tax regardless idk what ur on about
All the owners want to play moneyball, moneyball didn’t win a title 😂
People laugh at our 2020 "mIcKeY mOuSe" ring, now they hate us for spending Mickey Mouse money. 🤣🤣🤣 #GoDodgers
The Yankees got some guys to do did the Mets this is great for baseball because it’s bringing back the 2017 and 2018 seasons when we had multiple teams that really have World Series rosters if the other teams that are young and have potential actually use their money and would get some players the mlb will be relevant with the nfl and other sports since there is better teams and more competitive and also bring back joe buck for prime time games
You can’t put together a super team? Why not?
It’s not fair!
Ok.
Hey you guys can still play for second you can call it the non-Dodger Championship
If you own something, you can freely do.what you want. You can critize anyone freely.. don't like it don't watch
Cubs are not a low market team. These owners really out here fooling y'all 😂
FOREIGN players need to join the amateur draft
so you win championship now you should stop ? isnt that club suppose to be do their best to prepare to win the game ????
there is only 1 club that trying their hardest to win thats the problem !!!!
They need a salary cap100%
players would strike the owners want that the players' union said that's a non-starter
@JDKEMP65 well something has to change its not right that the Dodgers grab everyone
Hopefully this video gets to the owners asap
Share it around to get more eyes on it if you want that!
I saw a post saying the dodgers are going to sign Christiano Ronaldo
Damn🤣good or bad…Dodgers on everyone’s channel geeezuz…milking the hell out of Dodgers content
Other owners are just cheap
NFL: Salary Cap
MLB: No salary Cap
NHL: Salary Cap
NBA Salary Cap
MLB needs a salary Cap. It keeps organizations from buying championships , it also makes the league None competitive.
Also MLB is non contact sport unlike football. Pay out should not be so high
Mlb is also the only one of these leagues without a repeat champion since the turn of the century soooooo
Salary cap doesn’t mean better parity/buying championships
@@peskytalk the salary cap was made for a reason. (What we’re experiencing now)
2017- 2022 Astros made 4 World Series appearances going 2/4 2017,2022 with a close repeat in 2021
2010-2014 SF Giants made 3 World Series appearances going 3/3 2010,12,14 close repeats but fell short in 2011,13
1997-2003 Yankees made 6 World Series appearances going 4/6 having back to back Championships 4 years in a row. 1997,98,99 & 2000
Repeats can be Won especially when championships are bought from big markets.
Cheap teams
@@SDNative-760vI think your forgetting the part where some of these players are being offered MORE money by other teams but choose to settle for less with the dodgers bc they want to win. Tanner scott and roki were offered more money but chose the dodgers regardless. You fail to realize nobody wants to play for these poverty franchises
@@LuckyNeuron-ys8sy if Roki cared about money he would have waited 2 more years and made millions, he wanted to be with his boys Yamamoto and ohtani
Tanner Scot just wants a show at a ring and this teams already bought it
bro gaeve them a reality check
Who's next!
