- The Braves have signed Jurickson Profar & I LOVE it for the Braves & don't understand why other teams didn't step up sooner? Everyone hates the Dodgers, but is it misdirected anger? YES! I'll tell you why. PLUS, Bregman could go back to the Astros & I think will and Pete Alonso to the Blue Jays gained momentum on Thursday until Blue Jays "insiders" came in and tried to squash it.
#bluejays #dodgers #braves
I'll keep saying it over & over, "The Dodgers have the best organization in baseball, PERIOD.........
Maybe, but the future gonna be expensive
Why? Cause they have the resources to buy the best players on the market. If you want to find the best organization you should look at the Rays, the A’s back in the day. I don’t think it takes much brain matter to sign Ohtani or the other superstars.
If that were true u wouldn't have to sign so many players from other teams. If u want to say "we have made incredibly smart business deals that allow us to have a payroll higher than 26 teams total revenue" than yes I agree
@hectormuro2053 The Mets have the same resources...
But the Mets are closer to the brave when it comes to being a destination for free agents than they are to the Dodgers.
No one is leaving money on the table to play for the Mets!
@carterhawkins113 Not referring to the farm systems in this case...
The Dodgers won the Word Series and found a few hiccups along the way.
This winter they did what ever they had to do to make sure 2025 would be an easier path to a championship, nothing is a guarantee but I don't see a Dodgers Mets rematch in the NLCS based on what these 2 teams have done so far this off season.
Dude, Jim … You’ve got the best straight-dope ball channel on YT-no shtick; no ego; no sponsor-just lean info & solid takes w no fat. Once I found ya, I always click _here_ first. 🤘 🍻💥
Best in the business, hands down.
@ But ignoring SuperThanks ain’t a great way to grow a channel. 🥳🤷♂️ (I appreciate any fan who digs this channel like me✌️)
As a Dodgers fan I love how other teams are giving us so many good players!
No doubt! And Snell is the pisser of all pissers-how do you let THAT go to your division rivals … and Tanner Scott?? Dude was on the shelf for MONTHS! 🥴
Jim nailed it w the baby wanting the biggest lollipop-when feckless skinflints like Cubs ownership straight up saying they wanna “break even” … but LA’s the asshead? 🤡
Nobody's giving us anything. We're paying for them and we've made a destination franchise.
@ It’s sarcasm.
@@BackToOrthodoxy Don’t tell me JIM deleted my reply from last night, where I added to your comment. 👀 Did you see it, Ortho? _Someone_ did! 🤨
Jim I just started following you in the middle of last season. You present such a down to earth, common sense look at the MLB big picture. Really like tuning in.
Glad you found the channel & thanks for the positive vibes!
Best in the business, hands down.
A Profar, Harris II, Acuña Jr. outfield is immaculate
There are many great players around sprinkled on every team. The last time I checked, Bobby Witt Jr, Adley Ruchman, Ronald Acuña, Elly De la Cruz, Spencer Strider, Bryce Harper, etc are not Dodgers.
I don't know who "Robert Acuna" is, but he must be really good LOL
@@teachersama I've corrected it.
As a Dodgers’ Fan, I have loved this off season! Let’s go Dodgers!! Thank you Dodgers’ Ownership!!!!
As a Jays fan I could not agree more about the misleading lack of true info from the Jays FO. Its been like the for years but hearing you say it out loud really sheds light on that and I appreciate you calling them out for it!
The Braves got Profar, see, the Dodgers aint scooping up EVERYBODY. 😜
🤣🤣🤣
Never know baseball come from indonesia but i love seeing a good home run so i watch dodgers every time they hit the ballpark erupts like nothing else 😂
Breaking News: Padres parking attendants sign 1 year deal with parking lot across the street from Petco Park worth $20,000 because Padres couldn't afford them.
There is still a lot of resentment toward members of the 2017 Cheatstros. Of course, many teams may be willing to look past that to get a player of his caliber, but I do feel it could be a factor. And his contract demands of course.
You're speaking the truth Jim!!!!!!!
If any team wants a recent Cy Young winner for the league minimum, they can sign Trevor Bauer.
Well that is if MLB doesn't suspend him first.
Mets did it before deferred money they did it with Bobby Bonilla.
Lol yeah they did but the dodgers did it to the extreme
@@bradleybrady2111 Who cares if they did it to the extreme. What they did was legal. Maybe your team should spend money to make your team better.
@@bradleybrady2111they didn't do it to the extreme. They just did it better.
Yea to go away
@@airtioteclintyea ok,thanks to Ohtani
All the teams get up and play the Yankees hard, especially the teams in the AL East, I believe any team playing the Dodgers is going to be great baseball...
LA deferred will forever be remembered for Ottani deferral legacy
I'm a long time Dodgers hater, glad to see everybody else coming around!!
The players have been free agents who could sign with anyone. People should look at their own teams and blame them. The Dodgers are doing what they and everyone else should do - sign players!
Disagree. Other teams are looking for specific and strategic pickups for their rosters. Dodgers are taking talent off the table off the table just because they can. You can't play 15 all stars every day. These guys could be being showcased all over the map, with huge fan bases rallying around them. Each team used to be defined by their core group of stars. Now I couldn't tell you who leads half of mlb teams .. and any stars they do have are just waiting their turn to run for LA or NY* now. The sport isn't in a good place at the moment.. not promising to be a good product this year. (40 year fan .. and I live in LA!)
*NY a little less these days, it appears.
Are you saying Dodgers don’t need pitchers? Have you not noticed that pitching has been the biggest issue with the Dodgers the last few years? of course those are targeted players strategic to their needs. I don’t even know how many players have had a Tommy John surgery or are injury prone. Dodgers needed depth. I guarantee you there is going to be record revenue for 2025.
I was beginning to wonder if teams were not looking at Profar because this was an outlier year for him. Wasn't sure they wanted to pay to find out if it was a fluke or if he really found something.
Braves lineup is scarier than the Mets, Mets need Alonso to extend that lineup… would be a huge loss if Alonso goes to the Jays and Vladdy resigns.
That's why when I hear Mets fans worrying about LA, I think, you'd better worry about the braves and Phillies. Not LA.
I agree. The braves at full power look scary.
@@barbaroacosta5335I hope you're right.
I would love it if alonzo signed with the blue jays.
Mets went to game 6 and continue to get better. Dodgers would be stupid to stand still. I dont hate that they continue to improve. Would not expect anything less.
Was hoping the Jays would pick up Profar. They need the swagger.
You need to create an incentive system for winning and consequences for not building competitive teams, then bring the entire league under one tv streaming service so no one team can dominate the shared market. Honestly, that should be able to get ratified by all the owners as your not putting an ceiling or floor on spending so each team is able to decide its own future
Who is going to judge what a competitive team is or is not? At the end of the day it's the players who perform or not. There is only a certain amount of talent to go around. It's not like every team can have a Soto if they pay 700 mil.
Jim is 💯 right about the Dodgers . People should blame the owners and GM’s of the other teams that don’t want to spend
Jim… place your bets now while the odds are good! In my opinion, the signing of Profar just made the Braves chances of winning the World Series just as good as everyone else’s, especially if Acuna Jr comes back 100% healthy, and AA is also talking about signing a starting pitcher and maybe a reliever as well. Also wouldn’t be surprised if he replaced Arcia at SS at some point.
Bichette’s chances of making it to Atlanta? Thoughts? You already know I think you’re the best in the game, hands down. Appreciate you brother!
A trend that seems to be happening more often is teams who offered insane contracts to players just to get them and then within a 1-3 years trying to salary dump cuz they cant afford them or realized it wasn't a good deal after all. There are downsides to spending more and bidding wars. It can spiral out of control very fast if not in check. The next Ohtani or Soto to pop up will want a billion. Who is going to offer a billion besides a few teams?
Jim, don't trust anything that Heyman says, specially when it involves a Boras client.
Also, no other team outside of both NY teams, the Blue Jays and Red Sox can spend like the Dodgers can.
In order to make deferrals, the team still needs to pay into a bond for an amount that will cover the deferred payments.
I like your line up for the Braves with Profar, I would probably swap Arcia and Kelenic at the bottom.
One last thing, both Kelenic and DeLaCruz have 1 option left, so there's no need to DFA them.
Biggest lollipop? Love it Jim😂
Jim you are the man thank you for everything😊😊
Team owners are livid that Dodgers management is trying to make their players happy....It's starting a "bad" presidence 😂...
We know that top players want to play on winning teams. That eliminates 20+ teams every year. It's an uphill battle to win over top talent regardless of how much money is on the table if you are not in contention to win. Lets not pretend that teams other than the top 5 had any chance at Ohtani, Soto, Sasaki and several others. We know where they were going.
I like it. I have to watch because I love the title!
I think the expanded playoffs have shown owners that the teams that spend the most don’t win the majority of the time. This last year was an exception but what is their incentive to spend? They have the mentality of just barely putting a competitive team to make the playoffs and then see what happens. We need a salary floor more than we need a ceiling.
Agreed
Let's go Dodgers. F*** the haters..
Thank you padres for signing this guy! Nobody wanted to keep this egotistical player along with tatis and machado! Every MLB fan should be happy he didn’t go to your team.
I’m a Braves fan and I hate the Dodgers but I’ve hated them for over 40 years. It goes back to when the Braves played in the NL West.
Go Dodgers!!! Everyone will be coming out to see the Dodgers come to their town. This is the beginning of the hickey stick of interest in Baseball, thanks to the Dodgers
Why whenever a free agent signs elsewhere are reporters quick to point out that the Jays finish second? Then, when the Jays sign Santander, we don’t hear anything about a runner up.
Rip padres
I am an Astros fan and i sure don't want Bregman back. We already have a new 3rd baseman that is way cheaper and might be better at hitting than Bregman at this point in his career.
Parades isn’t that good at defense at third Bregman is better than him Paredes played at centerfield yordan and schrawber played left field stick Paredes fat ass on the left field and you keep both bats and bregmans defense
@theoperry3236 We need offense to score runs and Paredes will do fine playing defense. The Astros will them be paying a salary tax and Bregmans contract won't give the Astros flexibility to maybe sign a great outfielder.
@ there isn’t anymore great outfieleders draft one this year and trade Presley for a decent one also next year the free agents suck Tucker would be the only good outfielder on the market rn and honestly unless the Astros were getting Soto no good outfielders on the market for the next two years trades and draft is the best option but also with a lineup that has guys that can hit the ball Astros outfieleders are great defensively you guys just want a Kyle Tucker in the outfield a all star level talent
@theoperry3236 Why not bring up Cam Smith he is an outfielder . I think he should start the season as an outfielder and he is a very great hitter.
@ cam is third baseman 😂
Bregman back with the Astros would screw the ridiculous Mariners strategy of picking the infield leftovers of whoever (Tigers, Cubs, Red Sox, etc) signed Bregman. Fitting. Mariners front office is absolutely inept this offseason.
Red Sox are still 6 deep at 2B. This is one of the issues with Bregman to Boston
The teams that don't have the money, should save up,jealousy is not going to hurt the teams with money
Being an Astros fan, I could care less about the dodgers spending money. I think especially with analytics. You can put a great team out there. Put the right players out there and let them gel.
Cincinnati for Profar is was annoys me... they have a clear need and he fit every facet of that need.
Probably Bob Castellini being cheap again.
“… If Murphy STINKS now …” 👀
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Lets be real, Steve Cohen isn't going to lose Alonso to the Blue Jays. They just playing agent games atm and once again the Jays are just being used for leverage.
AA is a sneaky shrewd guy, but gets the deal
The Jays have been screwed with so many times, it’s understandable that they are being cautious. Scott Boras could DEFINITELY be using the Jays to drive up the price for the Mets… and conversely the price for the Jays goes up if they want to steal him away. I think the Jays FO understandably doesn’t want to be used and messed around.
Cubs went to a 4th yr Jim. Reports are they did it "too late in the process". Dodgers payroll with tax is sitting at 456 mil. Cubs total revenue reported at 500 mil. Come on man.
Hate is a strong word where was that energy whn astros cheated... stop hating your owners have mo ey tell them go spend!!!!!!!
Who's playing 1B for the Mets? They got Manaea back ( a MUST-DO move, IMO) and gave all the money in the world to Soto... what else? I think Cohen flexed incorrectly by just signing Soto, and Alonso made a huge mistake by not going back to the Mets.
Remember, the Dodgers can’t play but( Nine)players at the same time!
One good season?
I don’t hate the Dodgers🤷🏼♂️
The "all teams are my kids" talk was weird. Otherwise great show. Thank you.
Profar is 31. And had 1 good year ehhh reminds me of Cameron Maybin. Hard pass
Team value appreciation? That's great if the owner wants to sell the team or borrow money. The $4 billion in appreciation of the Cubs doesn't do anything for paying for players or putting profit in the teams account. It's no different than the appreciation of houses many of us have experienced. It does nothing in terms of net worth unless you sell it and realize the gains.
The owner of the Reds has a total net worth of $400 million. That’s about the same amount as the Dodgers payroll for 2025 alone…can any and every team really do the same thing the Dodgers are doing? Not sure I believe that
neither will get DFAd when they both have options!
Philly fan here Jim how do you think the Phillies off-season has been so far
I heard that owners voted not to have a salary cap
Pete with the Jays would be an ideal fit. Just sick and tired of social media morons making crap up. I also believe jays are getting used to. To much smoke going around currently. Shi and BNS need to stop. They don’t have sources at all.
When someone "hates" somebody it's because the somebody is doing things great and the someone's must reclaim to their own teams owners, Dodgers is good in their job, look for victory, for been the Best and the most ironic is that the playeras want to go to the Dodgers, and not just for money, for all around the Dodgers organization.
I don't know how correct I am but I heard Profar was an Andruw Jones fan as a child
Honestly, I think the Blue Jays need a guy like Bregman more than Alonso. They need SOMEONE besides Vlad who will put up a decent OPB.
We love to be hated now. The team has not been good for the past two decades. It’s our turn to kick this leagues ass!
Wdym they have been like a playoff team for the past 15 something years
I like Bregman just more Xfactor and positional versatility
The issue is the derfments. There needs to be a deferment cap and a salary minimum. Boom problem solved
This is this difference between the media speaking about LA and the reality on what the media is missing on how the fans of 29 other teams feel.
The Mafia dodgers they have a deal they can't refuse🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm not mad and it's not my 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Martino is a Yankees fan... can'r trust anything he writes about the Mets!!
Profar...top level defensive player. Dodger killer.
Good that's what I wanted to hear.
It's great to be hated..cry cry 😭😭😭
There is a lot of risk with profar he is 31 with 1 good year na!
There's Dodgers hate... there's envy... I admire the ownership wasting no time signing players to win a championship. The ownership created an environment for players wanting to play for... But, also know.. There's no guarantees in baseball... Alot of good players available to sign..!
Not every team can defer over ONE BILLION DOLLARS what a ridiculous thing to say haha
What would Bregman back to Hou mean for Parades
Toronto noise around Pete could just be Boras trying to get the Mets to budge. Stearns continues to play 11 dimensional chess.
Back in the late 90s and early 2000’s the Yankees were the evil empire, now the Dodgers have taken over that title. Some ownership groups are willing to spend what it takes, some teams that can spend will not spend. Then there are some owners that should not be allowed to have an MLB franchise. I’m not sure I agree with deferred money. MLB needs to get its shit together and create a little more parody between the big markets and small markets, but the MLB players Association will never agree to any sort of cap. I don’t have a good answer how to make small market teams and big market teams have an equal chance. Football has big market and small market teams, but they all seem to have a chance.
Oh no! Everyone hates my Dodgers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 too bad so sad 💙
I'm broken up about it. 🤣
Would have rather seen Profar on the Jays... Oh well.
I love your show and I love your takes, but we gotta stop acting like the Dodgers geographic location has nothing to do with it. That whole "any team can defer payments" is BS, respectfully. Nobody is taking deferred payments like that to go to Kansas City or Minnesota etc. 🤷🏻♂️ Just saying. 🙏🏻
Look at the facts, Dodger haters. As it stands now, the Dodgers only have a one in four chance to repeat as WS champs. Y'all are acting as if they're guaranteed a repeat! IT"S BASEBALL. Too many factors can and probably WILL affect the outcome next October. Given that, I still like my Dodger's chances. Sasukit! 😁Roll Blue!
Braves needs a catcher Murphy is not the guy
I think the braves will trade kelnic
Blue jays may be waking up to that culture you're talking to. They got santander to defer and I think they realize they need to follow in the footsteps. Hope they get Alonso or at least another starting pitcher.
Just wait 10 years when the dodgers will have to start paying those deferred salaries the team will be fielding a bunch of AAA players and players at the end of their careers and they lose 100 games a year. The end is near
If a team has plenty of money, you use it,common sense
You are nuts, the dodgers tv deal alone allows them to spend 3 to 4 times more than most. The twins don’t even have a tv deal. Get real Jim
How is that their fault they got the last big tv deal? Thanks to us fans for the high ratings and highest attendance 12 yrs in a row and the biggest away attendance is what made that deal possible. They still have to pay huge luxury tax and still have to subsidize other teams with profit sharing. All that deferred money still has to be paid. The Dodgers just better at the business side of baseball.🤷♂
Cheap teams 😂
Dodgers have a massive business advantage over almost every other team by virtue of their location, hence the TV deal. Solution is to have all 29 other teams move to LA/NY, but obviously that is not good for the sport so the league must hold teams to certain regions/locations. Other solution is to balance the playing field by preventing teams with permanent economic advantages to also translate to permanent on field advantages via salary cap
@ Location? All sports teams started in the Northeast. It was a disadvantage anywhere else other than there a half century ago. lol Now it's an advantage? hahaha The reason the Dodgers got the last big tv deal was becauz of it's HUGE fanbase all over the country and now world and their championship legacy. Same with Cowboys (not in LA orNY) same with Cubs (not in LA or NY) Same with Greenbay ( not inLA or NY) Same with Kansas City (not in NY or LA) Same with Warriors (not in LA or NY) No one even knew where Golden State Warriors played until they became champions. Stop it.
I still can’t believe it’s January 2025 and people are unwilling to scream and shout at their poverty owner
They can't spend if there tv deals not making them lot of money
Dodgers will sign the Atlanta Braves team all deferred. MLB is going down the tubes.
Im so pissed at my teamowners the reds they made 330 million with operations cost of 50 million pay rolll of 103 million or so that leaves at least over 100 million on players so get what you are saying i cant stand the Castellini they are cheap ass ownership but im a fan since kid and big red machine but im about to turn back on them
Develop a lottery based on wins & losses for these Asian ball players.
Profar had one good season after a bad. He might turn out to be a bum, good luck with that Braves.
He will be a bust cause I don’t know if you remember if you recall he left the madres went to the Rockies his defense was so bad he ran into the was trying to catch the ball hurt himself instead of making the play. Then got let go by the Rockies had to go begging for madres to take him back. Dude a bum, he can’t be good anywhere but the madres also why too damn cocky for an average player
I Wonder if DODGERS Stadium Caught Fire What Resources Would be Allocated to Save it by the City of LA and the State of CA.
Dodgers can spend and sign players to their hearts content but they should not be able to use deferrals to avoid having to pay increased amounts for exceeding the luxury tax threshold. Deferrals should count against the current year for luxury tax purposes. Same would apply to all teams but it may impact the Dodgers willingness to give out the number of contracts that they do. If they still are willing to pay the additional luxury tax, then more power to them.
Cry harder, deferrals aren’t the problem here. It’s not just the dodgers, blue jays and Santander 2/3 of his contract. Burnes deferred his contract, Mets have deferred Maena contract. Problems are the owners not spending money and crying poor and trying to “break even” and letting franchises cheat and get away with it and oh here you can keep it.
Until the rules are changed, nothing the Dodgers are doing is illegal or breaking of any rules. They are paying the huge luxury tax while also subsidizing other teams with profit sharing. 😉
@@afluffybuffalo Yes and Strasburg, Scherzer, Bonilla, Lindor, deGrom, Yelich, Sale, Cobb all have deferrals in their contracts too. But most haters think it's just the Dodgers. haha smh
Cheap teams 😂
Anthony Santander deferring 62 million of his 92.5 million with the Blue Jays. Corbin Burnes deferred 60 million with the D Backs. So this Dodger rule applies to the Blue Jays and D Backs too?🤔
"Be like LA" yes Cleveland go out and sign an 8 billion tv deal. Offer deferred money cuz if u do that guys will surely come to Cleveland. Gtfoh Jim
Mets do deferrals manea has one
Bro stop comparing they deferred 680mill in 10 years
@ you talking about Ohtani if so he doesn’t need the money he makes a lot from gambling
Strasburg, Scherzer, Bonilla, Lindor, deGrom, Yelich, Sale, Cobb all have deferrals in their contracts. Not just Dodgers. 😉
Anthony Santander deferring 62 million of his 92.5 million with the Blue Jays. Corbin Burnes deferred 60 million with the D Backs.
@@DIEHARD1010 So don't btchAbout Dodger deferrals if other teams clearly use them.
