Dodgers are over leveraged hoping financial hardships never forces them to pay up and hope to sell high
Meanwhile, an article's out literally in the last 24-72 hours that Ohtani already generated his whole contract in one season. Guggenheim manages over 300 bn in assets and Coli posters are worried about how they will manage lol
Whatever's thought about Ohtani & especially the Soto contract, they're ultimately great for the players and agent operations. Only thing a salary cap does is take these deals off the table and encourage cheap owners to be cheap, because of that a salary cap will never be signed off by the PA
Like I said before, these contracts were going to happen anyway, just probably a decade later than they did. They aren't throwing that trajectory away just so the A's can make the playoffs every handful of years. It'd be different if they were actually trying to put out a good product and just couldn't make things break, 67 million is the most they've ever committed to a player and some of you think they actually have a seat at the table when it comes to rules affecting the whole league. Then there's the Reds owner openly saying with multiple years left on Elly's deal that he's gone & they won't keep him
It isn't the Dodgers or Mets fault the Reds, Royals, White Sox, Rays, As can't compete. Just like it isn't up to them to make teams that have all the resources they do (Yankees) spend like they do. LA & NYM didn't just pull numbers out of thin air, somebody else had to be on the other side driving numbers up too, otherwise why was Ohtani allegedly on that jet to go sign with the Blue Jays? And why did the Yankees let like a couple m's stop them when they already went over 700? Why did Judge take a paycut to stay there, what's a couple million to the fukking Yankees?
The funniest shyt is Yankee fans of all fans talking about a salary cap. Instead of penalizing big market teams doing big market shyt, owners that can't or don't want to keep up should be forced to sell or they can sit there and be happy to skim ticket sales when the big boys come to town. Salary caps aren't going to convince the As to want to spend more than the salary floor, get fans in Florida to care about the Marlins or Rays, or get Reinsdorf to care about a good product in Chicago
