The Evil Genius Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Can't root for them anyways being a Giants fan, but I find it hard to root for the team that outspent the Braves by $130 million this year. And the Braves were in top1/3 of team payroll. MLB is severely unbalanced. Edited October 20, 2021 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still paying him 1.5 mil a week and still owe him 60+ million that they will have to pay as long as he is on MLB administrative leave. They paid him 38 mil this year for 17 starts. 😆 https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/dodgers-trevor-bauer-38-million-17-starts-2021-suspension-sexual-assault-01ff8z3tkmmm Also, Bonds was a first class asshole. He did however have the benefit of people testifying against Sun. https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Ex-Friend-Describes-Sun-Bonds-Tantrums-3017674.php Doesn't excuse his actions.

LA and NY could sell out a stadium 10x over at any time of the day because of sheer population. It’s that throw money at it problem that has European fans pissed at oil folks buying teams. Newcastle was poor as hell and overnight became the richest club by like 5x the next closest club when Saudi Arabia bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus spending money by itself doesn't promise anything, thats why Yankees have chilled out a little on that the last couple years compared to their heyday. San Diego didn't make the playoffs (#3 in payroll), either, and there are plenty of poorly run baseball franchises as well. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) The argument is that without a hard salary cap, the teams that are rich can afford to sign bad contracts and have no ill effects. The Bauer fiasco (where he is still being paid) would have crippled smaller market teams whose big contract would have been him last year. Fwiw I thought the big source of revenue for the Dodgers and Yankees was their plush regional sports TV network deals...

The Dodgers get more per year than anyone's--including the Yankees--entire payroll. Spending is a requisite for winning, for the most part, as it is in most sports. However, it isn't a guarantee. The Dodgers went 32 years without a title--and then played 73-game "season" including playoff games. Angels, Phillies, Mets, and Padres did not make the playoffs--all in the top 10 in payroll. The Phillies in particular of bad spending: $80-ish million tied up in Realmuto, Wheeler, and Harper, pretty much nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) But let's not pretend that the Dodgers weren't relevant before last year, ok? They won 9 straight NL West pennants before this year. Their inflated payroll allows them to have bad managers or FO people and still put a 100 game winner out. My point is, teams like the Orioles, Marlins, or the Pirates will likely never be consistently good under the current structure of the MLB. Especially not when the Dodgers and Yankees can spend $200 million more in salary each year. Edited October 21, 2021 by The Evil Genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get teams like the 07-11 Phillies, 12-19 Nationals, the Devil Magic Giants, 11-14 Tigers, the 15-20 Cubs, teams like that--these are not small market teams, but sustaining long-term winning is very difficult unless you're the Dodgers and Yankees. The thing about the Dodgers though is, they are excellent at drafting and developing their own talent in addition to adding Bauer, Scherzer, Turner, Betts, Pujols, and all the other big contracts.

Fergasun Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Welp, that one didn't age so well. It was odd watching Urias and Fried get somewhat hung out to dry by their teams on consecutive games. Don't managers normally try to not let the other team get 4 runs on a pitcher, or is this 2021 baseball that I'm not all that familiar with. Chris Taylor is such an unlikely batting hero, even though my perusal of Wiki says he does have some pop in his bat... he also went to UVA and his father and grandfather wrestled at VA Tech ... although this is something a Dodger broadcast would never care about. I expected Dodgers to bat like this yesterday. It's odd not hearing about Kershaw choking in big situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
