Makes sense but hopefully painter is ready for the challenge.Right . Hope his back holds up. I think that was one of the factors why John MIddleton said nah. Oh he got the money. And he don’t give a fuck about that tax either. But with Andrew Painter coming up he decided we have to get younger
yeah. Fans gonna throw eggs at his house and car........If not he gon get fucked up by someone!!!
A lockout is coming for sure. There will be no baseball in 2027 folks. And mark my words they will start late in 2028. Won't be 162 games in 2028 I can assure you of that.

This the shit that fucks me up about Ricketts ans the Cubs.
This dude got the money but refuse ti pay the tax.
He fucking kniws we need pitching, he knows he should have kept Tucker.
This dude is beyond fucking cheap.
Look at what the Dodgers made in advertising, ticket sales, and all that other shit promoting Ohtani. I know Tucker aint Ohtani, but hell right now Skubal damn near is, and for the right money I am sure he is available.

It makes sense of why they've let ranger go because they had to pay J.T. which is a smart decision in my opinion.Phillies to re-sign J.T.

The Atlanta Braves financial statements are publicly available and serve as a general guide for understanding the business of baseball. Any good accountant can move some decimals here and there, but these are a good starting ground.
The Braves made $46M in profit last year on $600M in baseball revenue and currently have $150M cash reserves. They're making huge profits (only 15% expenses) from The Battery, a reminder that the business of baseball spans beyond the concourse.
This shows that, yes, teams like the Braves (or your favorite franchise in the top 1/2 of baseball revenues) could probably spend more. This also shows that they could not spend anywhere near the levels of LAD, who are projected to spend $300M more this year than the Braves on payroll and taxes alone.
Peep TV revenue for the Braves - incredibly strong at nearly $165M during baseball season in 2025. It's still hundreds of millions short of what LAD brings in. That's why you're starting to hear about Rob Manfred wanting to consolidate MLB's media rights. The idea that 29 other owners are just broke boys who are choosing not to spend like the Dodgers is a logical fallacy. They are not capable of sustaining losses of 8-9 figures each year. We've seen it fail time and time again in this sport. You can handle losses in the short-term, but it's not a long-term ownership strategy.
With all due respect to 3YearLetterman, I'm convinced that people who think everyone should spend like this are the same ones who are financing their waterbeds.
A salary cap needs to be instilled in MLB.
But not in how much a player can make but how much a team can spend.
The Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers of the sport can spend $400mil a year but not have a cap on how much to pay a player, but a the Pirates, Rays, and Marlins of the sport need to spend $200mil and not act as AAAA teams.
This would mean a lot more teams would be spending money, so more money would go to the mid and lower tier players as there'd be more teams that have money (by force of the rules) to spend.
On the backend, MLB needs to reel in it's media deals. About a dozen teams don't have a local media deal.
It'll never all be under one umbrella cause some big market teams make too much money hosting their own teams to want to cut back and share with everyone else for the sake of the sport especially when they aren't feeling any financial issues.

How in the hell did Andruw Jones make the Hall of Fame?

Players Union in Baseball will never agree to a cap unless the floor for every team is like 150 million; which these dumb ass owners will never do; owners are wasting their time trying to get a cap; it wont happen in baseball!! plus this media reporting this because the Dodgers signed Tucker is bullshit also! Tucker could have went anywhere but he chose the dodgers; just like Ohtani and Yamato and Soki and Hernandez and Diaz and Freeman etc etc; Dodgers invest in their players and have created a culture that players want to be a part of; Salary cap has nothing to do with this;Bye bye 2027 season. And a part of 2028.
I agree, to an extent. It's certainly not the Dodgers fault cheap ass Bob Nutting doesn't spend money on the Pirates. Not the Dogers fault the Pirtes can't draft for shit either. Where it becomes an issue is the fans having to pay more money for the spending. Sure, it happens in all sports, but the gap in baseball is getting out of hand. Dodgers didn't break any rules, vut this deffered payment shit is ridiculous and should have been adressed by the dumb ass comissioner. Manfred is the real problem here. He's a piece of shit owner. And there's no way a lockout is not coming. Owners need to get rid of this fuckin clown.
This is where I disagree with you bro; Ohtani was offered 700 from several different clubs not just the dodgers; Tucker was offered more money by Toronto; Soki same money from several other clubs; Hernandez more money from other clubs; dodgers arent offering extremes amounts of money that other clubs arent; and or they aint outbidding other clubs; they have a culture that players love and they reward their players and they invest in their players; this dumb ass other owners dont and so fuck them! and again they aint getting no salary cap so all this shit is media talking points...I agree, to an extent.

Your not wrong at all. The biggest problem I have with all this is the owners like Nutting NOT spending more money. Now, you don't have to spend like that to compete with the Dodgers. You mainly have to draft and develop right. A's will be a serious problem in a few years following this philosophy. But a lockout is not a media talking point. If the team salary disparity is not properly addressed in the new collective bargaining agreement they will definitely be a lockout. Remember, the agreement is up after 2026. Manfred's job is on the line here and the MLB union is the most powerful one in sports. Don't expect this shit to end in two weeks once the 2026 season ends.
But it is being addressed though; through the penalties and taxes and thru these idiot owners not spending no money! That’s why I mean by media talking points. They not talking about how majority of owners don’t won’t to pay players. They not talking about how majority of owners pocketing the money! They not talking about how these owners are getting all types of money from other forms of revenue and using their teams to get the revenue! They only talking about certain owners spending on players! That’s bullshit! And the one thing we know is players in baseball don’t give a flying fuck! You seen how Harper got into manifried ass, pause! Players ain’t gonna give in to a salary cap at all! And I love it…Your not wrong at all.
