"It's not about him. He didn't do anything wrong. It's not about the Dodgers." Stephen A Smith gives his input on Tarik Skubal's statement 👀

@stephenasmith But if it was the Yankees he wouldn’t be bitching about this.

@stephenasmith He’s actually right. It’s baseball’s broken system that allows this to happen. Lockout can’t come soon enough.

@stephenasmith They just let bro blabber into a camera 2 hours a day and it all sounds like absolute nonsense

@stephenasmith Him and his agent basically forced themselves onto the Dodgers but yeah they are both victims in this

@stephenasmith He didnt want to go anywhere else and everyone knew if they traded for him it would be a rental and that he would sign with the Dodgers after this season.

@stephenasmith Every time Passan opens his mouth it smells like an outhouse.

@RespectableVinc @stephenasmith Typical—Smith is clueless, knows nothing about baseball. All teams trade prospects for a big name free agent to be. Who the hell wants to take on more salary! 🤣

@stephenasmith Salary Cap Era begins

@stephenasmith @mlb is awful. Dodgers got bailed out by @mlb and don't have to pay the required penalty for spending so much. League is a joke. Won't watch it again until a salary cap is in place.

@stephenasmith if the mlb made LA stop using deferred money it wouldn’t be a lockout but the dodgers found a cheat code inside the system

@stephenasmith Remember baseball the fans pay for everything so yall have a job and customers are always right 👍🏻

@stephenasmith …..@stephenasmith @FirstTake need more @MLB @MLBONFOX @MLBNetwork coverage 👍👌✌️🙏

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith Look all the comments are Dodger fans. They actually destroyed baseball bc we will not have a season next year.

@stephenasmith Maybe it’s because of the instantaneous new cycle but when I was growing up the Yankees were what the dodgers are. Every time a young player had a breakout year the conversation was ‘how long until he is a Yankee’. I don’t remember this much hatred towards NY

@stephenasmith Didn’t everyone in the league have a chance to acquire Skubal but chose not to? 🤔

@stephenasmith Salary Caps are communist.

@stephenasmith Stephen A. doesn't know anything about football or baseball. He just likes to hear himself talk. The statement was what Dodgers critics were saying. Under the current MLB, all teams had a chance to get Skubal. The Dodgers want chips, period!

@stephenasmith it’s unlikely but all this differed money would make me nervous as a player l, what happens in 20 years something happens and can’t pay them what they owe them ? You think they can ever sell if wanted to with 1 billions dollars owed to players that won’t ever play for them ?

@stephenasmith Smith bashing the Dodgers again? Nice try Yankee fan

@stephenasmith NBA and Yankees fan crying hahaha GTFO

@stephenasmith @JeffPassan looking at the clown 🤡 @stephenasmith and wondering how he still employed!..😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@stephenasmith What @stephenasmith is not understanding is that in MLB prospects are valued assets. If you have a good farm system, you are developing players for years. This is not the NBA on where G league players are valued the same as MLB assets.

@stephenasmith How does he know other teams can’t do what the Dodgers do if owners won’t open up their books? Can there be a cap without the owners opening up their books?

@stephenasmith FOR STEALING TEAMS THERE TEAMS PITCHERS EVERY YEAR

@stephenasmith Any team couldve done what LA did lol

@stephenasmith Well it’s more about the league wanting the lockout lol

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith Nobody watches this show

@stephenasmith MLB needs block every expensive teams not getting there pitchers period

@stephenasmith Against capitalism, Stephen A? What about your contract gutting your station of talent?

@stephenasmith Stephen A: Yankees do it it’s okay. Dodgers do it they’re ruining the league and cause a lockout.

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith We are so headed for a stoppage lol
