The Dodgers have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to apologize for!

Yep, @MLB gave them a deal when they were in bankruptcy that gave them a gigantic competitive advantage over the other 29 teams in MLB. Dodger sycophants like yourself refuse to acknowledge that the Dodgers are positioned to take advantage of a loophold in a way nobody else can. Dodgers are saving almost $200 million per season in revenue sharing that they should be paying based on their local TV deal, creating a fund of over $2 billion that allows them to have over a billion dollars in deferred salaries. But sure, they are "within the rules" as written for the Dodgers but not the rest of the league.

Dodger Jim defending the dodgers. Who could have guessed that

Your right ,mlb does Dodgers deferment-$1.112 billion The rest of mlb deferment (10 teams with none)-$1.1 billion Average deferment minus the Dodgers-$38 million By having a cap on the revenue sharing they are able to spent that extra bread on whoever. Not everyone can do that.

Maybe not, but baseball does, based on advantages that the Dodgers have that nobody else has, especially a TV deal. Everyone should have an even playing field just like the other three sports.

Buying championships is never respected whether it was Steinbrenner or the Dodgers. They raid other organizations instead of developing their own talent to win.

No ones asking them to, it isnt that they did anything wrong, its about acknowledging thier advantage. Everything they do is above board, but 90% of other teams cant take on the risk they can.

Way to not even address the actual competitive advantage issues across MLB this exposes. Lazy take. "Have I mentioned this hour that I'm a Southern California native?"

The Truth About the Dodgers’ Financial Advantage

MLB certainly does, they let dodgers continue to rig baseball until it was completely out of control.

Shut up Jim

Even if say the Twins traded for Skubal and were willing to pay an extension. He still wouldn't sign and goto the Dodgers. The player gets everything.

The Phillies offer was better… And you LAD fans gaslighting the other 29 fanbases, disregarding that $350M local tv contract as a rounding error… Moneyball is easy when you have an extra $350M on the shelf every year.

I agree they don’t need to apologize, but it’s time to fix at least some of the inequities that inarguably exist in baseball more than any other American pro sport. If it means a cap, so be it.

Your back mush be killing you. Carrying so much water for Scott Boras

Shut up Jim you front running Homer moron.

Say that next year when the sport is locked down because of the Dodgers.

No they don’t but media and fans to stop the untrue story about “your owners need to be like our owners”. Complete BS. MLB gave them two massive exceptions and they made all the difference. TV revenue not shared the same and Ohtani exception. At least have honest convos Rome!

talk about how shitty the return for Detroit was... smells fishy bro

Homer

Welcome! @charliesheen

No one needs em to apologize numbnuts. What they will be responsible for is a lockout next year... Apologies or not. That's the truth.

Of course they don’t, the league is striking w or w/out this trade. MLB needs a cap along w a min payroll. As a Dodgers fan you love it, as a baseball fan you hate it. No one outside of LA can say this is good for the game.

Whether the Dodgers have anything to apologize for, MLB needs to appreciate the growing anger about these structural imbalances. This may be first strike where large portion of fans are happy to burn the village to save it

will be a one team league unless cap approved

Says the LA fan. Idiot

Fanboy Jim.

Using CAPS doesn't make a good take. Run him Alvi...

I just envision Jimmy Rome with his Dodger ballcap sitting near Mary Hart!!

Dodgers at trade deadline

It IS a war crime Dodger Jim, bWAR and fWAR
