MLB 2025: The Dodgers vs The Field

You, too.

I got 4 WS wins from the Olde Towne Team in my first 70 years. Guess I'll have to be satisfied with that as the next one will be in 2104.
 
Sasaki to the Dodgers. Win a WS and regular season performance doesn’t matter, but there’s no reason this team shouldn’t win at least 115 games.
 
I’m not gonna whine about the dodgers, but I don’t understand the deferred payment piece. I have no opinion on it because I truly don’t understand why it’s allowed. Does any other sport allow this?

I kind of wish there was a salary floor

but I do know that I don’t have a lot of interest in watching an all star team all the time, I am probably alone in that

Any chance the next cba changes this?
 
Dodgers get Tanner Scott for 72/4. The Death Star gets stronger.

As for other sports doing deferred payments, I believe in the NFL you can spread out signing bonuses, and some guys will backload their actual salary for later years, but with the other leagues having salary caps, deferring the payment would ruin the whole point of the cap.
 
I don’t know how their roster wasn’t already filled, but the Dodgers sign reliever Kirby Yates. Last year with Texas he was 1.17 ERA and 33 saves.
 
Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese-born player to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of unanimous selection, and he'll be joined in the Class of 2025 by starting pitcher CC Sabathia and closer Billy Wagner.

Suzuki, who got 393 of 394 votes in balloting of the Baseball Writers Association of America, would have joined Yankees great Mariano Rivera (2019) as the only unanimous selections.

This is what puzzles me. I mean, as a Yankees fan, I can't get mad at what the Dodgers are doing, because the Yankees did this so often.

However, the difference is, the Dodgers are signing so many superstars, eventually someone is not going to get to play. It's simple math. And I'm surprised the players themselves don't see this. There are going to be guys lining the bench who could be superstars anywhere else.

Jeter missed by one vote, also.

They're getting paid, so what do they care? Especially in this Moneyball-driven era where most teams load up on entry-level contracts and then let players go as soon as they demand market salaries, they need to chase the $$$ regardless of playing time.
