Funny how MLB managed to get the same umpire behind the plate for all of the first seven of Kershaws playoffs games. He lost all of them. When he saw the same umpire for the eighth game behind the plate he was removed and Kershaw had a different umpire and won that game. How things might have been different if he had done that sooner

The only way to fix the small market greed is to relegate and demote their ass to lower tier to force them to compete. And the people from newly promoted cities will be engaged in the sport and bring even more national participation. Right now, most of the American cities don’t even have major sports teams meaning American sports league are so stupid to lock out like 60-70% of the American population.

People are angry at the dodgers because that is sports. The genesis of the fury comes at the sport itself. This is the worst product I’ve seen in 30 years of being a fan. The game is in terrible shape, and the fans are frustrated. The blame should be 100% on the owners and the commissioner for allowing this to happen.

Dodgers didn't break baseball. Expansion to small markets did. This is a big market business.

The 23' World Series featured a 90 win Rangers Team beating an 84 win Dbacks team. No division winner advanced in post season, with every post season matchup ending in an upset other than the World Series. The Dodgers acquiring Shohei, Glasnow and Yamamoto doesn't mean squat. They will win the west again, but still have to navigate through the post. A different team comes out on top every year. It was TERRIBLE for baseball to have the two best players in MLB on the same bad team that kept the world from being able to watch them compete in October. I hope and pray Arte Moreno does the right thing and trades Mike Trout to a contender. MLBs popularity is going to skyrocket next year.

Frankly, if the Dodgers manage to advance to the World Series at least once in the next decade this will be considered a success! I have to say I'm puzzled by the final sentence. WHY is Baseball's popularity going to "skyrocket?" What is going to reverse the decline in it's popularity, that places it no better than THIRD ( ahead of only the NHL and soccer) in sports?

Has it though? Then how do you explain the Rays? The Dodgers aren't just good because of money. It's their analysts and baseball experts that when combined with money, they're able to do what they're doing. Yankees, and Mets also spend a lot. Can't say they they're as good because their experts aren't as good as the Dodgers' baseball experts. I still think the A's are decent when it comes to experts and analysis, just not as good as the Rays. The problem for them is that their owner self sabotaged them until this crap we're seeing right now. If they actually spent money that their market allowed them to, combined with their expertise, there would be no reason why they cannot make a run for the wild card spots. That's over with now. They're crap for the forseeable future.

Dodgers spent $58 million in free agent signing last two seasons and saved money. They now get to spent it.

For how many years did Bud Selig hold down the Dodgers so teams like the Giants could win. Selig tried to hold down the Yankees too but the Yankees fans and the New York newspapers wouldn’t allow it. He ran on being a champion for the small market teams and he stated publicly he was glad he was able to hold down the Dodgers. It’s time the Dodgers finally get some revenge

We talking baseball in December. Babes all is not broken.

If all fans actually hold their billioners owners accountable about every year profits and how much they invest back in their team instead of complaining how unfair the dodgers owners are they for sure will see major changes in their teams. It wasn’t too long ago when the previous dodgers owners literally took all the $$ and invest everything on their real state business.

Just have in mind that next year when the Dodgers visit those "small market" teams, they're gonna sell out those 2-3 days they visit. And the profit will stay on those team, and the owners will pocket all of it instead of doing some signings for the team; so enough with the non sense

As well of punishing teams that overspend how about have a Minimum MLB Payroll and punish teams that don't make competitive offers to keep home grown talent and free agents.

There needs to be a spending cap and floor.

It makes the game more enjoyable and would get fans of every fanbase more excited about their team going into the season.

Looking like it’s just a matter of time with this team!

best fix is to impose a MINIMUM SALARY teams need to spend. It will weed out the owners who don't care about anything but profit

Major League Baseball is not broken. Everything the Dodgers have done is legal per the CBA. Small and Mid-market teams have more ability to do things as the Dodgers have done, but they pocket the money instead of spending it on improvements to their teams. They cry poverty, which is ridiculous for wealthy owners of Major League Baseball teams. They should be forced to spend a minimum amount every year if they wish to continue getting revenue sharing. The fans of other teams that are crying about this wish that their teams had done the same thing. Blame your ownership, not the Dodgers! The Yankees did the same thing under George Steinbrenner from 1975 to 2010. People screamed at them too. It's all legal as long as it complies with the CBA.

I wouldn't say it's broken and certainly it's not the Dodgers (or any other team that spends) fault. The ones that should be pocked and pushed to change things are the teams whose owners just want to pocket all the money make and the money they receive for FREE. There's no need for a salary cap for it should be a floor cap

The Dodgers didn’t get Ohtani and Yamamoto because they have the most money. That is just a false narrative. The money obviously matters, but there’s nothing that the Dodgers can afford that the Yankees and the Mets can’t. Yamamoto chose the Dodgers even though Steve Cohen offered him the exact same contract, and the Yankees offered him a contract that’s shorter and has a higher AAV. The notion that “small teams have no chance” is also just wrong. Five out of the top ten teams in payroll didn’t even reach the playoffs in 2023. That’s a fact.

Hopefully the Dodgers keep breaking baseball

Tell the other billionaire owners to spend.

It's only "broken" because it's the Dodgers making these moves. If it were the Cubs or Blue Jays or even the Red Sox, the same moves would be celebrated.

Since money doesn’t give u a ws win (nyy nym lad sd), then why y’all complaining that baseball is broken? U mad cuz ur hometown team can’t afford a popular player? Maybe if ur team charged more for tickets, concessions etc..but then you’d complain about prices..

Give the Dodgers credit they don’t tuck their money in the mattress but it comes at a cost for the fans ticket prices at opening day 400 parking prices food. People are willing to pay. I think humans are broken.

Dodgers spending $1B just to get eliminated by the braves

Long time ago, been following for near 70 years, now it’s all only for money, culprits? The owners, instead of giving a small percentage of the esrnings to the players, it derailed to absurd contracts, ad to that that math is more important than knowledge and experience and you have the recipe for a total different game, this is not baseball anymore!

Baseball is broken...not because of the Dodgers but because of the smaller teams who get this money from teams like the Dodgers and don't spend it on players...Hello Robert Nutting.

I wouldn’t say it breaks baseball, but deferring money does seem to be a bit questionable. As a lot of people are saying, there do seem to be a lot of things to be questioned as a whole, but the deferrals, even tho not really that bad, kinda makes it so one team can buy up practically every free agent during an off season, which just seems not so much unfair, but just uninteresting. Spending money isn’t really the issue, it’s when one team can spend all of it/have all the appeal

Has anyone considered that Dave Roberts is solely responsible for their post season choking?

Don’t forget about cheating and the many other things

Should’ve known that when the cheat-tros were allowed to keep the championship trophy!?! Salty tears 😂😂😂

So if Ohtani was signed by the Bluejays would everyone blame them for breaking baseball? People need to stop crying about someone that was only going to play for the Dodgers

Dont cry kid Ask your team to spend

people screaming for a salary ceiling need to go yell at their teams owners. theres already a salary cap and luxury tax. the mets paid 100 mil in tax on their payroll last year. double the most expensive dodger season ever

They're just hating, I'm not surprised. Dodgers have always been hated. No matter what they do.

Now pro basrball teams are kind of walking advertisement boards. They are selling images but actual quality of players are getting lower. NO PLAYER LIKE RYAN, AARON, RUTH, AND WILLIAMS.

look at some of the big names that have been traded or signed big contracts for teams not called the Dodgers in the last few years...Verdugo, Bellinger, Seager, Pepiot, etc. What do they all have in common? Again, stop being jealous of the Dodgers and try and do a better job of scouting and drafting.

The only solution is to Demote their ass to lower tier leagues and the fans of the newly promoted teams will enjoy the sports more and more national engagements.

The Dodgers only got Ohtani, because the Angels couldn't build a good team. The Red Sox refused to pay Mookie even though they're a big market team. Dodgers got him via trade. Why are people acting like the Dodgers just buy everyone in sight? Lmao. People are only crying this time because Ohtani and Yamamoto were in a bidding war, and they chose to go to the Dodgers.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

As long as this current playoff structure exists, it won’t matter how much you spend. Mookie will always shut down for post season. Shohei is not 7th inning on hitter. And on and on. What is broken is the new era of pitchers. 5 innings is a quality start now. Bullpen games were every 4th game for Dodgers last year. They needed pitching and bought it. they gave away the two best hitting shortstops in the league right now. Seager being the first clutch Dodger hitter since Kirk Gibson. I’m from LA and the Dodgers are my team but I can Guarantee everyone they aren’t winning the WS. Also watching an 84 win team play for the title is what I would describe as broken. I’ve never routed so hard against an underdog in my life. Not cuz they beat Dodgers..Because they were an average team that had no business being there. Play off structure is broken. Don’t need 84 win teams playing, this isn’t the NBA.

I have been a Dodgers fan since 1974 and I think that the Dodgers have lost their minds. I don't mind the Yamamoto signing but I feel Ohtani should have stayed with the Angels.

The Rays prove just how these middle and big market teams are failing. Do you need to spend top 3 in baseball for you to have a better team than you currently have? No, but their baseball experts are crap. The Astros and Braves are the most successful regular season teams apart from the Dodgers and they're not top 3 in spending. They have good experts in their front office. Part of the reason why the Dodgers are winning so much in the regular season is because the front office and coaches are so good. This combined with the fact that their main rivals the Giants are currently not spending money and do not have a front office capable of making the NL West more competitive. That's not the Dodgers fault though.

Ironic that the Dodgers have been given their Mickey Mouse WS ring from 2020 after all their spending.
