The winning teams viewership has to outweigh the teams who can't have nice things or in a forever rebuild. With price of streaming that will always go up eventually people just stop. I can no longer justify the price of even a spring training ticket. How many people can turn on a TV to watch a game without having an upgrade type package. It still lags compared to the NFL and NBA. Post season wins matter. The Brewers are the best record team that falls short.

I mean it's not theoretical, it's real. Spending 4 times the amount won them 93 games, only 3 more than San Diego. You'd think all this money would win them like 130 games a season or something but it doesn't. So while spending money certainly helps, it isn't everything. Milwaukee won 97 games last year, won their division by 5 games. Small market team in a division with a large market team. There are other examples. Until the data represents the Dodgers spending an exorbitant amount of money on players equals them singlehandedly monopolizing the league year after year after year through wins and championships, to answer your question yes I am completely fine with them being able to spend 4x the amount of other teams.

It's a great example of management who looks their employees straight in the eyes and effectively tells them, sure I could be doing more, but why aren't YOU doing more.

that's also what happens when a fan buys a ticket

with the amount of Japanese money coming in, I would be surprised if they don't have the most money

Let’s see some movement here. Mets lose out on an OF, Reds moved a guy who saw a good amount of time in the OF last year, and we had the Yankees rumor earlier this week (probably a plant for Bellinger’s market, who’s also still out there for Mets).

So as long as they are theoretically “beatable” you are ok with a team being able to spend +4x the amount as certain small market teams?

The Cubs dumped Tucker for an older and less expensive bat. The White Sox think spending $34 million plus a posting fee on a player is a big deal. The fact is that all of these teams could spend more if they wanted to but still aren’t. You should be more upset with those teams than the Dodgers who make their fans happy by spending big.

They have built two domes so i wouldn't doubt it.

I wonder what the main details of the Indiana stadium bill are. Do the Bears get a sweetheart deal where they keep the ticket sales revenue, concessions and parking? I can't find that information anywhere. I know the offer is to have the Bears own the stadium after paying off the debt. I don't when that will be.

Viewership has actually increased in recent years, with 2025 showing significant gains. The sport is getting more popular. Plus, the Dodgers didn't exactly dominate last season when talking wins and losses. They also barely, by the skin of the skin of their teeth, won the WS. They are still beatable. Without Tucker last year, they won 93 games. That's not exactly earth shattering. It's not like Tucker is going to make them even a 100 win team. Let them spend if they have the money. There's enough good players to go around at the moment.

Do you know sports at all? Almost 1/3 of the NFL isn't located in the town in their name. Both NY teams are in NJ. Washington is in Maryland.

This is an absolutely absurd post. The Dodgers have a regional TV deal that lets them outspend the competition and the dumb MLB has limited rules in place that prevent them from doing so. Glad you think it’s cool a sport has no market size parity.

Holy fucking s%*#

Will the NFL even allow them to move to Indiana? Cmon, the team is the Chicago Bears. The NFL doesn't want them in Indiana. Calling them the Chicago Bears with them residing in Indiana would be weird and wrong. I agree even if they can save a ton of money they won't move to Indiana. I guess if Pritzger talks tough and doesn't back down at all, the Bears could take their ball and go home so to speak, but does anybody actually think they'd move to Indiana. I don't care how much they'd save it won't happen. What odds do you give a move to Indy? I'd say 5-10%.

Good for the Dodgers, they care about winning unlike a bunch of other teams.

Trump will pardon them.

You know? He seems to act much differently on SoxMachine. Here, when challenged on his ..."posting", he'll throw up a lot of dust about "who will be the closer on the 2030 team"? When it doesn't really matter. Rosters are fluid. You just need to provide the fluid.

Embarrassing. Jerry is a joke.

Lol

Also for the record the Cubs madw almost 9 figures on paper last year, and probably just as much off the books in Wrigleyville. The fact they didn't lead the way for Tucker should piss off every Cub fan out there after they wasted trade chips to get him for a year.

Capping referrals is fine but I love when the Dodgers do this and makes me want a cap less to shove it to Jerry.
