I think that's where this is leading to eventually.

I 've been told the Bears will build their stadium in Indiana and be the owner of the stadium and lease the land. Is that possible? Would this be because this is the way to avoid paying property taxes on the stadium? If they did lease the land, I wonder how much it would cost them to lease the land?

Ok, now let’s deal a discounted Robert to Mets lol

So maybe a salary cap won't be as far fetched a reality as we all thought.

Why is it better that so many teams refuse to compete and to bring the league down to that level?

Put up a 3.1 WAR season while playing a new position. The Cubs aren’t just going to give him away. They’re better off holding onto him for injuries and when/if Nico leaves

Conforto is a washed player. He has been for past many years.......let Baldwin play instead of bringing in crap like conforto

Also, Mets were better off just keeping Alonso I feel

Everyone associated with the Dodgers organization including their fans and minor league teams, and Japan, which in turn is good for MLB. And theoretically it should make other teams also want to do and spend more to win, but greed is a powerful thing. I don't think the reality of Ohtani can be ignored here though. If there is no Ohtani I'd bet the Dodgers wouldn't be spending on players like they are. They get so much more money from him just being on the team. It's just like with Jordan and what he did with the Bulls. Made them a global sensation and that has lingered even to this day as they've been completely mediocre since his last days. The Bulls have money like they do today because of MJ (they just have a cheap ass owner that is also incompetent). The Dodgers have money because of Ohtani.

And yet they plan on adding 2 more expansion teams and realigning the divisions and letting the abyss between the haves and have nots widen . 162 game schedule with more games likely added to a playoff structure with 8 divisions winners and 4 team divisions once there are 32 teams. Playoff snow games with playoffs expanding into November. The players union will eventually crack with the disparity in wages of top earners and all the other players . 3 players on the Dodgers roster make more in one year than the 26 man rosters of multiple teams. The needs of the many will eventually trump the needs of the few or Baseball will break .There will be more and more gambling scandals in coming years. That can of worms is just going to get messier and messier.

Not so sure about that, but we will likely never know either way.

The asking price would have been Schultz or something along those lines

This is why some posters were interested in Shaw, even though the Sox infield is full. But Conforto is still good, right?

What you’re ignoring is the fact that the Dodgers have essentially bought themselves a guaranteed playoff spot every year. No go look at the bottom 10 clubs and see how frequently they make the playoffs. When you’re rocking a sub $100M payroll, your margin for error for development, health, & even luck is basically zero. The Dodgers don’t deal with these same challenges the can afford insane levels of depth. They can also build a team that is optimized to win World Series and reduce a lot of the volatility that is the MLB playoffs. Let me frame this another way…why is is this a good thing? Who is benefiting from the Dodgers outspending many teams but a 4x to 5x ratio?

Nope, worse. Acuna. 🤣

I don’t know man, the Mets infield is super crowded now while their outfield is a disaster after Soto. They could possibly just sign Bellinger, but I feel like Robert is one of their best options at this point.

Where’s he going to play lol you figure Lindor at SS, Semien probably at 3B, Bichette at 2B. Unless they’re able to move Semien. Edit: I guess Baty can get at bats at corners and DH

Agreed but I don’t think he’s available

If we’re trading for a Mets infielder, I’d rather have Baty.

Robert for Vientos?

42 million a year for Bo Bichette? Yeah, we're getting a lockout.

My lord.. They have too many infielders lol.. It seems very much like making a move, just to make a move. I guess they have more infielders to trade us for Robert now
