That era has been dead.

Sox fans have major PTSD. Instead of being mad at our lazy owner for shutting the door on tons of different ways to try to win, we are pissed at the teams who are trying to win in every way possible. It's wild.

The big problem with a cap is that MLB isn't like the other sport in that they have an anti-trust exemption, and the lions share of money comes from local deals, and not national ones. You can't build a model that works the same way, because the revenues aren't the same way, The problem isn't that the Dodgers are spending, its that so many teams who can, are not.

They aren't though. Take a lot at what the Yankees make on paper.

Why are we acting like they are the only loaded franchise?

And the easiest way to increase it is to win.

Look, if the choice is Conforto, or the Getz failed prospect special, I would take the failed 'spect over Conforto, every single itme.

Good lord, really, you are comparing Billionaire team owners to Christmas presents? It is a ridiculous argument for sure. Team ownership consists of one job. Winning. Yes, I will judge a team as trying to win harder than it's peers as "better". Spending money isn't the only thing by far, but it sure freaking helps.

Because we should be punishing bad behavior, not someone who is trying.

Or, we could just move our own surplus IFs to the OF and save our assets.

Unless to have a line to the McCaskeys, that is impossible to know

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

Hahahahaha

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.

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.

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.

Wait a day or two and let Cohen stew. He just got shown up, big time.

That's just it, they don't. They just want it more

The Dodgers are playing 4D chess. The White Sox are playing with themselves.

100% accurate.

Better than the players we actually have...

A "hard worker" who won't listen to instruction isn't really a "hard worker".
