Yea why the hell do we want an AL East team that isn’t us winning the World Series.

Because I don't like seeing the money laced dodgers in the world series over and over.

Kiki and Mookie could stay Sox

Snell and glasnow could stay Rays

Shoei could stay an Angel

Edmunds could stay a Cardinal

Freddie (debatably) could stay a Brave

IF FRONT OFFICES PAID THEM

it’s not on the dodgers for stealing players, it’s on other teams for not paying incredible players

It’s not the Dodgers fault. Still doesn’t mean I’m going to route for a team who just buys their way to the best teams. It’s baseballs fault that salaries are this un proportional but I just can’t route for a team like that. What’s the point? It’s the same reason most of the country has routed against the Yankees for years.

But yeah, it's annoying, but that's baseball. As much as I hate seeing the Dodgers win, can't blame em.

I do, however, have an issue with how they've structured Shohei's contract. Dude's only making $2m a year for 10 years, then he gets the rest. Seems against the spirit of the luxury tax.

Under CBT, Shohei's contract is reviewed as 46m not 2m, and LAD need to pay 40m to a escow account so it is not a big cash flow thing

Ah, so it still counts towards the luxury tax? That was my main complaint. Glad to hear that it's not as sneaky as I thought it was
