    The Dodgers tapped into the Asian Market, they are tapped into the Latin American Market, they are always visible because of the Hollywood production that happens in LA. Plus they have a massive TV contracts. The Dodgers are loaded with revenue related to their baseball operations!

    Simply put the Dodgers are swimming in money…. And they spend it on the best players without hesitation.

    Anyone who ridicules other teams for not spending revenue they don’t have is fooling themselves. It doesn’t matter if the owners are rich and billionaires, they are running a business first. If their product isn’t drawing the massive baseball revenue; then those owners would be fools to throw their money away. After all, the purpose of the business is for profit and appreciation assets they can sell in the future.

    The Dodgers are doing what they can, because the rules allow them to do that; as they gladly pay the astronomical fines. Every one of us fans can say it isn’t fair, and even though it isn’t; nobody really cares in MLB.

    People need to stop believing that a team in the financial position as strong as the Dodgers, Yankees, etc would be benevolent and play fair, if the rules allow them to by their own rules.


    And yet, I still see blurbs by Astros haters regarding the 2017 sign stealing scandal. And nobody as much bats an eye at the huge disparity in spending in MLB. The baseball writers are constantly Dodgers and Yankee apologists, they humanize the bully tactics used by their beloved Yankees and Dodgers.

    The Dodgers are doing everything that is allowed under this broken ****ed-up system.

    I can hate them for a lot of reasons, but not for this.
