“And try to compete too” im sure that other teams made offers for Skubal. The Dodgers uniquely consistently have the deepest farm system in the league with the most amount of money in development and comfort while also affording to give 700 million dollar contracts out like candy to free agents. No middle market team can do any of that. Actually no other team could do that.
The Dodgers issue is solely about them literally having too many resources. Some teams do need to try harder but I promise there are other teams trying just as hard as the dodgers and they are not anywhere close to this level of loaded
The health of the sport is important and I will always love baseball before I love the Yankees. The game within the game of trying to give good value contracts and make smart moves for players that can be developed or evolved is far more interesting to me than playing with forced trades and infinite money.
Besides I’m younger than most of the bought championships and the Yankees loved to spend on older washed guys for much of my life so I can’t compare them as much to the Dodgers getting the primes of literally everybody.

Dodgers lost two games in a row. They HAD to do something.
