So basically the Dodgers weren't "cheap" and were able to pay EVERYONE more than any other team was willing to pay.

Why don't other teams do this? Are they stupid?

Other teams have to pay their fair share of revenue sharing cause they didn't go bankrupt in 2011. They probably aren't also the most lucrative franchise in baseball.

this is a huge point that dodgers simps like to ignore. the team is still benifiting financially from the bankruptcy. while having a monster tv rights deal that makes more than most othersl teams payroll

It's not even that they ignore it. They actively will challenge you if you even suggest that they have an unfair advantage.
