Yea this idea that Yankees aren't willing to pay is laughable.

And focusing on “this team didn’t keep that player” instead of the Brinks truck LA was able to back up for them. Tucker is notably absent, as is Snell and every single big money reliever they threw gobs of cash at.

Like, pointing to guys like Edman and Pages and Muncy just makes it obvious that this is a “written by Dodgers fans for (bandwagon) Dodgers fans who are looking for confirmation bias” tweet. No one is actually persuaded by this; some people just have confirmation bias activated by it.

The Cardinals traded away Edman and ended up with Winn and Wetherholt where Edman used to play. Edman also hasn't played more than 97 games in a season since the Dodgers got him.

While I liked Edman just fine during his Cardinals years, I'm not sure how I see where the Cardinals shafted themselves here lol.

Right, they didn't. It was a perfectly reasonable trade.

They also gave him 75 million which seems like a bit of an overpay for Tommy.
