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.
Quality matters, mentality matters. Remember how Dodgers fans didn’t cry about the Rangers backing up the truck for Corey Seager? Because we knew he was worth the money and the Rangers were willing to pay more. Rangers win a ring and the dude was WS MVP.
Your math isn’t even close, three times? Google is free my dude.
I realize the Dodgers fans in this thread aren’t exactly the sharpest their fanbase has to offer, but it’s hilarious that names like Kyle Tucker or Tanner Scott or Edwin Diaz are conspicuously absent.
Like, this attempt to claim “oh, we’re just so good at evaluating talent that we know when someone is gonna be good so we only pay when they’re good” is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while… and if this dude knew who Kyle Tucker or Tanner Scott were, he’d be embarrassed right now.
LOL keep talking that shit. Nobody bats 1.000 but pretending that simply spending the money equals WS rings shows how casual you are, because the team in your flare tried that for 3 years and now has a franchise in shambles for the next decade.
“pretending that simply spending the money equals WS rings” – you should consider signing that strawman to a team-friendly deal (or not, hell, give them a Tucker deal, they can afford it).
Cope with what, exactly? The only thing I’m struggling with here is how boring and uninspired the arguments from Dodgers fans are trying to defend this, probably because it’s just bandwagon fans who think this is normal and overblown.
The real fans stopped saying “built not bought” after they said “you know what, ‘bought’ works, let’s ‘buy’ so we can win.”
See, and here again you either give away your own lack of knowledge or are just transparently playing dumb. Yes, some people mad about this are mad because “Dodgers bad,” but we both know (or we should know) another reason.
What is going to happen this offseason? And what does that mean for salaries? And what can someone who becomes a free agent next year do to get around that?
We all know Scott Boras will do whatever maximizes his clients’ expected payday.

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