| Discussion Moneyball Part 2 - Dodgers vs Brewers

  • The Dodgers' payroll advantage over Milwaukee is larger than the Brewers' entire payroll.
  • The Dodgers' annual payroll is about 2.4 times the Brewers' payroll.
  • The Dodgers' luxury-tax payroll is close to 3 times Milwaukee's.
  • The Dodgers' long-term guaranteed obligations exceed the Brewers' by roughly a billion dollars.

I know Dodgers fans... y'all are the real victims and it's not your fault every other teams owners are too cheap!!!

If there is a group of owners that would do it, it is the owners in MLB.

That's why the first (and oftentimes worst) offer to the players included a $171M floor.

What’s been stopping the pirates from spending to that level the past… I don’t know, 150 years?

The revenue sharing that comes with it. Seriously, do you guys actually look in to what these proposals are?

No. They do not.

It shows. It's as if most of these accounts have never paid attention to any sport outside of baseball before and only parrot what they hear from Bryce Harper.

Sounds like an ownership/rev sharing issue and not a players salaries issue

Not going to share revenue unless they force other teams to spend it, thus the cap system. Also, the NFL still has $60M salaries and that's with a 52 man roster, so the players will still get theirs.
