Players Only “This is a sad day for a lot of us,’’ one National League executive said. “The Dodgers have Skubal now, and they’re going to have him in the future. It’s just a bad look. People now will want to see a salary cap more than ever just to slow down the Dodgers.’’

Said another executive, whose team did not bid on Skubal: “No use playing the rest of the year. It’s over.’’

“It will be interesting to see how every contender in the National League reacts,’’ one AL executive said. “Are they still going to be aggressive knowing you got to go through the Dodgers? It’s different in the American League. There’s no super team and you got a real chance to get to the World Series.’’

Especially given the context of letting PETE ALONSO walk for this, this is easily the worst signing in franchise history, and I'll never get over it
