Back to back? Lmao they need to win every chip for the rest of this decade to avoid slander from me

Especially if they end up with Sasaki and Soto

F*** baseball

Oh wow shocker! Deferred money.

what

They don’t too much now. Bro barely pitches past the fifth inning they can’t just pay him? smh

That boy got paid tho…Giants and Padres fans how do you respond?

This s***s really f***ing annoying actually

Like they need figure something out in the next players meeting

Dodgers:

Go ahead and announce Soto and max Fried to the dodgers at this point

Yea been expecting them to announce that over the last month now, surprised it hasn’t happened yet tbh

soto now going to yankees mets dodgers

on everything I need the alleged trillionare Yankees shadow investors to tap in NOW

First ever Tri-team contract and somehow the dodgers will still defer him paper when he’s forty

i'm curious about the economics of the dodgers situation. i know there have been many articles written about it but like just trying to wrap my head around it....

so they're in the luxury tax for 3+ years now so the tax is 50%. that's a hefty tax they'll be paying indefinitely until they get back under the luxury limit.

they are deferring contracts which helps them..... but then a guy like ohtani will be on the books for $68million per year for like a decade after he retires.

will the dodgers be able to continue this forever or are they setting themselves up for a dominant 2020's and a s***ty 2030s?

or can they really pay something like a billion per year in payroll + luxury tax on a go forward basis

genuinely terrifying to be focusing on one guy who obviously made a tremendous difference but the team is super flawed with or without him, almost would rather actually make moves & try & punt a deal that’s “competitive” & favorable to opt out of…if this is absolutely about money what difference does it make

when they sell the team and they dont pay a dime to any of em >>>

I mean with deferrals the value of that money will be less later on due to inflation.

Like I think I read somewhere the total value of Ohtani’s contract will be $450M due to the deferrals.

Either way though it’s kinda been their prerogative. They have a plan to be the best team from the last 10 years to the next 10 years. I’m sure they see it as worth it. Especially with the amount of money Ohtani is printing them. But the fans should be preparing themselves for a possibly bad run later on

Deadass was just thinking about that on my last post lmao. Like they could just run the 2020s into the early 2030s and then just sell the team before needing to actually pay it all off. While having like 3 or so chips lol

while this is true, the liabilities of those deferred contracts would be part of the valuation of the sale of the team. i know from our perspective we'd be like "well they're selling for 10 billion and they can say goodbye to those contracts and got off scott free" but that would be built into the valuation so it's not really accurate
