They have way more money at their disposal than the other teams and they're just buying up every good player to win every year – it's ruing baseball and it's getting old.
My Boys in Blue have been doing this for a long time now. For proof, just take a look at the 90s, where they had 5 ROY winners in a row (granted, the last was questionable, but I was ok with it☺). They have pretty much always been in the conversation for a top farm program multiple times in any given decade. Bad owners like McKook and Fox didn't do us much good, but great owners like the O'Malleys and now Guggenheim have and continue to show what this team's dev staff at all levels can do, even without billions of dollars. Oh, and Friedman is pretty knowledgeable too.😁
I’m super curious about how many active MLB players were part of the Dodgers farm system, I feel like so many players have been on the team
Lets also remember the Dodgers are in California. The state with the highest income tax. Unlike Florida, Texas, and now Nevada who can entice free agents to play in their states without being taxed.
Say what you will, you can't say with a straight face that they didn't absolutely game the system with the way they worked Ohtani's contract, legal or not it's a slap in the face to the luxury tax (not that it is particularly useful at curbing teams overspending)
The Dodgers being in LA helps
They buy players and dont use top prospects to get players
The dodgers do what teams like the cubs should do. They have money spend it, instead of overpaying by trading prospects for temporary players. They let there top prospects not come into a pressure situation where they have to be the best player on team. Instead they blend in with better players so they can learn and not feel pressured.
Must be nice to have an owner that actually cares about winning
0:07 who turned out the lights?
Are you sick? You sound different.
2:19 👈 GLAD you pointed that out!! 👌
With Magic's influence I'm thinking "three-peat". Never been done? Then it's time.
Sounds like you have a little stuffy nose. A lot of people are getting sick. Get well soon.
They are not a dynasty until they win a 3rd championship this year or next year in my eyes. Everyone throws that DAMN word out when the last MLB team was the Yankees because they WON 4 world series in 5 years from 1996 to 2000 until dethroned by the Diamondbacks in 2001.
Ya'll don't know what a dynasty is.
“You cant just buy championships!” Say the teams with terrible farm systems and scouts
Fort Wayne Tincaps made the clip 😂
My good God in heaven that was infantile. Let me see if I've got this straight: The team so incredibly rich that it could trade away everyday starters on any other team in the league as "depth," just proved that it's NOT buying championships because those trades … (checks notes) … BROUGHT SOMETHING BACK IN RETURN???? Is that REALLY the fucking argument that's supposed to break the "Scrooge McDuck" narrative??? REALLY???
The dodgers still have a long way to go to matching the era of dominance the Yankees had on paper, 3, 4, and 5 World Series streaks all independent of each other. But the modern era with analytics and competition is impressive. Great talking points.
Ohtani, that’s all they need
Prospects are just that until they produce. The Dodgers ain't dominating for decades either.
Nobody is impressed by a no salary cap league
They can do that because they have the financial flexibility to fix it if they pick up a bum. High Salary floor and cap are required. Nobody wants to watch this crap. The NFL had gotten SO much better since the salary cap. Stop defending this shit
As a Dodgers fan, I give this vid a chef's kiss
You ever notice how the only dynasty teams in the MLB are in New York and Los Angeles, the two largest markets in the country with the owners with the deepest pockets? Sure, they also develop talent well and have the right people in the organization to make it all work, but even aside from major free agent signings, bottomless pockets and big cities with prestige does seem to be a necessary ingredient to long term, sustained success. Am I jealous? Absolutely I'm jealous! I'm a lifelong Tigers fan, and I know that Mike Illitch did open up the checkbook for the Tigers' teams in the late aughts and 10s, but to have the same kind of top to bottom organizational success thanks to everyone wanting to live in and play in your city under the bright lights is an obvious, undeniable advantage that only the Yankees, Dodgers, and to some extent the Mets have had. I don't count the Angels because first of all they're 45 minutes away from Los Angeles proper, and their organization is so incompetent and awful that they've squandered whatever goodwill with players they once had. Nobody wants to play for the "other" "Los Angeles" team.
For the old yankees, the Kansas City As were a majot-league farm club. Any player who distinguished himself, the Yankees scooped him up for 'prospects''.
