“Absolutely Stinks!” – Yankees Fan Rich Eisen Reacts to the Dodgers’ Massive Kyle Tucker Signing

37 comments

1. As a Yankee fan I cannot get mad, every team had an opportunity to sign him we are the fucking Yankees we have more money than anyone

2. Rich Eisen doing his show in Los Angeles as a Yankees fan is amusing.

3. LOL. It's a problem now that the Dodgers are signing top players but when the Yankees doing it decades ago, its not a problem. Its understandable if it's coming from other team but coming from a Yankees fan? What a hypocrite.

4. Tucker wanted to play for a team that isn't obsessed with the Yankees

5. Go Dodgers! Be mad at your owner for not putting in the effort.

6. Fans who complain about the Dodgers spending 75% of their revenue on players while their teams spend below 50% of theirs is annoying and need to re direct their dissatisfaction with their teams management but listening to YANKEES fans complain about spending on payroll is absolutely pathetic, especially older dudes, like this hypocrite, who grew up with the Yankees spending more than everybody for the last 100 years or so. Not only do the Dodgers spend on free agents, they have a great front office, farm and developmental system, an amazing stadium and the climate is 2nd only to San Diego.

7. Yankee fans can't say anything. Step up. You're not competing because you make bad decisions and don't spend money. Join the Cubs on pocketing cash and not trying to win.

8. Cry about it! West coast baby, Yankees are dead dodgers are the new evil empire.

9. Dodgers are playing chess and the rest of the league is playing checkers

10. In 2005 the Yankees had three times the median payroll…. No one talked about locking out the game back then.

11. Tucker will bat 4th after Ohtani, Betts, Freeman.

12. Yankee fans shouldn’t be talking about

13. So when the yankees were doing this years ago, it was okay.

14. The nerve of this guy – or ANY Yankee fan for that matter – complaining about high-priced aquisitions. Tough beans.

15. Crying about how someone else spends their money is pretty pathetic.

16. We took the mantle from the 90’s Yankees. We are the evil empire now and I love it.

17. I’m a small market fan (Royals) and I don’t GAF. At least I have a WS in my lifetime (2015). Can you imagine a Patriots fan having a problem with our (Chiefs) recent dominance? That would be just as ridiculous as a Yankees fan being mad about the Dodgers. But hey, the Royals WS win is more recent than the Yankees (2009). Haha!

18. Go Dodgers!!!

19. I'm sick and tired of non Dodger fans whining and crying everytime the Dodgers make a move to improve their team. There are 29 other owners out there who could've made the same offer to Tucker. This bullshit about the Dodgers ruining baseball is stupid. Nobody was crying that the Yankees were ruining baseball in the late '90s-early 2000's when they won 3 world series in a row. Is it just a hate California thing? Maybe you non Dodger fans need to tell the owners of your teams to stop using the team as a cash register and actually try to build a winning team.

20. This is the way it is. Get used to it . The poobahs who run the game let it get like this. When Bowie Kuhn was commissioner, he would not let the Reds get Vida Blue. Remember that well. Once this gets real bad, hopefully sanity will return to the game. Hard to say what that will look like

21. When the Yankees had 14x the payroll of the lowest team, Eisen did not care one bit. Shut up.

22. Is there any rule that what the Dodgers are doing can't be done by other teams ( deferred salary )? . Enough of the sourgraping and tell your teams to have the balls to do the same thing.

23. He doesn't want to be on a crap team. He wants to win. The Yankees are not going too. The Yankees have the money! He doesn't want to be a Yankee or a Met! Not illegal.

24. A Yankees fan is upset that another team is doing what the Yankees have done for decades. That's Rich.

25. 😭 crying 😭. Play it on your violin 🎻!

26. Oh the sweet irony & joy of a Yankees homer complaining about another team spending more & being better. Love it 🥰

27. Suffer Rich, Suffer 😂

28. For all of the competitive balance crybabies- all but 10 teams in the MLB spend less than 50% of revenue on player salaries. Cheap owners are laughing their way to the bank while you fans carry their water for them. At the end of the day, the MLB needs a salary floor as much as they need a a cap.

29. I don’t care about New York they were doing the same thing in the 90’s early 2000’s

30. Get this man some cheese!

31. The Cubs are the real losers. They traded away a prospect for Tucker’s half year of service. Had they gone all-in with Bregman last year, they could still have their prospect.

32. They always forget to mention that the ratings have never been better lol

33. This is the Dodgers 2017 revenge tour. Baseball let the Astros keep the trophy didn't earn. Also payback for all the 2020 Mickey Mouse talk.

34. The Yankees were never as obnoxious as the Dodgers have become.

35. Dodgers are loving life because, regardless of whether the new CBA institutes salary cap or not, they still win. If things stay the course, Dodgers will continue to spend and rake in revenue and win. If salary cap does get instituted, Dodgers will continue to rake in revenue without having to spend as much and be even more profitable than they already are, AND they'll continue to win because they are still the best-run organization in the entire sport, and salary cap is not going to hold them back.

36. Out of all the fan bases, yankee fans should not be saying a word

37. Fans ultimately want to see their favorite teams reach the playoffs. Across sports, postseason fields have expanded: the 2026 World Cup will grow from 32 to 48 nations; the NBA increased its playoff field from 16 to 20 teams; the NFL expanded from 12 to 14; the NHL remains at 16; the College Football Playoff is moving beyond its current 12-team format to possibly 20 to 24 teams; and the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament sits at 68 teams. Major League Baseball, however, remains stuck at a 12‑team playoff structure despite a long 162‑game regular season. Expanding to 16 teams would give small‑market clubs a legitimate chance to play meaningful baseball deep into September and into October. With a broader field, a team like the Pittsburgh Pirates—especially with a superstar like Paul Skenes—could realistically sneak into the postseason every year and make some noise. Many baseball fans are frustrated because their local small‑market teams rarely reach the playoffs, which fuels resentment toward big‑spending, big‑market teams. Expanding the playoff field would help rebalance that dynamic and keep more fan bases engaged throughout the season.

    Wild Card Round 1: 3 games. 5 vs 8 and 6 vs 7. Assuming higher seeds win.

    Wild Card Round 2: 3 games. 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5. Assuming higher seeds win.

    Division Series: 7 games. 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. Assuming higher seeds win.

    League Championship Series: 7 games. 1 vs 2. Assuming higher seeds win.

    World Series: 7-games. 1 vs 1.

    The Wild Card teams have to really earn it to win the World Series.
