1. New York Yankees:
   The Evil Empire…
   Los Angeles Dodgers:
   The New Empire…

2. Tarik Skubal will be a Dodger after the All-Star break, by the end of July.

3. These haters cry now but just wait until the Dodgers offer Tarik Skubal his actual worth

4. The Dodgers were two outs from losing the World Series. However, remember, the Dodgers went 9-1 in the NL Playoffs. It's going to take an AL team to beat them.

5. Too bad..so..sad.. Go Dodgers

6. If you want to watch excellence in professional sports like this year's World Series then let the best front offices create the best teams. If you want indistinguishable mediocrity like this year's NFL season then agree a salary cap.

7. If they can’t afford to spend money then sell the team to someone who can. Simple

8. Multiple owners had the opportunity to do something similar

9. Wait till they get Skubal. I can’t wait lol.

10. Dodgers buy their championships, other teams earn it the right way. That's why Dodger fans always insecure about it.

11. In the social media age, having a World Series championship is an imperative for legacy; Skubal is ringless. He’s signing with the Dodgers

12. I don't believe they'll win this year I don't see it their bullpen with the exception of diaz is not that good if you get those starters out of the game you can beat them the blue jays expose them

13. Tucker is an average that amount of money doesn’t justify the player Bo bichette is a better player

14. L.A. cleared 87 million off the payroll from Kershaw, Yates, Conforto, and CT3. They hate us cuz they ain't us. Enjoying everyone crying. GO DODGERS!

15. Why this old head still has a show with his hating ass is crazy

16. If spending money doesn't guarantee anything then why are you all crying? Everyone else can suck it if you aint one of us. You looked the other way when the astros cheated us a championship in 2017. Everyone bitched about the covid season championship the Dodgers won and belittle it. Now, our ownership threw down a reckoning and all of you who ain't with the Dodger Blue created it.
    REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
    Boys of Summer '26 bringing it back to back to back.

17. Mets spend like crazy and they haven't won a title since 1986 lmao 😅

18. What is wrong with Tucker's neck?

19. Only bottom feeders complain about spending.

20. Kershaw and conforto 23 mil came off buddy

21. The Dodgers figured out how to pay Shohei a little bit now and to heck with the future landslide he's owed. Don't worry, they'll figure out how to pay Skubal.

22. I bet people go out and buy Kyle Tucker jerseys now!

23. Don’t hate the player hate the game! The Dodgers are playing within the rules so if people want to blame somebody blame MLB for not having a hard salary cap

24. All this what if and would’ve could’ve should’ve the bottom line is it didn’t work out because now they’re sitting at that as back-to-back champs so what are we really talking about here we could say all day they were close to not winning but ultimately they did win, so who’s to say the payroll didn’t work I just don’t care they printing money

25. Don’t nobody care about what how Stein burner is saying because I bet if the Yankees had won with their payroll, he wouldn’t be complaining at all

26. I thought when Chris left the show would fall off but Kelvin is doing a great job I still like the show

27. Guggenheim Partners own 345 billion dollars in combined assets. There is no way MLB owners can compete with that amount of money. Atsuhito Sakai works for Guggenheim and is based in Japan…seems interesting that there is a connection with him in Japan. Guggenheim also gets its money from "advising" debt repurchases…fun fact: "In January 2025, Guggenheim advised Major League Baseball (MLB) in its $9 billion debt restructuring deal in connection with Main Street Sports Group [linked with FanDuel, which is tied in with sports betting]." -credit Wikipedia.

    seems interesting Shohei Ohtani dodged a bullet with a betting scandal…Guggenheim has helped MLB with a 9 billion dollar debt with Main Street Sports (which operates FanDuel sports betting)…also with Guggenheims links to Japan…

    "DraftKings is ‘well positioned’ to take significant market share in North America, Guggenheim said."

    Draft Kings is plastered all over sports, which includes baseball. With Main Street Sports Group flopping and Shohei Ohtani dodging a bullet from sports gambling. MLB looks shifty in coming down on two players in CLE to take the heat off of some other entity. I am sure with Guggenheim's links to Japan's baseball market via its investment bank(s) in Japan; and their ability to "advise", sports betting companies, as well as the MLB…sounds like Guggenheim is a shady company. I cant prove anything with these links, as I do not have access to their books.

    Interesting the etymology of the word deferment. Defer is related to the word Suspend. c. 1300, suspenden, "bar or exclude temporarily from some function or privilege;" also "set aside (a law, etc.)". Seems like the Dodgers are being given a pass or excluded from the rest of the league.

    More etymology on Dodge:
    
    Transitive sense of "to evade (something) by a sudden shift of place" is by 1670s. It is attested from 1570s, and common from early 18c., in the figurative sense of "to swindle, to play shifting tricks (with)."

    Dodgy: "evasive, artful, cunning," 1855, from dodge (n.) + -y (2). Hence, "unreliable, potentially dangerous." Related: Dodgily; dodginess.
    
    Shifty: The meaning "habitually using dishonest methods, characterized by trickery, not straightforward" is by 1837.

    I hate how I cant prove anything; but something about all of this stinks.

28. This is why the NFL is king. And I am a major NHL, the least popular of the 4 major US sports.

    MLB doesn't realize how much of a turn off this is. Even as a Philly fan I hope LA wins for the next 5 years if only to show how this is ruining baseball and also to put the NYY and NYM fans into trauma.

29. K bro we believe about the guy that worked at the super market 😂

30. Skubal at the deadline
