Yanks can’t afford a 600 mill payroll, they barely cleared 700 mill last year, no smart business spends 100% of what they make, that is not a profitable business model. Yanks aren’t the dodgers or owned by a hedge fund 😂
Bernie!
That's fine with the Dodgers! I'm pissed but fair enough. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the Yankees do it I don't want to hear "Oh they buy their championships" like I always have to hear, while the Dodgers are applauded.
I remember when King George owned the team, we used to hear that all the time with the dynasties of the 70s and 90s.
I'm not at all sold on free agent deadlines, but if they happened I'd like to see a dead period, say from the end of the WS to Dec 31, then open it up from there on. Of course you open yourself up to collusion and under the table deals, but at least it would make it a sprint and not a marathon
Bro Brian the dodgers are gonna be the biggest reason for the lockout it’s not jealousy 💀
I miss George
I dont understand a free agency deadline, why is it needed other than for content creators? Why should fans care, let players get to meet as many teams as possible. Also, we have had decades of Yankees buying players, it really doesnt work well for them, one ring in the last 25 years, let the Yankees build a team through drafting and development, Sherman says Yanks are just as could as other teams at developing.
There is a player draft because baseball wanted to stop the yankees from getting all the best players. There will be a lockout to get a salary cap to stop the dodgers from getting all the best players snd eventually there will be an international draft to prevent them from getting every top player from Japan. In both these cases it will be 29 owners vs 1 owner. Hal will fight for the salary cap as much to stop the player salary escalation as Dodger player domination.
Brian you need to calm down man. Maybe even blink.
Dodgers are doing all of this legally…… they’ll be getting Skubal next….. I have little interest in the upcoming season
Kyle Tucker is being overpaid. I'm fine with the Dodgers suing their money instead of the Yankees. As for any player who can't honor their contract is as much an a-hole as an owner who doesn't honor a contract.
George was the best Hal is an asshole
My hatred for the Dodgers go way back to the 60”s. Yankees and Dodgers World Series. I was born in 1954 so I guess I somehow picked up on the Yankees vs Dodgers. Plus the Dodgers seem like a sure thing to win every year. What makes me mad is that the Yankees don’t go after players the right way.
The idiocy in this thread is off the charts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He turned down $50m a year because he didn’t want to play in NY. You can’t he this dumb.
Unsubscribed no thanks for union propaganda
They not like us
Kyle Tucker was never an answer for The Yankees.
Judge could probably get a 5 year $350M deal at 34 if he was able to opt out.
Players will never agree to a deadline for free agency cuz they’ll lose leverage. The reason why Beckett and Tucker got an overpay is because they held out. No chance, players will give up that luxury
Grisham better have that breakout season again for what he’s getting.
"They were in the world series a few years ago" and who did they beat to get there? Sub-par teams. Y'all have to stop giving them excuses and open your eyes. They're wasting Judge's prime years. Cole, also, isn't getting any younger.
The Dodgers are great for baseball and here’s why. In the 1960s Cassius clay was talking smack and the haters purchased tickets just to see if someone could shut his big mouth. Well, now the Dodgers haters will be filling ballpark nationwide just to see if the Dodgers are as good as they seem to be and to see if anyone can upset them.go dodger blue.
Baseball is broken and the only losers are the fans who foot the bill for these absurd salaries!!
Dodgers lucked out with ohtani deferral. That enabled them to give out these contracts. Even Tucker deferred some of his money.
You Guys Are Great "Go Yankees"!!!!!!
In past podcast I think the two of you are way to negative on Volpe. It seems you are always beating him up. Go easy!
The only people this is good for are the Dodgers. No they are not doing anything against the rules. But that doesn’t mean things doesn’t need to be fixed. And just because someone else over pays don’t mean u should. But it sure can affect the market for everyone else
