1. The arrogance of two guys that constantly get it wrong is comical😂

2. Imagine Vladdy hadn’t signed, what would he be getting in free agency now😂

3. Look if someone wants to play somewhere they play there .simple .f Kyle tucker .toronto is fine

4. Players don't want to be in Toronto long term. It's great for Canadians, but probably creates many headaches as an American citizen. They should swing to short term high AAV contracts. The Vlad take is completely off. Players know contracts will differ from year to year so you cannot compare.

5. Grats on the new sponser… keep up the good work!

6. $350mil10yr is a great deal. Vladdy is the higher ranked player on mlb top 100 (he's 10 vs Tucker at 21). Tucker not worth $60mil.. it's crazy. I like being the underdog team that does just buy them all like Pokemon.. it's just not as fun to watch when you're expected to win.

7. If Jays wanted to get Skubal they definitely can with a package involving Trey Yesavage, Addison Barger, and Jose Berrios (who needs a fresh start and his brother-in-law is Javier Baez), and use that Tucker money to sign Skubal

8. If the Dodgers did no offer Tucker a contract, I’m curious if he would have taken the Mets offer over the Jays’

9. We get the polar vortex pushing down into Alberta usually every year. We had -36-40 for a week a couple years back. I'm from Southestern Ontario before moving to Alberta, and getting much colder than -20 is pretty rare there, so you guys are in for it lol. -27 is pretty common in Alberta.

10. Dave Samson said the Tucker deal is not the reason the owners were upset with the current situation but it was pre-ordained years ago

11. "LA and new york dont wanna play by the rules?" 18:05
    What bullshit rule is that? Tell me where in the MLB rulebook or ANY RULEBOOK
    Stupid take.

12. Haters talk out of jealousy.
    If the company across the street wants to pay their employees a lot of money to increase productivity and to acquire the best people to work for them, then thats their prerogative.
    You're jealous that your company doesn't value you the same as them. That's not the other companies fault. It's the one that you work for.
    You want to punish the successful company because you're jealous and listen to your own billionaire bosses lies about not being able to afford you.
    A minimum wage (floor) would help the supposed poor organization more than stunting the growth (cap) of successful companies.
    Redirect your anger towards the people who want to pocket the profit instead of reinvesting to help succeed.

13. Never count the Rays out.

14. Every team is owned by billionaires every team can defer money this isnt a dodgers exclusive rule. If the owners dont wanna spend money thats not the dodgers fault blame the cubs who had a revenue of 584 million dollars and only spent 36% on players or the marlins who only spent 24% and not the mets who spent 90% of there payrol revenue

15. It was like a Saudi Prince waiting till the end of the auction for a valuable item, and shitting on the rest of the bidders by doubling the current bid just cause fuck it.

16. 78 wins '26 season
