1. Bichete to Mets.

2. Here Comes the Great Lockout of 2027!!!!

3. The entire MLB should just sign with the Dodgers, that way everyone can just get rich and they can play with themselves

4. I love being a dodgers fan

5. Zyhir Hope could have his break-out this year. That's an outfield for the ages. Tarik Skubal is the final piece of the puzzle.

6. Honestly I can see Tucker opting out after year 2 to sign a longer term deal. So this might be a 2 year deal.

7. $240 million to play Baseball for 4 years is crazy 😅

8. He making more money than soto and soto numbers are better. No one is going to point that out? P diddy need those lawyers

9. Dodgers fans acting like there gonna look up from there phones for tuck, lol franchise

10. Why? Just why? I thought Kyle Tucker would be loyal to the Astros and pick the Blue Jays or Mets. But instead he allowed the Dodgers to get another free agent? I wish other teams would spend this kind of money. Oh well we all know that tbe Dodgers are the Dodgers.
    Astrosforever❤

11. Dodgers need to sign Skubal and get Bo now. It'll be a 3-peat for sure.

12. Delete this

13. He is NOT worth 60 million a year.

14. “A three way fist off” …. The WHAT now?

15. The Mets got Bo Bichette so they're happy, I guess…

16. The Dodgers are just a great franchise, their playing chess while other teams are playing checkers, they make smarter deals and sign the right players, the Mets tried to buy a title last year with the highest payroll and could'nt even make the playoffs.

17. A great day except the bots, haters gotta stop crying, there's no crying in baseball

18. Welcome to blue heaven Klye 💙 but they are saying the Dodgers are ruining baseball, actually they saving baseball, the Dodgers get the highest ratings (the last two World Series got higher ratings than the NBA finals) and every game and road stadiums are being sold out, and the Dodgers contribute to other cities economy more then any team in baseball.

19. It’s all good for American “sports” entertainment, and MLB needs a bad guy for fans to root against.

    And what’s more American than the rich getting richer, and with increasingly bigger advantages?

20. Bob Ferguson catching strays on this video

21. Every team better wake up and just playing the hardest against dodgers.

22. “Shaking their fists at the wallet of the Dodgers”. That’s funny.

    As if many other organizations couldn’t have made the same deal. Some others did try, but Tucker chose the Dodgers.

    I’d love to see the MLB institute a salary cap — which only helps the owners and hurts the player’s earning potential and number of potential suitors — so they can then shake their fists at the Dodgers for signing all sort of impactful players at huge discounts.

    Because that is what happens in the NBA and NFL. Under that system, most teams are strapped by the cap and limited in what they can offer free agents. Usually only a handful of perennial losing franchises have significant $$$ under the cap to offer to star players. So what ends up happening frequently is players tired of losing agreeing to discounted contracts with title contending teams. That, or their agent forces their way to the situation the player wants.

    A salary cap never prevented the Patriots from acquiring players seeking titles. They were a dynasty for 20 years, landing the likes of Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Rodney Harrison, Darrelle Revis, and countless others — usually at discounted trades/prices.

    A salary cap has never stopped the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Bulls, Warriors or any other dynasty champion from acquiring the players they want/need to win more titles.

    Players are always going to navigate their way toward the winning organizations. The difference is, they can make more in doing so w/o salary cap. With a salary cap, the same movement occurs, the players just have to accept less to do it. Because there is usually only a small handful of teams able to throw big dollars at them due to the salary cap rules. And often there’s not enough cap room to go around so players opt to sign for less than market value with a contending team.

    In baseball, ALL teams have billionaire owners and the opportunity to throw $$$ in the direction of any player(s) they covet. Many of them choose not to. The Dodgers use to be among those franchises. But roughly since 2012, and especially since 2020, they have not been.

    Why this irks so many fans of other franchises escapes me. Rather than hating on the success of others, how about challenging your ownership to invest in their franchise!

23. Dodgers OVERPAID hahah

24. Yall better pray everyone stays healthy

25. The best part about this news is all the whiners coming out to hate on the LA Dodgers for doing something they wish their teams were doing.

26. I'm sick and tired of Ba$eball.

27. There’s no crying in baseball. Go Dodgers. Took a while but they finally the big dogs in the MLB. When you on top, haters goin always hate. It’s just apart of the game.

28. Must feel good to get paid that kind of money without having the pressure to carry the team. Smart decision by Tucker.

29. If what the Dodgers did, is bad for baseball then how come there are millions of new fans like myself start following baseball? Go Dodgers!!

30. a lockout is very much needed. no guaranteed contracts. salary cap and only signing bonuses.

31. The rich is getting richer and a Republican is sitting in the white house; What else do you expect?

32. no mention of Bo Bichette to Mets. Guess no one had an idea.

33. 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.

34. Joining something established offers stability and a more obvious/quick path to success.

    I get it.. it’s just boring to me this Dodgers story. Stepping into a finished machine… meh 🫤
    Americans and their dynasty talk falls flat every time.

    I respect the guys who take the risk and help build something new. It feels like a different kind of achievement.

    Anyone can add their name to a winner, but helping an underdog or an up and coming team rise is how you really make history. Tucker made a mistake here.

35. Love them or hate them, the Dodgers draw viewers. Not only in the US but abroad as well. For anyone who says baseball is dying, you obviously haven't look at recent revenue and viewership numbers. People harp about "parity" but do you really want a league without a few great teams and some terrible teams. Total parity doesn't draw viewership. No chance for upsets, no rooting for the underdog. How many viewers watched the 2023 WS with the Diamondbacks and Rangers? If you love the Dodgers you watch to see them win, if you hate the Dodgers, you watch to see them lose. Either way you watch.

37. Cmon spring training 🏆🏆👀🏆

38. Not our money. Don't care as a fan. Love having good players and Michael Conforto was awful and Tucker gives us a pretty good outfield. Cant wait for opening day. Go Dodgers!!

39. Baseball will self destruct if they don’t get a salary cap. Who wants to root for a team that can have any player they want because of absolutely unlimited money?

40. Dodgers fans all fawning over Tucker like they're going to get the same kind of reciprocated response. Trust me he doesn't care about your happiness. He didn't with the Cubs fans either.

41. Saca L.A. Bolsita!!!

42. Can’t wait to go back to Dodger Stadium 💙💙

43. Boycott baseball.

44. Go Dodgers 💙🤍
