I hope this sport isn’t headed for some monopoly dark ages.
Fuck the dodgers.
This deferred money thing is bullshit.
Dodgers are ruining baseball
They have the power of anime on their side
People are all about capitalism until their fav team is losing 😂
Everyone get in here r/mlb is having a self-pity circlejerk
Delicious.
What about teams like the White Sox?
Baseball is fuckn dumb
If the dodgers sign sasaki when they already have one of the highest payrolls in baseball I’m gonna shoot myself
Should be a cap…shit is ridiculous
I thought about 8 teams were tied for most international money and the Dodgers were not 1 of them.
I know All of Japan will always watch MLB now but it will get (more) stale here quickly. The long term effects of making the game predictable could be significant.
It sure f* is
Where are all the people from last winter saying, “Duuurrrrrrr, doesn’t matter if the Dodgers got Ohtani, Yamamoto, Hernandez and Glasnow, they’re just gonna choke in the playoffs, durrrrrrrrr!”
Asian excellence ?
SALARY CAP NOW
People saying Dodgers are ruining baseball acting like the new playoff format isn’t just a crapshoot anyway
The YouTube channel baseball doesn’t exist has a video that explain it better, Im too lazy to put the link but its a great video
This was supposed to be the Mariners future.
The end result will be the game being boring and predictable. Happy for the kid for getting paid, smart deal he made and all…but this era will not be remembered fondly.
It’s no different than all the years the Yankees had the most payroll and couldn’t win to save their lives.

Baseball needs a real salary cap like the NFL. It’s not anti-dodgers—it’s just pro-competition. Needs a salary floor as well—or some teeth that is you can’t afford to field a team, you sell it.
🙄
LA tax dodgers
The Dodgers having enough money to fuck over everyone else is disgusting. They need a salary cap policy like Formula One has
It makes baseball not fun when they just do this
Sasaki is not only a great pitcher but the Dodgers would corner the market on the Japanese baseball fans from those and other Asian countries. He would probably worth more to them financially than other MLB teams and I would think Sasaki would be thrilled to play with Ohtani and Yamamoto. Plus the Dodgers only have like 10 All-Star pitchers so he would come in handy when 5 of the others are inevitably hurt.
Deferred salary should still count against a salary cap, even if it’s not technically being paid to the player that year. I’ve always hated those type of contracts.
I’m not clear on this, does this international money mean they can offer the biggest sink to Sasaki and there’s nothing anyone can do about it?
… or is it
This is just only the beginning for them.
About to take out them Dominicans lol
This is the end of MLB.
Fuck it make it a 100 year contract deferred.
No salary cap.
Ohtani has a dad bod
Something tells me that the dodgers are gonna be the most hated team in mlb.
Making baseball boring as fuck not gonna lie.
Most of the owners are billionaires….there’s no poor franchises just cheap owners.
Okay this is partially true but also not, the Dodgers have the most money remaining in this year’s IFA class. While Sasaki has been announced that hes being posted, it’s not clear when he’ll be officially posted. If he’s posted officially after 12/1 he counts towards next year’s pool where the Dodgers are at the bottom money-wise, and even if they find a team willing to trade them the maximum (60% of the acquiring teams pool, they can only get around 8m to offer him. That sounds like a lot but it isn’t. The Dodgers have 5m in pool, 60% would allow them to offer 8m of they find a team in a trade. But the teams with the most money already have 7.5.
That all said given he’s not waiting I’m not sure money is the priority.
The Dodgers do not have the most international pool money. They’re actually in the bottom pool for IFA money.
Small Market teams simply don’t have a chance do they?
Yamamoto, ohtani and now probably Sasaki. This is gonna be really fun
