fans unhappy with reports about Dodgers’ pursuit of Roki Sasaki 👀
38 comments
People out here acting like the Dodgers invented buying championships.
Have these people never watched baseball, like ever?
It’s been known Sasaki was gonna be a Dodger for a year
Every single team is going to try to get him because this isn’t a bidding war. He’s not gonna get paid much. So he gets to choose where he goes. If he picks the Dodgers, how is this the Dodgers fault LOL? If he doesn’t pick the Dodgers, that’s fine too. I’d be pissed and jealous too of the Dodgers… so let’s just call it what it is.
this would make this sport objectively less fun. you can be a yankees fan and say that. you can be a fan of any other high spending team and say that. dodgers fans acting like yankees fans don’t get to talk when they are buying more talent then the 90s yankees is just dumb. this would be bad for the sport. period.
it’s not jealousy for a lot of people, more like annoyance that this dodgers team is like the dynasty warriors and that this league has so little parity. and yet all dodgers fans say is that we’re jealous. no. we’re annoyed that this league has little parity. it’s not this addition alone. it’s all the other stars they can get on deferred contracts.
One team getting all the best players is boring. I think it’s common sense, not sure why this is a controversial statement.

watch some baseball come on
Everyone knows he is a dodger. There are other good pitchers out there. Blame your cheap ownership
ë‹¤ě €ěŠ¤ 엿먹어
it’s definitely annoying, don’t get me wrong but it doesn’t make baseball terrible. like yeah I hate that everyone from the NPB is going to the dodgers but god damn people really can’t take it??
Oh honey, it already is.
MLB doesn’t deserve the Dodgers.
I hope that only the Dodgers bother to bid.
The post title and the tweet do not match…
Congrats. The Dodgers are now the late 90s Yankees.
A big market team with a top payroll wins the championship and all of a sudden they “ruined baseball” and “bought a championship” I hate baseball fans sometimes.
His salary won’t be high, all 30 teams can afford him, he gets to choose where he goes. If it happens to be the dodgers, oh well.
If you want Roki maybe do something that helps your team be competitive enough to be able to sign big players like him. Y’all act like the Dodgers have been winning WS for decades straight.
Dodgers don’t buy championships. They buy their way into the October crapshoot every year and sometimes they win a championship.
Dodgers trying to be the golden state warriors. Dodge the luxury tax, stack their team with all stars. It ruins baseball. I have a feeling they’ll win 3 of the next 5 world series ho hum
it isn’t just one thing that’s making other fans annoyed. It’s all the other stars the Dodgers are able to buy which is why roki is probably gonna go to them. while this signing is not directly related to the money the Dodgers are able to spend, it is still related because the stars he wants to go to the team with to join are on the team because of deferred money. Dodgers fans acting like this team isn’t buying stars is so funny to me because they bash the 90s Yankees who were far less bought. Like I don’t have a as big a problem with the dodgers being bought, as much as with the fact that the Dodgers fans wanna act all morally superior..
I mean, it’s not very fun for one team to have all of the incredible players. All the power to the Dodgers, they have the money and they get talent. But it makes the league less competitive. Obviously, I am biased because I am a Guardians fan and we never spend to get the superstars. I think the statement still stands though
Blaming the wealthy teams for spending money but not the cheap teams for being cheap despite billionaires owing them, and benefiting from systemic tax breaks, and the luxury tax, all at the same time, is peak misdirected American class anger
I’m almost certain the only reason he’s trying to get posted is to play with his national team teammates. Why give up the $100M+ FA you have coming in a couple years to sign a minor league deal with *checks notes* the Mariners?
And I say that as a Mariners fan.
We’re all small market teams now.
Who’s the Dodgers best homegrown player? Their best hitters are Shohei, Mookie, Freddie, Teoscar. Then they want to add Soto. I’m still surprised they didn’t resign Seager for whatever he wanted, or Turner.
A bit of sour grapes, but I can relate. The Warriors run effectively caused me to lose my passion for basketball because my teams never had a chance against them. I mean good for them, but it started looking like a foregone conclusion every year Golden State was going to decimate my team and win another championship, and over time I got less and less hopeful and tapped out.
As a Dodger fan, it’s interesting to be sitting on the other side. I think it’s why I don’t get loud or obnoxious about it, but quietly pleased and cross my fingers it sustains. I was much louder and more obnoxious during the McCourt years when shit was terrible lol
As a Padres fan it’s painful to say this, but he’s a Dodger until he signs otherwise.
At this point, I don’t give a fuck if other fans are salty about the Dodgers. Continue to seethe.
He can come to the Mets…. 🥲
In other news, fans are unhappy with reports about the Chiefs having Patrick Mahomes.
Going to the Dodgers and MLB it’s strictly business
Question from a casual fan
When a new player is entering the league, why isn’t he subjected to the draft?
Is he really saying that as a New England sports fan?
I wonder what he said when Celtics traded for KG and Ray Allen.
The rest of Major League Baseball teams just need more money so they can spend for these players!
Haha sadge
They’ll pay Soto $1, defer a billion and sign 4 more of these guys why not?
