Doyers run this bitch
doyers
>>152993009
>>152993009The dodgers should sign Ryback
Kyle Tucker isn't going to be on the Jays and neither is Bo.
dodgers won that offseason btw
>>152993035>4 DsWhat like 2 in the ass and 2 in the mouth? That is impressive ngl.
>>152993018that was leaked awhile ago after we found out ICE hangs out at Dodger Stadium
>>152993048
>>152993052You mean Recker.
>>152993018W2c?
just spend more
>>152993062
>>152993061
>be mest>lose out on everyone you want>lose homegrown star and closer>get worse in every single way>offer 40M/YR to Kyle Tucker only to get mogged by my doggies >but cohen got his casino KWAB
>>152993075but my team doesn't have a tv deal and a council of Hollywood elite funding it all
My scrappy underdog mom and pop dodgers
Surely Bellinger will realize that not even the top FA outfielder is worth a long term contract and will sign for 5.
this off-season STINKS
>>152993061>the team who also desperately tried to overpay him and lost posting this now that is a klenkini
>>152993015she's really annoying and her face is busted, I hate that I want to fuck her
People have been crying about the Dodgers Jew conglomerate ownership group being the reason they can spend but the underrated catalyst for the spending is the insane TV deal they got. The Dodgers get about 200 million dollars a year from that deal. The Yankees are in 2nd with around 140-145mil a year while the rest of the top spenders are floating around 100-130ish. The Dodgers have a free 60 million to spend a year over the Yankees and 70-100 million+ over everybody else before you even take into account all other income the team generates. All this coming at the same time the local TV situation has never been more volatile.
All shitposting aside, can Manfred fix this dumb shit? Salaries are out of control, players are massive pussies who don't want to try being the centerpiece anymore, and some owners are robbing their fans. It's a broken system. Baseball is less fun than it's ever been.
Dodgers are 2/2 in the Ohtani era. How much more do they need for this to be a success?
>>1529931215 in 7
>>152993108who is she? What is she known for? I think she has a cute face
>>152993086Anon has a point
>>152993111>>152993113The deal will end eventually and everyone is going to be on streaming and there will be realignment and lol I hope they keep buying all the good AL players and letting my Mariners compete for a pennant.
LEAKED Los Angeles Dodgers City Connect caps 2026.
>>152993113Manfred couldn't fix a burnt out light bulb.
>>152993009That Skubal traded to the Dodgers news is gonna hit like a blackhole.
>>152993148how would you fix a burnt out light bulb tho? replacing seems the only feasible option
>>152993111Great TV deal for a TV town. Even in other cities where you have dedicated and big fanbases, the Big Blue Machine just keeps rolling.
>>152993113NopeHe should have nipped this a long time ago but chose not too.The MLBPA is the strongest PA BY FAR in sports they will not accept a salary cap under any circumstances. This shit is going to be a mess.
>>152993156Exactly, he couldn't do that.
>>152993153they can still do more?
Everyone:>REEEEEEEE! Fuck the dodger! baseball is ruined!Me:>*fap fap fap* Oh yes recker….
>>152993009Realistically I think we're going to see a 2-3 year lockout in 2027, not even memeing or trolling. I think this is the kind of thing we're going to see documentaries made in 20 years about.
>>152993153just cancel the season and give the Dodgers the trophy. It will spare us the humiliation ritual of watching baseball for six months while they go 119-43 and 11-1 in the playoffs.
>>152993188All I know is this ends with Ohtani either dead or behind bars. He’s not a good person dude. We will have justice
>>152993156>he doesn’t build his own bulbs
A month away from spring training
>>152993188By the end of year 1 congress would get involved We might actually be watching the last year of the MLB as it is currently
>>152993204wbc pitchers and catchers report in less than a month
>>152993113salary floor and salary cap(with deferred money counting towards it) are the only way you could fix it, I think enough of the owners want the cap that they'll dig in next year(honestly will be shocked if there's a season at all) but wouldn't hold my breath for the salary floor given how many owners are cheap skates
>>152993196The Phillies and the Jays will have something to say about that
>>152993203im still angry about the slow death of incandescent bulbs
Don't bother locking out. We skipping that shit.
My Philthies will beat the Dodgers
This is /mlb/
>>152993222kek
Imagine the seethe when the Dodgers sign Zac Gallen tomorrow. It’s going to be legendary
thinking about copping this new era cap ahead of the wbc
this is /mlb/
>>152993217Phillies can't even resign their own free agents, the fuck are they going to do?
>>152993188there's not going to be a lockout or strike. The money is too good. The players are way richer and more decadent than they were in 1994. They're not going to miss any paychecks and the owners aren't going to miss out on full stadiums. People are hysterical about this for no real reason.
>>152993234LGM
>>152993222for me it's Jim's South St.
what MLB actually needs is relegation. get these shitter cities out of the majors. consolidate the league with the real teams, allow deserving cities to push their way to the top.
OH
>>152993241People are hysterical you’re right but also you’re retarded the OWNERS are going to lock the PLAYERS out
>>152993222I can see it. That error by Kerkering was just unexplainable. Game 5 in Philly would have been electric.
>>152993260it was for entertainment purposes
>>152993254OH THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN
>>152993253Id rather just ban doyerpacos from attending games because they reek like shit so much so to the point where it’s an environmental hazard. I think their farts are toxic waste because of all the beans they eat kek
>>152993231Kekring will be the one kek-ing when he has a ring next year buddy
TUCK 'EM
>>152993270Ok timmy
remember, I want no tomfoolery, skulduggery, or any other improprieties unbefitting of this genny. this is for serious baseball discussion only.
>>152993222BREAKING: Dodgers, Taryn Hatcher, reportedly agree to 4 year deal per multiple reports including @MLBNetwork insider @WayneKing
>>152993270
dodgeraryans won
KEK FAGGETS
>>152993258no they're not. The owners are not going to cancel the season. Do you remember 2020? They put on that bullshit cash grab of a season just to get some cash flow and worked through all these issues with the MLBPA in terms of playing the players on the fly to get 60 games in empty stadiums and a fake playoffs. Why did they do this, because the money is so good. So if they can do that with no warning and on the fly they can figure out the CBA before it expires.
>>152993207lolno, the NFL is America's sport these days. I doubt congress gives a shit about the MLB.
>>152993290IT CAN'T BE!
>>152993253Just kick the doyers out of the league and the problem is solved. Their fans are violent and their owners are currently in the middle of one of the most Jewish Ponzi schemes in US history. bish bash bosh problem solved
>>152993222Trips CONFIRM this beyond a shadow of a doubt
FAGGets kek
What the fuck does Manfred even do all day? Is he blind to what's happening?
only the Orioles or Sox can have the balls to beat the Dodgers in the 2026 World Series without spending cus the rest of the AL East choked this decade>Rays>Yankees>Blue Jays
>>152993318It’s his cash cow because of Ohtani and Co
>>152993055you guys ever been to bob's big boy
This is a nothing burger>We were seconds away from losing the world seriesThis changes nothing and people are over exaggerating
>>152993318Dodgers being a dynasty is the best thing for business next to the Yankees being a dynasty. 26 world series is a yanks-dodgers rematch and it WILL go 7 games. Cap this, print it out, frame it, and mount it on your wall. It is inevitable.
>>152993334nah it's good. tanner scott to make huge comeback and they'll win games comfortably
i will genuinely kill myself if the dodgers threepeat i hate these bandwagon weeb faggots so much its unreal
Big day mutt DMV workers
>>152993346Livestream it pls
>>152993334This.
>>152993251I've never eaten at either of them because I'm from Northeastern Pennsylvania and I think that cheesesteaks are just alright.
>>152993317What did Cohen mean by this..Like seriously, what DID he mean????
smack jays down again, doggie dooooos
>>152993330not since I was a kid. do they still exist?
>>152993373it meant he gave his final and best offer to Tucker and was waiting to see what his decision was. Mets offer was 60/60/50/50.
>>152993327What a fucking dickhead
My small-ball A’skees will win the offseason by re-signing Paul Blackburn.
>>152993327>>152993392Tuck'em tho
>dodgers weaknesses are outfield and bullpen>they get just thatAMAZING
Mets are gonna win 75 games next year and waste another year of Lindor and Soto in their near-prime/prime.
>>152993381They offered him 60 homers, 60 stolen bases, 50 doubles and $50M and he said no?
>@JonHeyman: Mets final offer to Tucker was $220M over 4 years. 60/60/50/50 Also, there were no deferralsDamn, he really didn't want to be a Met what the fuck. I'm sure they offered him opt-outs too.
Imagine not being a Dodgers fan lmao
>>152993108>hip tattoooh gee. another hot blonde sports girl whos a whore. what a surprise.
we're going to complete a season sweep on the poodres
>>152993421Its as people have been saying, the guy wanted the easiest road. He can easily be lost on the Dodgers and make the same money instead of being a main focus guy on the Mets.
>>152993418Atleast the team gets to bond at cancun
>>152993009if some of their farm actually develops and they don't trade them off, they may be able to navigate a rebuild without bottoming out. freeman's contract ends, will smith to first, rushing to catcher. teo expires the same year and is replaced by one of the 3 outfielders in development. glasnow out, sheehan or ryan plugs into the rotation. and on, and on. it's a dodger's century
>>152993108>>152993130I don't know what to think of her face. I think she's cute too, but in a kind of ugly way if that makes sense.
>>152993108
>>152993418At least they haven’t had a Tyler Skaggs moment. I give them a few years. Maybe it’ll be Baty.
fuck you dogers FGGOTS. once our casino starts printing money we will outbid you on every free agent until the end of time. enjoy it while it lasts you shitfuck apecunts
>>152993418But Cohen got his casino
Unironically think the Dodgers are one big psyop to bring about a salary cap.
>>152993510all the owners are in on it
>he’s thinking about gay anal sexNice self own
>>152993260>That error by Kerkering was just unexplainableThe moment was too big for him, many players experience that and will continue to experience that and make rookie mistakes when facing the Dodgers in future playoffs.
>>152993301>they can figure out the CBA before it expires.anon, are you literally retarded? There's some kind of stoppage literally every time the CBA expires, I don't think there's ever been a smooth negotiation period, hell the last one in 2021 delayed the start of the season and that wasn't even one of the bad ones like in 94 and 81
>>152993241>and the owners aren't going to miss out on full stadiums.Only like 8 teams get full stadiums
>>15299351017' and 18' and some of the other early round losses to division rivals caused a butthurt so immense that it won't heal until we win 3 more in a row
>>152993464If only Tatis Jr can stop worrying about his baby mama and lock tf in. Bro needs to be careful now that Dodgers won back to back world series, they're definitely going to plunk him more. Also Machado needs to fucking retire too, bozo always missing in playoffs swinging at garbage shit.
>>152993535and honestly 94 is probably the most important one to look at here, cause it's the last time MLB wanted to implement a salary cap
>>152993554It’s ok babe. The padres can still make a wildcard appearance. Pls don’t make me sleep on the couch!
>>152993418>>152993486Lindor is going to have his heart explode after doing speedballs all night, just you wait and see.
It’s really cringe when grown adults pretend to be mad about a ball game.
>>152993554It's over.
I don’t care about him signing with the Dodgersbut he’s the HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN BASEBALL?60 MILLION A YEAR?!dudes a great player but cmonmaybe 2 players in the league deserve that money, Judge and Witt
>>152993578Judge and Ohtani*
>>152993554Stop talking like that
Dodgers are bad for baseball only in that they ruin the illusion that players care about anything other than getting absolute top dollar
>>152993578What about ryback?
>>152993590*Recker
>>152993053are you sure the jays don't pivot hard to bo now? they're already stronger than last year's team imo, and bringing back bo solidifies them as al east favorites. (that said, sawx are my early darkhorse for al champs with that staff)
>>152993576Interesting. What are the appropriate things to have an emotional investment in. I’m all ears you poorfag sophomoric nihilist mutt!
>>152993583Ohtani is a infinite yen cheat code until he blows his arm again and becomes the 700 million dollar DH, so he doesn’t count>>152993590PAY MEMORE>>152993596his booty is priceless
>>152993160this is actually beautiful honestly. this is pure american baseball. this is the kind of disparity the sport was built on. long live the capitalist kings
It’s all just bread and circus. We’re talking monkeys on a floating rock hurling through space. Why care about anything…
Who am I?IM THE FUCKING GENNY GOD!
>>152993630this but unironically
You motherfuckers would not want me running MLB man I’ll tell you that much. You would NOT want me in charge. Things would be a liiiiittle different. And that’s putting it lightly
>>152993578"If you're always rational about every free agent, you will finish third on every free agent."
Damn we got the genny sounding suicidal
>Bichette and Bellinger will cost moreWhich team is getting them?
My GOAT really has to take the lowball to keep y’all humble. Now, that’s class!

>jizz chincum jr will get 5yr/500 million from the doyers next offseasongrim
Nobody cares about Bellinger?
Kyle Tuckem is built for Locktober. Let him out of his cage!
Instead of a salary cap, they should add a floor. A high floor. That would get greedy owners to spend money on their poverty franchises
>>152993469this. everyone thought he was going to toronto so he could disappear. guess what: it's easier to disappear on a dodgers team where 5+ players are more popular
is league minimum not already a salary floor?when people ask for a floor aren't they actually just asking to increase the minimum?
I told you the Phillies would get Bo, but all you niggas was busy spamming FAGGets kek!!!
>>152993720Only 9 teams in baseball invest even half of their revenue into payroll. It's a joke.
our sport honestly deserves to get assfucked by the nfl, we're a joke
>>152993720Nah, that would be too obvious for MLB fans to consider. They have to drink the salary cap ONLY koolaid that the owners are giving them.
>>152993732most teams could invest 100% of their revenue into payroll, they still wouldn't come close to what the dodgers are doing.
>>152993749Dodgers only invested 70% last year
>>152993701kekDevil's Batting Order
>>152993617> What are the appropriate things to have an emotional investment inWork, family, religion, your country, art music, nature, science, etc
>>152993696you know it
>>152993701ok stop being retarded. but without bo it's still pretty silly, especially considering mookie will bounce back (we're all expecting him to bounce back, right?)
The real MVP of the dodgers and he doesn't even touches a single baseball.

did the dodgers really sign her?

>mest offered all this to Tucker for him to say lolmest
I am freaking mad f u mitch f u tucker bs man freaking bs little shit fing hell so freaking annoyed mad like wow f u dodgers fu omfg fu god dammit man f so freaking pissed off
>>152993798Not only that he also said>Nah, im going to DEFFER my money insteadLOL
>>152993798if you're a lowkey guy who wants to disappear and play baseball, why the FUCK would you subject yourself to the new york media? they'd have to offer him 70m AAV
I wanna get off drunk on German beer so badly, but I'm on a diet man...... Why German beer gotta be filled with Carbs T3T
When Ohtani retires will he be cemented as one of the GOATs, if not THE GOAT?Be honest
>>152993770Art music? Like Charles Ives?
it's honestly so fucking funny that the dodgers aren't mentioned whatsoever in the tucker sweepstakes outside of "uh, the dodgers are also lurking". 2 fucking months of this and they swoop in at the 11th hour and say "oh, lol, hey we can beat that offer" and everything flips on its head
>>152993827Babe, you can’t drink! Manny Jr is almost due! Just get some ice cream
>>152993832No he drinks gallons of coconut aminos or whatever
>>152993827dont' be gay. get drunk and resume the diet tomorrow.>>152993832longevity goes a long way in establishing goat status, and he will likely not have the longevity. if he hits 500 home runs and actually pitches 10 more years without a significant dropoff.... yes, people will consider him in the conversation.
>>152993841>https://youtu.be/e839R5pRqB0?si=TE9_cVdJvMMNtUyD
>>152993792unfortunately its true...
So what's even the point of watching baseball anymore if you're a Mets fan?
>>152993770>your countrysports are an extension of this
>>152993861>So what's even the point of watching baseball anymoreFTFYthe dodgers ruined baseball for everyone
>>152993861Fuck my boricua ass
im sorry my jays couldnt beat the dodgers when they had the chance. im so sorry.
I like the idea that Kyle Tucker is the player that “broke” baseball He’s good but cmon man
>>152993861Bellinger
>i can't believe no one wants to sign with the mets and have francisco lindor yell at them and be forced to film commercials for uncle steve's casino
What did he mean by this?
>>152993871Everyone who watched knows the dodgers didn’t beat the jays; the jays beat themselves
Why is it impossible for doyerpacos to accept both that 1. Most owners can and should spend more 2. Not every owner can spend like the DodgersIs it some sort of psychological guilt or something? outspending the league and buying championships is like a point of pride for Yankees fans, why aren’t the dodgers like that?
>>152993887We get it steve, you vape
>>152993896What are you talking about? Everyone here knows this
>>152993878what a goddess
>>152993861How can any Mets fans expect to carry on without…Kyle Tucker? Dafuq kek
>>152993896They are just not very smart
>>152993887smoke from >>152993896 this guy's gaping ass
>>152993896Doyerpacos are like Kpop “Stans” in that their fandom involves viewing the dodgers as some like infallible entity. It’s quite odd.
>>152993887BREAKING: SMOKE SPOTTED
>>152993861are you fucking kidding
>>152993896they're just bandwagoners
MLB needs to be run more like the NFL.
I’m still seething at the dodgers
>>152993861At least you got the Jets, Knicks, and Giants, Rangers and stankees....?
skubal is gonna get a 10-year contract worth 440M
>>152993930For me it’s the Billskeesbuckanatriots.
>>152993940with the Dodgers
>>152993557yes and the lesson MLB took from 1994 was "don't do that again" because they lost 5 years of growth when (in hindsight) the sport was basically at its peak. One could argue that the NFL benefitted most from people turning off MLB. Right now MLB is in a pretty good place in terms of popularity and growth - it's probably more popular than NBA even though the (((media))) will never admit it - and they would be retarded to lose time and kill the sport again. They'll play 162 next year.
>https://xcancel.com/MetsIran/status/2011995353432932673#m
A cap would just grandfather in existing contracts and scale down future ones. Dodgers would still dominate and people would find something else to cry about.
Gerrit Cole has more soul than your unc pitcher.
>>152993940Oh yeah duh. I remember getting into an argument with some dumb doyerpaco about skubal getting $400m. I think in his head he took it as I was somehow insulting Yamamoto by suggesting someone could get paid more than him.
>>152993111>200MIt's 300M or 325M IIRC
>>152993930>stankees
Coletrain 2023 CY
>>152993951>it's probably more popular than NBA even though the (((media))) will never admit itSeeing how the media is tearing into NBA over the mafia game fixing scandal they smell blood in the water anyway. And LeBron isn't that interesting anymore
>>152993965the cap wont fix shit, players will still want to go to the most popular / best teams because in that scenario they would still make more money playing for them via sponsors and shit
serious question: why didn't the billionaires who own toronto and the mets simply offer more
Ryan Ward bros... I'm not feeling so hot. I thought my career minor leaguer king was going to get some reps this season. he is being blocked by tucker, teo, edman, and pages now... what's going to happen to him?
>>152994009>YOU and 3 other prospects have been traded for a bullpen arm! Have a nice career!
>>152994009>ward>blocked by 7 guys on the roster>less talented than 5 minor league outfieldersuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>152993720>salary floorAbsolute midwit take. Yes only 9 teams invest even 60% of revenue into roster but Dodgers and Yankees are head and shoulders above the rest of the league. Cubs, Phillies, Giants are tier two. The fact that someone looks at Milwaukee media market and think they can spend on a level close to Dodgers is insulting to everyone's intelligence
>>152993965>>152993997Cap cap cap. That's all that comes out of their mouths. How about a salary FLOORYeah it won't fix everything and the small markets won't catch up to the Doyers but it'll be better than the current situation
>>152994009i think he is out of options, so when they need to clear a spot and DFA him, he can leave then. but no real need for them to do it now.
>>152994023Nobody is saying a raised floor would help everyone match the pacos and jew york. Matching isn't the point here, having the penny pinchers spend more on their team is
nba snuck in a hard cap because the players were literally too retarded to read the contract. mlb simply has to sneak a hard cap past its retarded playerbase. shouldn't be too difficult, just have trump endorse it and most of the players will sign off
>>152994023*50%
I get Tucker is good but he's not 60M/yr good
>>152994032I'm all for players getting a bigger piece of the pie. It means dick all for the top of the FA market (LA, NY, PHI, CHI, BOS, SF) and does nothing to fix the competitive imbalance of having a massive media market and RSN when the rest of the league is having their broadcast deals reneged.
Salary floor? Sounds like communism to me
>>152994041lame that this is the way it is now but since it's our dodgers making the most of it it's easier to live with
>>152994041if he gets the dodgers over the line and they win another world series in 26 or 27, it is worth. will be interesting to see if he opts out for a big contract 2 years from now... imagine it depends on the kind of year he puts up, but it's hard to pass up 60 aav
>cap>floorRemove free agency insteadYou play with the first team that signs you. All players get paid the same standard salary with bonuses for each net positive play they make. Trading is allowed but must be 1 for 1 with no cash or other players involved.
>>152994093lmao
>This moment ended up changing MLB forever.Kino
>>152994093That was NPB a long time ago.
>>152994084He’s definitely not opting out lol, he’s not anywhere near a 60m a year player
Just let the kids play man, I'm at the point of being tired of Prospect/Homegrown hogging "You gotta wait 5 years for him to be ready! Don't rush him or you'll ruin his trade value/confidence!!!!" deplete the farm for a rental all for them be bought out by another team. Can't we just follow NFL draft system?
>>152994054American sports leagues are all commie bullshit. Revenue sharing, international prospects, teams drafting 18 year olds and getting 6 years of their life before they can become “free agents”
i don't think there is any problem at all
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
i'd like to say the dodgers are in fact, NOT ruining baseball
It just takes a couple shitter owners to band together and break the solidarity. Never gonna happen lmao, fuck this ass league
My pet doyerpaco snorts his own shit off my dick after I’m done fucking him in the ass
