Lol well no shitting my pants. The Jays just look dumber and dumber after that trade today. I knew it was a 1 percent shot.

But the Dodgers are basically team Japan at this point. Every top Japanese player is going to LA now and for at least the next 5 years.

Ohtani is basically the GM now

Baseball is really starting to suck. Dodgers are paying fringe roster players more than starters on most teams

Even the Yankees said screw it recently… The Mets and Dodgers payrolls combined may be more than most of mlb. It’s insane. Don’t just look at 2025 payroll, you gotta look at the billion of deferred money and then any baseball fan with a brain agrees

Exactly. It’s nuts. I never cared for a salary cap in baseball. But I’m more open to it now

Also why Tigers fans complaining about not spending money need to open their eyes.

My Jays are throwing massive offers at everyone, and no one will take it.

Draft well, develop players and don’t play that Dodger and Mets game unless your owner is the richest guy in the land.

I’ve always thought of Toronto as more of a David Wells kind of town anyway. Maybe David Wells has a son?

While Austin Wells kind of looks like a gen Z David Wells, despite both being Yankees they aren’t related

Agreed, Again ur still supporting it bud… I agree it’s funny. But these teams are making the Tigers and Jays leadership look like fools.

The Tigers are cheap with Chris Illitch at the helm, his old man Mike was a big spender. They’re going to be cheap from now on, it is what it is. It’s the opposite of Michigan that started throwing around NIL money and used to be cheap. But I’m sure the young Japanese guy was always signing in California. That’s just the way it is.

So when does the MLB insert a salary cap?

For most fans, this is just becoming stupid

Dodgers Starting rotation

  1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto guaranteed 325 mill
  2. Tyler Glasnow guaranteed 137 mill
  3. Blake Snell guaranteed 182 mill
  4. Shohei Ohtaniguaranteed 700 mill
  5. Roki Sasaki guaranteed 8 mill (Ohtani is buying the sushi and wagyu beef for him before he gets 400 mill in a few years)

That is insane.
