The Mickey Mouse ring jokes never made a lick of sense. A Mickey Mouse ring was the joke made for the bubble ring, and thats where it should have ended. Because that one made sense.all those Mickey Mouse ring jokes

The team that signs Tucker after the 4 years of really solid production is going to hate themselves.
Good for the Dodgers. All owners should operate the way the Dodgers do to some extent.
Insane numbers though for a player like him.

I get the frustration with them being able to spend $ that 90% of the league can't, but would folks then be rooting for billionaires to just keep all that profit? I'm really not against a salary cap at all, but adopt a salary floor immediately then.
Otherwise, it's billionaires fake crying broke, which is why I think a lockout won't actually happen, or will be resolved rather quickly. Look at all those AL/NL Central teams up there not spending because they're not pressured to, with the rest of their division upholding status quo. Real broke owners would sell.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a salary cap under the condition there’s a salary floor. But they need take away revenue sharing and take away compensation picks, and extensive team control of young players.
I’m expecting some type of lockout out next year. But the dodgers are ruining baseball crowd are going to be in for a rude awakening when owner vs owner infighting is an unexpected result. Because I don’t think Mark Walter and Steve Cohen want the same things that billionaire broke boys like the Pirates and Reds owners want.

salary cap gonna make those cheap owners look like chumps, as if they can't match those same artificially capped max salaries. especially if you have rules like Bird rights in the NBA

they’ll have new excuses if that day ever came. MLB has a crappy ownership, poorly ran teams problem much more than they have a salary cap problem. A salary cap isn’t going to make the Reds and Pirates suddenly be contenders.
There’s teams like the Jets, Browns, Pelicans, Wizards, Blue Jackets and Sabres in the other professional sports leagues who suck damn near every year despite those leagues having a salary cap.
My main beef with the salary cap stuff though is the fact that I don’t feel like these teams should be rewarded and I don’t think they should have the playing field leveled when they’ve done nothing to make a compelling case as to why that should happen. If teams like the Pirates were putting forth a serious effort to field a decent team and it just wasn’t happening, I would be much more sympathetic. But they’re doing the bare minimum while pocketing the revenue sharing money. They shouldn’t be rewarded for doing the bare minimum by having the playing field leveled.

Revenue sharing is the reason teams continue to not spend and field ****** teams. They’re still raking in millions and doesn’t even matter if you’re competitive
It’s like participation trophies for everybody but with money

I don’t have a problem with the dodgers. If you’re an mlb owner and you’re crying broke, sell your team or hire baseball people that know what they’re doing.

It sucks for Dodger fans because you can expect ticket prices to rise even more. 30.00 for a dodger dog gonna be a bigger flex.

Well, if those were true, the Mets tried their best. Tucker just wanted the Dodgers. No pressure. Easiest path to win the WS plus he still gets the same amount of money

I want Bellinger more than Tucker. I doubt the Mets will get him either. Doyers should sign Bellinger for the **** of it. $500 mill, 10 years, 60 years deferred should do it.

low key I think some of these small market owners who want a salary cap need to really be careful what they wish for. I don’t think they’re prepared to operate how small market NBA and NFL teams move when it comes to paying their superstar players in a salary cap league.
Small market Green Bay is Jordan Love $55 million annually. Small market OKC is paying Shai just over $70 million annually. There’s no excuse for the Pirates to not offer whatever the MLB equivalent of a super max contract would be anymore if they ever did implement a salary cap

Cap + Salary Floor seems reasonable. Don't make the gap huge either.

The Yankees had to walk before the Dodgers learned to run. The Evil Empire now takes residency in Chavez Ravine.
