The Dodgers just signed the biggest free agent, Kyle Tucker.

This is clearly a move to appease their long suffering fans; what's it been, 3 months since their last WS title?
What a farce.
Sign Bichette too and make a complete and utter mockery of MLB.

There is 1000% going to be a lockout for the 2027 season, the owners will not sign off on any future CBA without a salary cap, a hard cap, not the phony baloney BS one there is now.
Again, a complete joke is what MLB is.

Once again, the Babylon Bee nails it...........
U.S. — To improve efficiency with their time management, sports journalists covering Major League Baseball announced that they would now only report on any free agents the Los Angeles Dodgers do not sign to their team.
A new industry mandate from ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and other major publications encouraged their sports writers to stop reporting on players signed by the Dodgers because the team, with its enormous budget, was signing pretty much everyone and consuming everyone's time as they attempted to keep up with the news.
"It'll save us a ton of time," said sports columnist Mike Shaman. "We can't keep up with all the roster changes the Dodgers are making. They are signing and acquiring so many players, they've already spent more than the entire national debt. Every time we finish reporting a story about them signing one player, we find out they've signed another one."
Journalists were expected to report on other teams as normal because the number of players they were signing paled in comparison to the Dodgers, who sign so many players that if each one were written about in detail, not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
"It would actually be dangerous if everyone knew about every player signing the Dodgers made," Shaman explained. "Not only would reporters not have time for anything else, but the economy would collapse from everyone having to take the time to keep up with the news. It would be anarchy."
At publishing time, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred had gone ahead and preemptively called the 2026 World Series for the Dodgers to save time.

i had hoped that the Giants would trade for Perslta but I don’t think they were willing to trade any high level prospects.

Mets could do it because they have built a top farm system and there are more high quality prospects to replace those they traded.

Last year George pointed out that the Red Sox seemed to be happy not spending money as they continually sold out their home games and beyond.
I feel like the Giants are now doing the same thing.
The Sacramento A’s have outspent them this off-season yet they still have an advantage of 20 times the cable revenue and tickets sales of their “local” rival.
Why spend when you are making a massive profit?
