It shows the need for a cap.

Mets fans are killing the owner today but he offered 50 MM which is also absurd.

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.
 
The Mets swooped in and grabbed Bichette from the Phillies. Can't blame Bichette, 14 million more a year but you can be sure that the Philly fans will give him a warm welcome when the Mets come to town.

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?
 
I wish the Phillies had kept Bader but it was not to be. Pete Rose type of leader. Phillies released Nick Castellanos,20 million down the tube :eek: I didn't realize that he has quite an attitude until last year but I wish him well.

The Phillies pitching staff could be real good this year but if Wheeler and Nola aren't up to par they could be in trouble. They are depending on rookie Andrew Painter to come through but he was operated on a couple of years ago and hasn't really shown that anything since then showing that he can be a major league pitcher.

I’ll preface this by saying that I like Bryce Harper.

With that being said his stance about liking the Dodger’s spending spree is beyond self-serving, laughable and uninformed.

Among other things he said that people forget that LA’s success is not just about outspending everyone, he said that it is also due to its player development program and farm system.

The problem with that defense is the fact that LA spends more on its farm system and scouting than any other MLB team.

The Phillies used to, back when Dallas Green was still alive and was the director of player development. Between him and Ed Wade, they developed the talent that made up the rosters in the 2000s. We got to see most of those players when they were at Double-A Reading.

Prost!
