That's why there has to be a cap and a floor in baseball. It's ridiculous that this is the only sport where there are consistent perennial bottom feeders who refuse to spend money gifting the top teams great players for shots in the dark every year without fail. Eventually, Skenes is going to get dealt to one of the top teams and will get paid even more than Skubal - all because the Pirates refuse to spend.

All fans should be pissed that their team doesnt want to win as much as the Dodgers

I'm pissed that there isn't an actual salary cap or floor and that at least five-to-ten teams act like they're the farm system for the actual good teams. Players need to start taking less money, and the owners need to start acting like they give a shit.

They dont need a salary cap or floor for a team other than the Dodgers to make moves

It certainly wouldn't hurt, and that's what's killing baseball.

Baseball just had its highest rating ever.
There wont be a salary cap, because their wont be a salary floor.
That said, small market Baltimore just signed Pete Alonso for 155 mill
Nothing is preventing teams from making moves, only teams who dont want to win are

Little know or talked about fact. The Dodgers ownership group last ranking was the 6th richest in baseball. And only 1 team spends like them in the Mets but Toronto is close.

And they're likely going to be locked out in 2027 and beyond because the players won't agree to a cap and the owners won't agree to a floor.

The first lockout nearly killed everyone's interest in baseball. Another one would destroy it for good.

Not sure what you are crying about?
Right now, its business as usual. If your team doesnt want to compete to make a more formidable roster, that's on your team's owner/management
The Dodgers are in it to win it, and all I see are whiny fans displacing their anger at their own favorite team for not making moves towards teams who are trying to win and are making moves

I'm not crying about shit. I'm warning that baseball will be locked out because of shit like this. Without a salary cap and floor, there are only the limited amount of perennial haves (five or six teams) and a whole hell of a lot of have-nots, which is total bullshit and boring for everyone other than those five or six teams. Might as well just fold the whole fucking league to twelve (or maybe sixteen, at best) teams if that's the case; there's not a single reason to watch if you know your team is going to never win in your lifetime, as the rich continue to get richer off of your teams' superstars.

That will kill baseball for good, especially since the owners don't want a cap floor (which would force them to not be fucking cheapskates) and the player don't want a salary cap (so they can continue to get multi-millions in contracts while screwing over the other players).

So, yeah, fuck that. You can't blame other fans for being pissed at the whole thing; calling it"whining, crying, and sour grapes" is the shittiest excuse you can possibly make for the state of baseball being "business as usual". This sport's health is crying out for shit like this not to happen, and yet it's happening in front of our eyes. That's why I'm pissed. Not because I want my team to spend, but because shit like this plus an eventual lockout because of shit like this will kill what little popularity baseball has left.

Implementing a salary cap and a floor is what baseball needs to avoid dying because of that. Football has it, and it's little wonder why football took baseball's place as the most popular sport; you want to cheer for parity. Baseball, right now, has nothing of the sort.

Yes, you are. This post was about Skubal, and the Dodgers putting together a package for him. Any team can pursue him, if your team isnt and doesnt, thats on them
You want to whine about a lockout that may or may not happen in a year from now, start a thread about it
As for the Dodgers, nice haul so far. And what people leave out is how great of a farm system they've developed in order to make some of thee trades, acquisitions
