@Drew3werD @DanClarkSports Source? And yes, there should be a limit on deferred contracts. And yes, more revenue sharing. And the Dodgers should not have a special exemption because of their bankruptcy.

@TSmithNotSwift @DanClarkSports An ex president of a team mentioned Manfred asking owners to make comments such as this in order to make it look like they are working towards it. To save face. Only restrictions will be on deferred contracts and more revenue sharing. Tale as old as time

The #Dodgers, on a quest for a three-peat, are 15-4. That's a 128-34 pace. It is an absolute joy to watch this truly phenomenal juggernaut!

@Drew3werD @DanClarkSports I think it is a less logical to think that was Manfred speaking through him than to think those were his own words. A cap and floor would be better for the sport. But even if they don’t have that, much tighter restrictions are needed because everybody can see the problem

@TSmithNotSwift @DanClarkSports Did you not read what I said? I can’t wait to see your reaction when there is no cap.

@Drew3werD @DanClarkSports This was a direct quote from Walter. Even he realizes the unfair advantage and the need for change.

@TSmithNotSwift @DanClarkSports That was Manfred speaking through Walter.

@MLB “Here’s what the problem is: Money helps us win. We can’t win all the time. We’ve got to have some parity. So we’ve got to come up with something that will give us some parity” -Mark Walter (Dodgers Owner/Chairman)

It's shaping up to be another exciting season for the NL West!

The @Dodgers haven’t started a season 15-4 in 49 years 😯

This is why the Dodgers are the best-run franchise in baseball. Andrew Friedman, rather than trading his prospects, keeps them and figures things out later. He kept Dalton Rushing even with Will Smith in the fold, and now Rushing is breaking out.

@BrockS25595 @MLB @Cardinals Guy poured his heart out for the team for 3 years. Played 101% every day. Fans in STL recognize and appreciate that.

@MLB @Cardinals did absolutely nothing btw… not even a single playoff appearance. deadass giving standing ovations for no reason now

Willson Contreras gets a warm ovation from @Cardinals fans in his return to Busch Stadium 👏

@ChrisCoop_ They want us all to worship the Dodgers

I think Dodger fans are living proof that sports fandom might just be a continuous cycle of misery for most people regardless of team performance. This fanbase has: - watched their team win back to back WS in a row, beating rival teams on the path to doing so - continuously own every team the Dodgers are rivals with - always have exciting home grown talent to watch throughout every level of their farm - root for the best player all time - have an owner worth hundreds of billions of dollars that spends endless money on the franchise And still find ways to cry, be miserable, and complain about what other teams are doing on the internet lol. Man, if I watched my team win back to back I'd log tf off the internet for years and not feel an ounce of suffering for a decade minimum😂

@MLBGuyRocked This guy was so fun to watch

Torii Hunter That guy rocked.

@gatewaygrinders @TheAthletic They only care about dodgers

Not having an @TheAthletic writer for the Cardinals is criminal.

@TonyFazio11 @dodgers_burner The one example everyone uses… Because of how shocking it was they missed the playoffs. because spending correlates with winning and everyone knows it

@TSmithNotSwift @dodgers_burner I’m sure the Mets GM would disagree with you.

@TSmithNotSwift What did the Cardinals know that the Nationals didn’t? 🤣🤣🤣

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner If you’d like to make believe that the Dodgers success is because the fans care so much, then go ahead. Fans of small market teams also care. But their owners are not as rich and their cities are not as large. Need parameters to work within

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner What a mean thing to say to someone. The problem is the advantages monetarily that that gives a team. We need a cap and a floor, parameters, to level the playing field. Just like every other sport. It should be about drafting, developing, and trading. Not just a big market

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner Richer owner and bigger market. So, much more money to use for payroll. Take a peek at the 30 team payrolls and you’ll see it. Don’t be disingenuous and say that every team can spend like them because they surely cannot.

@TSmithNotSwift @dodgers_burner The Dodgers play under the same rules as any other team. Not sure what the “advantage” is.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Those are issues and those issues are part of what is creating the disparity. All those have to be addressed. And you should stop the ad hominem arguments. Or just straight up meanness even.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 youre not suggesting a better system moron you hop on here everyday to cry about the dodgers and wanting a cap when the league has bigger issues like revenue sharing and teams not having TV deals. Youre clearly ill intent on your narratives ✌️

Baseball is growing in popularity, so owners want to undercut how much they will give to the players to maximize their profits. Yo, just say you cuck for billionaires, it's that's easy.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Lol point proven by your response. Having a dissenting opinion is not crying. Over 50% of fans are not crying, but suggesting a better system is needed.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 I dont blame them you choose to see things ignorantly and then cry its them not you have a good day

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Nope, but you should see some of the mean spirited replies I get for suggesting the league is imbalanced and needs a cap system just like every other sport. You should see the insults. Certainly would not want my fan base represented that way.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 thank you for proving my point that youre just a hater of the dodgers and los angeles as a whole youre complaints are all in placed in bias reasons reasons. have a good day

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 I’m interested in every fan base having a chance. I’m interested in a league that isn’t just all about the top five biggest markets.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 so you dont want teams making more money. got it.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 I think what they are doing is bad for the game and proof of an unbalanced system. And I do think there is a West Coast elitism that seems to come out anytime a cap is mentioned. People get extremely mean to anyone who has a opinion different than them

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 nah you just dont like the dodgers and apparently LA as a whole none of your complaints are valid in the betterment of the game, youre just bitter the dodgers are winning. got it bud.
