God I HATE the Dodgers more than.any team in sports. NYY Evil Empire? Lol please, LA has taken it to an entity new level and Hal is not his Dad. MLB needs to fix itself or it's gonna lose more and more fans while the DOYERS build Japan West.

I know, I know, I know....MLB has no salary cap....apples to oranges....I get it. HOWEVER, one is a marketing company that dabbles in football....the other is a marketing company that goes ALL IN with baseball. The Dodgers could EASILY do what Booger and Chuckles are doing and sock every last dollar away they can....but they don't....they spend, spend, spend....they want to win the World Series every year by trying to remove the luck factor....Booger and Chuckles want to "hang around the rim" and steal a NY Giants/Eli Super Bowl. LA's money they've made on Japanese corporate deals with Ohtani has already been spent on salaries....Dodger stadium will be PACKED every year regardless of the product....but they still spend, spend, spend.....like AT&T, its a destination of visiting fans and visitors in general. Booger and Chuckles are FLAT OUT LYING about the salary cap....if company man Mike Fisher is telling us this, you know its gotta be 100% fact. There need to be some orchestrated protests....too bad it's not the 70's and 80's where you could bring signs and posters into the stadium....you damn sure know that no radio station or other media outlets will get anything off the ground....and I don't trust AT&T zombies to bring paper bags for their heads....too blindly loyal for that. Sheesh....not sure where I'm now going with this....but neither do Booger and Chuckles. BTW....don't look for there to be ANY MENTION of Witten until the S storm dies down....that move will happen later on during the dark of the nite.
I grew up a Dodgers fans. They went from 1988 (Kirt Gidson 1 legged grand slam) to 2020 (shortened season (32 seasons). They went from a team renowned for their farm system to a team buying championship teams consisting of foreign national ringers!

There isn’t one organization in baseball that wouldn’t take Friedman right now as GM…his timing is a thing of beauty…when Dodger fans panic, ones with calmer heads say “Breathe easy…let Friedman cook”…and he always does…this guy was scouting, visiting, and courting Sasaki for FIVE years…he wore him down is what he did…workaholic.
You do understand that many many organizations have been scouting, visiting and courting Sasaki for years. Timing? The man is signing all of the top free agents available. I am not seeing the skill doing that. I didn’t hear to many people call Brian Cashman a genius when he could do exactly what the Dodgers are doing right now. You can argue that the Friedman are better at it than Preller. I’ll give him that.

Besides the deferred money on the Ohtani contract, the Dodgers are doing the same thing the Yankees used to do. Back in the day the Yankees used every other team in baseball as their personal farm system. This is nothing new.

I stand corrected...just found out 15 minutes ago that the Dodgers have been courting him for SIX years.

The vast majority of baseball free agents from Asia stay on the west coast. The Dodgers have a huge advantage in that Los Angeles has a large Asian population in the area, and is considerably closer to East Asia than the east coast cities that can offer similar money. Miami had a similar situation years ago with players defecting from Cuba. Parts of South Florida are basically Latin America. Cultural familiarity means a lot to many players.

I read an article somewhere the said that Sasaki was not concerned with the Asian population, there being and other Japanese player or the market size. Maybe that wasn’t true idk.
