They just asked Dodgers owner Stan Kasten how they compete for Championships every year. His answer was, "I hire the best people, and let them do their job." Just hearing that was the biggest of all punches to the nutz....had Billionaire Booger done that the last 30 years, can you JUST IMAGINE how many more Lombardi's we might have? Especially given there is no salary cap on coaches. Just thinking about it, makes me want to puke.

Yankees and Dodgers also spend like mad on players. Helps just a tad.

We have also in the last 30 years, minus this past offseason.

Is there a salary cap in baseball? I don't watch it, so that's an honest question.

Really? Please list the big time free agents they signed. I think the last one was T.O 18 years ago.

No boasting of how great he is and how there’s no one better that includes curse words?

That's just not true. The Cowboys signed Brandon Carr in 2012. Since then there have been no big FA signings.

Didn't they pay silly money to Brandon Carr about 12 years ago or so? I'm fuzzy on the details but I remember it being a rash, impulsive move.

Yup they paid an average CB like he was Deion and then they stopped participating in free agency instead of getting better at it.

There is no hard salary cap, but there is a point where teams pay a luxury tax if their payroll reaches a certain point and I believe it is shared with other teams that do not go over it.

That gives teams in larger markets a huge advantage obviously but it has not stopped smaller market teams from competing in the post season.

That said, it does turn most small market teams into pseudo minor league teams because their young star players are usually traded away when they are close to reaching free agency because the small market teams know they cannot compete with offers from large market teams when their players become free agents.

Can you imagine the quality people that would want to work for Jerry and his allegiance/generosity....if only he would let them?

In free agency? No.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

To be fair, being The Los Angeles Dodgers in a no salary cap league helps.

Although if the NFL was a no salary cap league Jerry would do nothing differently anyways.

And your life would be exactly as good as it is or exactly as bad as it is. Control what u can control, everything else is just fluff…

There's some truth to this. The reason the salary cap got started was because misers like Jerry wanted to save a buck. People think that back in the early 90's Jerry went crazy spending money when he really didn't.

Good luck getting through that thick skull.

But people eat it up when he says he’ll write any check he needs to if it gets him a Super Bowl.

It’s so easy to say that when you know you’re not allowed to do it.

There is a luxury tax, and teams with money like the NYY, LAD, Mets, etc, can pretty much spend at will. There is no other way that Ohtani can sign a half-a-billion-dollar contract. However, teams like Cleveland, Tampa, etc, who do not/cannot spend money are competitive every year because they work around the money deficiencies. The Mets and Yanks spend spend spend, and look how life is treating them as of last night. Juan Soto is going to sign a $700,000,000 with either of the 3 teams I mentioned...

Crazy
