Dodgers Payroll

[Chi_archie]

Worst team in baseball the last few weeks

quarter of a Billion dollar Payroll

17-16 for 249 million


Cleveland Indians. 17-14 for 50 million


Dodgers perfectly represent that dumpster fire of a State

Players need to earn a living

[JMobile]

Dodgers have Kershaw, a future HOF

[Brock Landers]

Tampa bay roster earns as much as Cole and Stanton

Gets better results

[JMobile]

Might add the Padres on that budget list

[d2bets]

Dodgers have Kershaw, a future HOF

Angels had a future HOF'er too. They released him.

[goduke]

Let’s see at the end of the year if this thread is relevant

[JMobile]

Pujols did not start his career with the Angels. Kershaw started his career with the Dodgers

Payrolls really do not matter that much anymore bases

A lot of talent in minors so very little drop off with so called high priced guys

[Chi_archie]

Angels might have a HOFer in that Mike Trout guy


i'm not sure how this is relevant to the actual topic though

... and that's relevant how?

Might? He's a HoF'er. He might be the best hitter ever.

Very true

You'd get the same or better results platooning AAA dudes than you get from Harper or Machado

Pitching the ONLY area to overpay.

If I were GM I'd hugely overpay on 3 yr deals, not 5, and use a 4 man rotation. Beat the shit out of those FAs

[pologq]

agree with fats

get yourself 3 lights out pitchers and then guys who can generate runs with doubles, timely singles and small ball while playing defense

this yankees way of power hitters sucks

Won't work because the other guy will overpay for 5 and the pitcher is gonna take more guaranteed money. Only way is to scout well and find some diamonds in the rough and then don't eff up when you do open up the pursestrings.

Can't scout pitching...seriously.

MLB today only looks at physical condition for pitchers and many get drafted as SS or outfielders.

Just be the club that gives 40-50 mm / yr to 3 Cy young caliber guys and then terrorize the opposition w baserunning, defense and obp.

You'll be a contender every year w a 150-175mm payroll rolling into the 2030s and that'll be 75% of league average and you'll have 0 dead money

[pilebuck13]

Lol so early to say anything the pitching has been decent got bullpen issues hitters been slumping it’s may lmao lil over reacting in here

[Hman]

And the Rays nearly took them to 7 games in World Series last year

W 2 Cy young caliber pitchers....they just wouldn't pay them.

[JIBBBY]

Dodgers are crap this year.. Fade...
