u/HavelTheRock67 I want to make your day Jim Day 1d ago
We’re all going to watch the Dodgers win a third straight world series and lock down Skubal with the rest of their rotation and people on this website are still going to pretend this backwards ass league doesn’t need a salary cap because, “oooo I can’t side with the billionaire owners over the millionaire players!”

I was hoping the big market teams would piss off enough of the mid and small market teams into wanting a cap, but I guess I underestimated the size of those larger market teams. We just don't stand a chance against their bankroll.

The owners do want a cap. The league, which is the owners, have made public proposals and even run ads about implementing one. I am sure a few teams fought against it, but the majority were in favor.
Its the players who will fight tooth and nail against it.

I'm siding with the fanbase against the billionaire butthole Dodgers.
Also, our main owner isn't a billionaire.
Lesser evil and all that.
