2025 ATL Thread - MLB Salary Cap Discussion Page 8

Absolute worst outcome possible. A clean sweep by LA would have at least turned the heat up on salary cap discussions. Now we have to hear all the legacy baseball media **** wax poetically about how great this is for baseball (barfs). This league is **** broken.

From a tv viewing perspective it was one of the greatest WS ever. Those defensive plays last night were incredible. Agreed this will be problematic for salary cap efforts

Disagree with you guys. No one remembers the details down the line; Dodgers are back to back champions, period. “Well the Jays were just bad on the bases” does not feel like a topic in salary cap conversations.

The worst case scenario tbh was always a Jays win. Of course the Dodgers looking like unstoppable juggernauts makes a more immediate impression, but they still won. The billion dollar team losing? Different story.

The question will be if the bottom 15 revenue owners decide to actually do something meaningful. Or if they simply back off, count their profits and keep status quo.

If I counted accurately Dodgers had 12 guys making $10mm or more this past season. Blue Jays had 10.

We had 3 and that counts Jordan Montgomery who was really an asterisk.

And even that measurement doesn’t reflect that the Jays and Dodgers had many guys under massive $100 to $700 million mega deals. Still can’t get over the fact they tossed out $375 million to buy Yamamoto. That weapon alone is a massive competitive advantage.

[MikeIsGood]

Sure. None of that has anything to do with last night's game being the 'worst possible outcome.' It wasn't (IMO).

Great game but a good baserunner is safe at home. No secondary lead with bases loaded in that scenario is a big mistake.
