No doubt about that. The Dodgers are so much smarter. They pay up for team guys like Ohtani and Yamamoto and keep guys like Rojas and Kike Hernandez.
Meanwhile, we get the hedge fund version of a baseball team and pay up for a guy who makes no one else better and attracts no one else to the roster.
Maybe if we pay out the nose, we can sign Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger. But players talk, and I would think that if the money were in the same ballpark, those guys would rather sign with the Dodgers also.
I feel like this is like the Knicks and the Bulls in the 1990s. i hope I'm wrong, but I can see us never beating the Dodgers.
