Dynasty-type teams are always hated, probably more in baseball where things are regional. I get that, but arguing the Dodgers aren't cause Jeff Passan made two tweets that were notable because it's not a popular take and that he's getting a ton of pushback for is weird, I guess.

It's basically Passan and some sabr guys. Heyman was writing that even Snell was bad for baseball.

Will the Dodgers ever not play another NL West team in the NLDS this decade?

(which is why I’m guessing they’d want the eventual Teoscar deal to count something like $20m/year in CBT payroll accounting for deferrals rather than the $22-24m/year in total payout)

Would be about $44.2 million

Every Dodgers addition now will be taxed at 110% for 2025 at the very least (& likely at least 2026 too given the various commitments). They are at ~$330m already in CBT payroll for 2025

Ohtani, Betts, Freeman, Glasnow, Smith, Snell, Edman are $207.4m/year thru 2027

here is a good blocklist: 💞
