It's the 2030 MLB season. The Dodgers are the entire National League All-Star roster. Their payroll is roughly equivalent to the GDP of Liechtenstein. Shohei has six rings and seven MVPs. Everyone is whining about the system, but the MLB has its best annual revenue ever.

2016: the dodgers are getting pretty good

2026: the dodgers are an unstoppable juggernaut

2036: welcome, Dodgers fan number #3,636,896,211. Your court-mandated appearance at the tv to cheer on the dodgers is scheduled for today at 7 pm

Rolling two thoughts around my head:

1. The Dodgers signing everyone is a function of the rest of the league’s ownership being content to siphon money out of their teams without spending in turn, even via deferred deals, the most team-friendly deal imaginable

2. The Dodgers can eat a bag of shit

Tired: hating the Dodgers because they spend a lot more money than your team does

Wired: hating the Dodgers because their ownernership has financial ties to ICE detention centers

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

The image of the Sargeant-at-Arms removign Al Green from the chamber is gonna go viral
