I will be SHOCKED if Bauer pitches another inning for the Dodgers. Nothing about that story plays well in an uber liberal city like Los Angeles.

The astros spend more on just alutve and bregman than what the royals have committed to their entire payroll

Come to Texas Bauer. I’d welcome him with open arms.

Would live to see him come to SD just to give all the liberal Padres fans a complete meltdown. They would swear they would never attend a game in solidarity with domestic violence victims but their arse would be in a seat in petco opening day

I know what the payrolls are
I said historically small market teams
Why are yall arguing about this?
I said I don’t have an answer for cheap owners, but NY teams spending over the cap more than the small market teams is not going to keep competitive balance

Houston has been a top 10 city population-wise for 60+ years.

Astros stay under the cap. They consider the luxury tax a penalty. There’s no advantage to the Astros b/c the other owners won’t spend more money
NY teams buying every free agent regardless of business considerations will eventually become a league problem
Cohen pulling the billionaire I’ve got frick you money can not be good for the game. The majority of the owners didn’t get where they are being reckless
Explain to me why there exists a salary cap in professional sports?

Astros are a middle third team when it comes to market size, but the Angels are inept, the White Sox are mostly inept, and the A's aren't even trying.
Plus all three of those teams share a market with a more popular franchise.

They went over in 2019 and I’m sure would go over again for the right player like they did with Greinke
Also MLB doesn’t have a salary cap

I don’t like the NY teams or any of the top 3 market teams in any sport but you’re melting over this.
Weren’t you proud of the Astros or something earlier in this thread for not being reckless spenders and now you’re saying you may not follow the MLB if this persists

Im not melting
I don’t thiink the NY teams will win next year. I just don’t like the direction this is going, and I’m not on an island

So why bother with a luxury tax then?
What’s the purpose of it?

So that everyone makes more money, cause it's business.
