salary cap anyone?

"It's difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kinds of things they're doing," New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner told the YES Network a week after the Scott deal.

I don't even know what to say when i read that. One of the most pathetic complaints i've ever seen.

yeah, that is like a "pigs flying" comment, the Yankees feeling that way about the dodgers. But it seems to show how damaging the dodgers have been to the business model of MLB

The positioning is beginning for the next collective bargaining agreement and its looking the battle line could be over a cap, even a Steinbrenner is joining the chorus

the Dodgers contract with Scott as the final straw

There was something about the four-year, $72 million contract given to left-hander Tanner Scott in January that infuriated fan bases in every market outside of Los Angeles -- even the only one that dwarfs it.

"It's difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kinds of things they're doing," New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner told the YES Network a week after the Scott deal.

That the Yankees -- the most valuable franchise in baseball, the game's foremost revenue machine, owners of the highest payroll each of the first 14 years this century -- had joined the chorus typically reserved for smaller-market teams questioning the game's fairness was no accident. Even if formal discussions about Major League Baseball's next collective bargaining agreement are half a year away, the campaign to capture the hearts and minds of the paying consumers has already begun.

Why not the other sports have it.

I will never understand why the NFLPA and NBAPA agreed to it. Guessing the union heads took bribes from the owners..

Why because they have won 1 WS since 1988??

The Dodgers are honestly clueless. They've been spending boatloads of cash on aging stars for the last 4 yrs and they continue to be one of the most injury-plagued teams in the sport. Their farm system is as overrated as it gets. They trade away the actual good young players they do have (Pepiot) for nothing b.c they can't hold them on the roster.

I called their rotation injuries before the season started while MLB network heads were blowing their load on the potential rotation. I said it then: Which guys in that mix ever topped 150 innings? show me!

[Donn Beach]

the Dodgers don't intend for starting pitchers to top a 150 innings

I don't think the Dodgers are especially well rostered relative to their payroll.
