Re: Tarik Skubal traded to the Dodgers
They got a top OF prospect in baseball and a pitcher who despite being 28, is in the top 100 as he's had numerous arm injuries but TOR stuff. They also got a young pitcher with really high K/9's.
It's a lot to give up for a rental... but I doubt they care.
Teams like the Brewers can't really afford to make moves like this.

What's funny, this isn't just about a rental. This is about a shot at extending him

Video game baseball with fixed trades option enabled.
Why would anyone watch baseball from now on? “The Dodgers win!! ……….. again!”

this is why I stopped watching baseball (and that the M's aren't worth supporting)

What was stopping the Brewers, Braves, White Sox, what have you... from offering a better package? The package wasn't even that good.
The Mets are in the same stratosphere $$ wise as the Dodgers and they stink. Same with the Yankees who despite spending an ass ton of $$, aren't that good.
Do I think there needs to be a salary cap and floor? Yes. But you can't deny the Dodgers are far and away the model franchise. They have a top 2 farm in baseball year in and out and they spend $$. A dream if you're a fan.
Even if the league imposed a $300M cap and say a $200M floor... the Dodgers would still be the best team in baseball by a long shot because they do it right.
