I'm not going to say they're bad for baseball or all the rules need to be changed or why bother even watching.

No, they are clearly the villains.

They are clearly the, and I give Tiki credit for this, they are the new evil empire.

That makes me even more motivated as a fan for my team to dethrone them, to beat them.

And I'm not going to just sit back and say, oh, it's over.

The Dodgers won another championship.

And I'm not going to say that they're ruining baseball.

Because... They are in a situation where they have the funds, they have a star player that deferred his contract, and they are taking advantage of it.

So if anything, you applaud what they're doing, and you take that and say, you know what?

Let's beat them.

Let's beat them.

Now...

Two angles here.

We'll take them both.

The Mets.

Obviously, they were interested in Kyle Tucker.

Based on reports, they were willing to go a fourth year.

They were willing to go $50 million a year.

Tucker ended up taking $60 million a year from the Dodgers.

Now I would shift my focus to Cody Bellinger from the Mets.
