Because the Dodgers are just โ I mean, at some point, someone's going to stop.
And Steve Cohen stopped at 55, and the Dodgers went up to 60.
Well, the Mets offered, at least for AAV, more for Kyle Tucker than they did for Juan Soto.
Yeah, but don't you think, though, that...
if they limit teams like the Dodgers, the Mets, and I don't even know if you can put the Yankees in there anymore, but the Dodgers and the Mets, the players are going to balk at that because if there's a salary cap you can't go over, like the competitive balance act is a soft cap, but if it's a salary cap you can't go over, then Kyle Tucker's not getting that money.
If Juan Soto, there's a salary cap you can't go over, maybe Juan Soto isn't getting that money.
So if I'm the players and I'm thinking, you have a hard cap,
then these contracts are going to go away.
I know, but that's my point.
Yeah, but you said they're not really involved.
It's not about them.
Right, and they also won the previous year.
Yeah, I mean, it's like, I don't, that's a funny argument to me.
Like, I'd love to barely win a World Series.
Yeah, so this is where I look at who really needs to fix baseball.
And to me, it's Major League Baseball itself.
Because a lot of these owners are okay with making money because of these tax bills.
And they're not putting it on the team.
Some of them are pissed off because they can't compete anymore.
And they want to have players and they want to be able to sign players and trying to build from within is tougher than doing what the Dodgers are doing.
