The Dodge team introduced their latest large free players signing players on Thursday. Team Chairman Stan Kasten attended the press conference to celebrate Tanner Scott Joined the club with the four -year free player agreement.
When asked about the Dodge’s second consecutive offseason, Casten defended the organization’s expenditure. “This is indeed good for baseball. I have no doubt about this“He told reporters (connected to Fabian ARDAYA from The Athletic). Casten pointed out that the volatility of the American League Baseball League has reduced any team’s opportunity to win the World Championship. The team’s lineup construction method should inspire their fans and fans who want to see them failed.
“In terms of entertainment, this is our essence. When a team that is loved by fans appeared with a record number, the leader of all baseball games is the lead, and the same team may be hated and seated on the away away. This is really good to lead the leading baseball. This is a win -win situation for baseball“Casten said.
Needless to say, everyone outside Los Angeles agrees with this view. ESPN’s Jeff Passan published a long column article to discuss the success of the Dodge team Sasaki Their pursuit and overall success in the development of free players and internal players. It is not surprising that the Dodge team was not only strongly opposed by the opponent’s fans, but also strong opposition from the opponent’s management. This is a response to the extended level contained in the overall expenditure of Los Angeles and the extended level contained in most contracts. We encourage readers to read Passan’s article completely.
Cot’s Baseball Contracts predicts that Dodge’s luxury tax salary is about $ 375mm. The Facific team ranked second in layout, about $ 308. According to this estimate, the Yankees team is the only team that exceeds 300mm dollars. The gap between the Dodge team and the 30th Malaysia team is almost $ 300.
Passan wrote that the salary gap (plus 765mm margin) Hu An Sodot The negotiations between the bosses who want to implement the wage limit from the Metropolitan Team) are “re -ignited.” David Rubenstein, the owner of the New Golden Battle, is one of the supporters. He bought the team’s franchise rights from the Andereos family last spring.
“I hope we can set a salary limit in baseball like other sports. Maybe we will do this in the end, but we don’t have it yet.“Robinstein told Yahoo Finance at the Davos World Economic Forum this week.”I suspect that we may be closer to NFL and NBA (salary upper limit and lower limit), but it cannot guarantee this.“
Of course, the upper limit needs to be collectively negotiated. The owner of the American League Baseball tried to implement the upper limit in many negotiations before the CBA. The American Professional Baseball Grand League Players’ Association refused to concessions on this issue because it still strongly opposes the fixed restrictions on the player’s income capacity. Luxury taxes are designed to limit the expenditure of high -end markets. It does play a deterrent role in some large market franchise management rights, but it is obviously an obstacle. If ownership is willing, the team can be free to cross.
“I think the big city team has some advantages. Now, in Los Angeles, they have another advantage“Robinstein added. “They have Japanese players, [a] There are many people like Xiangping, and the Japanese really like to watch the Taoqi team. They sell a lot of Dodge teams in Japan in Japan. Player.“
The upper limit of salary will not directly affect Sasaki’s signing. His ability to make money Once The US Professional Baseball Grand Alliance (MLB) has a strict international signing restriction on amateur players. Sasaki is qualified because he is not 25 years old. The Dodge team’s expenditure may indirectly affect his decision -he joined the lineup of the defending champion, and there are already two Japanese superstars in the lineup. Nagaya Hyosperki and Yamamoto Kyoto ——But the reason and endorsement of his contract exceeds the scope of the upper limit.
Nevertheless, it is clear that many fans are frustrated about the situation of this offseason. In the recent MLBTR polls, more than two -thirds of the respondents said they hoped to implement the upper salary limit in the next round of collective negotiations after the 2026 season. About half of the respondents said that if the alliance can successfully persuade players to agree to the upper limit, they are willing to sacrifice the entire 27 season’s suspension. MLBTR’s Darragh McDonald and Tim Dierkes discussed this situation in detail among podcasts this week.
Delay is another source of anxiety for many fans, especially after the transaction in Okuka delayed his $ 680 of his $ 700 deposit. The Dodge team is neither the first team to postpone a large amount of funds nor the only club at present. The National Team has delayed some transactions (for example Max Serizer,, Pattam Korbin) This is important for them to win in the 2019 World Championship. The Blue Birds team postponed about two -thirds of the salary Anthony The contract just signed this week. Nevertheless, the Dodge team has postponed more funds than any other team in the past year. Oshigu, Wilscas,, Black Siner,, Teorca Elnands,, Tommy Edman All post -delay payments with Tannaskot’s recent contract.
Just as Tim Dierkes of the United States Professional Baseball League (MLBTR) reported shortly after signing a contract in Oku, extended is not a way to really resolve luxury taxes. In many cases, the net value of these contracts (delay delay according to inflation adjustment) is finally close to expectations. As Pasan pointed out, the CBA required the team to reserve funds for future wages within two years after signing a contract with a delayed salary. Passan pointed out that extended payment and huge signing bonuses (many of them are included) are conducive to players to minimize taxes in accordance with California law.
In this offsee or next off, all this will not change. It is less than two years before the CBA expires, and the offseason is likely to stop again. As the day approaches, these conversations will become more urgent.
