MLB Playoffs

Where spending big like Dodgers, Mets, Phillies etc becomes a problem is that it creates a two-tier system. The small market teams who can't generate the sort of revenue big market teams do become defacto feeder systems for those big markets. They can catch lightning in a bottle but as soon as their young stars approach free agency they're gone because their small market team can't afford them.

Thanks. That makes sense. Owners willing to spend big bucks will have an unfair advantage attracting stars who become free agents. A cap could solve that problem but still doesn't guarantee a winning team. It was amazing watching MIL mow down LAD like they were standing still.

I don't know what is more desirable or profitable for owners, having a team with stars or having team that wins. I think it is very cool to see the final three this year have relatively small payrolls and are playing baseball that is fun to watch.

So true! Dodgers were humiliated. Guardians have spunk and youth on their side. Ohtani choked same as Vlad 🤷🏻‍♂️
