I have been a Dodger fan for over 68 years. This year's team is thin on starting pitching but has a strong position player lineup. Their problem is one of the worst managers in MLB. I liked Dave Roberts when he helped the Red Sox win in 2004 but he is a weak manager. If they win it all, it will be in spite of their manager! Hope they win! I'm from NY but never have liked the yankees.

In honor of Los Angeles and New York I will cheer for neither one to win. 🙃

Because we can post, that is why we post. Why do you care if they posted and say they didn't care who won? Not everyone is a Doger fan or a Wankeer fan, they can state their opinion, as long as it isn't political, supposedly.

Two good reasons to not like New York teams, the Mets and Yankees have the top two payrolls in all of Major League Baseball. I’m not a Dodgers fan, but go L.A., at least they aren’t the Evil Empire!

And the Dodgers are third!

But that does not include the Dodgers’ deferred payments. Ohtani deferred 97% of his salary this year which is $68 million. He only gets paid $2 million a year for 10 years and then $68 million a year after that.

If you include deferred payments, I believe the Dodgers have the highest payroll.


Shohei Ohtani, the LA Dodgers, and the Power of $680M in Deferred Payments - Raistone

Ohtani is due $680 million from 2034-43, Freeman $57 million from 2028-40 and Hernández $8.5 million from 2030-39. Betts is owed $115 million in salaries from 2033-44 and the final $5 million of his signing bonus payable from 2033-35.

Mets − $305,624,274

Two to Zip, Dodgers. Looks like Ohtani popped a shoulder out of his socket and is questionable for the rest of the series.

I don’t really care who wins but I like to see each team at full strength.

Today is a travel day so perhaps he can recover and play tomorrow.
