Are the Dodgers "Ruining" Baseball?

I love how everyone forgot about how their only playoff success before this was in the Covid year

Nobody forgot. It’s just irrelevant now that they repeated. -
No because owners are refusing to pay their players and the Dodgers spend nearly 70% of their revenue on players because if you want to sell a ton of jerseys you need more than 2 good to elite players and if you want more fans to start coming to your games you need to pay for good to elite players so it can make more people go to the games just like what happened in San Diego. People barely went to Padres games during their Navy and Tan boring era and then when they started paying their players and available stars they started becoming popular and more people attend their games now.

They’re not ruining anything. The Dodgers are just playing by the rules. Don’t blame them. With that being said, I do think they need a cap and a floor. I refuse to go to a game and pay the outrageous prices. It’s only gonna get worse.

I totally agree. They need a salary cap and floor.

You do realize that ticket prices and player contracts are only tangentially related. Ticket prices are high because demand for tickets is high (unless you live in Florida or Central California.)

I can promise you demand is not high to go watch the Twins

Funny/Ironic/whatever that of the 9 teams ranked 19-27 in attendance, 7 of them are Central teams. The outliers are the Cubs (#7), Brewers (#12), and Detroit (#16).
Those two divisions really are the garbage dump of MLB. Sorry.

The only people who think the Dodgers are ruining baseball are teams that suck and arent willing to spend a dime. Every owner has the money to spend they just don't spend it. And this a coming from a Phillies fan. Who just got my heart ripped out 3 years in row,with the issue being that Dave Dombrowski don't want to spend money.

@SaveFarris_PSN I’m sure you’re correct. I stand by what I said.
