@foulterritory: "Every team had the opportunity to outbid the Dodgers." Frustrated fans shouldn't blame the Dodgers for acquiring Tarik Skubal, says Kevin Pillar.

Matty Fire :

When your team is stacked with every elite free agent, you'll end up having more prospects. Every Dodger advantage comes from unlimited payroll

tomfarrell725 :

Every team can’t afford to pay these salaries. The Dodgers have deferred close to a billion in payments for salary over the years to come. Deferred payment and cap restrictions are coming

AC_Dragon :

Why outbid the Dodgers when he'll just sign with them...

user602785543357 :

Everyone knows he is gonna sign with the dodgers in the offseason anyway, so why give up the farm for a rental.

Random Sports Fan Forum :

They have a $2 billion dollar team, it’s just getting ridiculous at this point.

Jordan Chacon :

very few teams have packages to give.

TattooedCEO :

Cubs fan here. No hate towards Dodgers. My blame falls on the owners and they need to lock out the players until there is a salary cap like all the other leagues.

RyanHuffs :

The dodgers hold all the blame currently. Any take arguing against it is just a bad faith biased argument. It’s literally victim blaming poorer teams. The MLB community won’t be gaslit by dodgers fans and biased media personalities

LeoHaze_ :

Blame your team for not wanting to spend money, all MLB teams are owned by billionaires. They have the money they just don’t care about their fans enough to do what the dodgers aren’t afraid to do

Hugh Jr. :

1.6 billon deferred is crazy

Josef Fountain :

salary caps are a race to the bottom. if you can't afford it, sell your team.

Nate :

no they fucking didn't. LA got him for peanuts. they wanted a king's ransom from anyone else

Apple User974823 :

By all accounts the package from the Dodgers for Skubal was underwhelming. Blame the Braves, Cubs, Brewers, etc for not having the stones to beat it.

squint71 :

Sure every team has the opportunity but they don’t have the bottomless well of money like they do! They are going to ruin baseball forever!!

mauricio ardon :

exactly go dodgers 🤣🤣🤣

Dodgers#1Hater :

Milehigh330 :

Except that Dodgers didn’t need him. They did this fuck over their competition.

brockoli_1 :

The have the best prospects they were will to trade and other teams weren’t

Joshua M :

let's also add im sure skubal had a say about it .who wouldn't want to go play for a team so dedicated to winning.im a dodger fan that watched the Yankees back in the day be willing to spend whatever to win.i didn't hate the Yankees I blamed the Dodgers top people for making wrong choices.just about every player the Dodgers have besides ohtani plenty other teams could of spent more to get.

sweet and sour :

oh really? so every team in MLB had a chance to sign him long-term huh? please tell me the team that was going to sign him long-term and at the amount that he was looking for?

Ahhh durrrr :

Does every team has a tax break from a bankruptcy! Saving multiple millions of dollars?? Keep it real

Jordan :

Why would any team trade 3 top 50 prospects when he’s signing with the dodgers anyways. They’re the only ones to blame

motorctymadman67 :

Wait to see what kind of a contract he gets and then tell me the same thing

Jw420 :

Skubal dosent move the needle for a single team other than the dodgers 🤦‍♂️

RogerDodger :

Just because they outbid them doesn't mean the Tigers have to take that deal.
