    I guess it was the Dodgers' to lose. If the Yankees had offered the same they'd most likely would have chosen the Dodgers. Also their system has been working. Maybe not so much in the playoffs but for the season they're going to get 95+ wins. Also the NL west hasn't been that competitive. They could have joined Arizona or San Diego to make it more interesting. 
    “Their system”? they don’t have a system. They have gobs of money. At least the Yankees teams most of us hated developed a few of their own stars.
    Talking about their analytics team and Andrew Friedman. Made the Rays a better team and got the Dodgers to where they are now.

    Obviously money helps. But the Rays weren't spending. If Robert's were to leave or be fired and go to a different team that spends as much. He won't be averaging 100 wins

    Stupid fucking Mets pay more in salary tax than Reds paid in salary.  Both teams missed playoffs....but Reds were out with a few days left in the season and Mets were out by trading deadline.
    Cohen is a dope.  Mets are bad for MLB.

    Go ahead and rip me, Mets fans, your franchise is problematic.

    moot point, since there is no other team “that spends as much.”

    F’me - a bunch of teams are “problematic.” MLB should, but won’t, do more to promote parity.

    There are at least 2 teams that can spend that much

    Its broken and awful.   

    Baseball will be the on the same plane as Horse Racing and Boxing in 30-50 years.  Once the most popular sports of bygone eras reduced to the fringe.

    Agree to a certain extent. I am happy that Crane woke up and did something, though. Need to lock in Tucker, Bregman and Altuve. Altuve will definitely stay, but I think they'll lose one of the other 2. Ugh.

    Giants won 3 WS with 3 different closers. None were big money. The Giants one shot a high dollar closer was a disaster (armando benitez). It is my belief it is best to just “find a guy” and put him in the role.

    The Mets tried that with disastrous results.

    The Halos have yet to find a guy...

    Seems to me the standards are getting lower to get in. Some odd parameters. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I like the 3 they voted in and have no issues with those left out, if steroids are still reason to keep them out.  Beltre was rumored but never caught, I believe.   He was badass defender and hitter, though.
