This should be an interesting discussion...
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to bring in great players. They seem to be the prime destination for so many of the stars of the game. They have also won two World Series since 2020.
The Dodgers have finished in first place every year since 2013, except 2021 (a season where they won 106 games and finished one game out).
As a Yankees fan, do you wish the Yankees operated more like the Dodgers?

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Dodgers signed Tanner Scott. 2025 season is already over. Not renewing YES.
Of course, but it should be quite obvious that the Dodger have replaced the Yankees in this era of MLB
YES! I would love the Yankees to have winning, not payroll caps and luxury taxes, as their number one priority.
I feel the Yankees have had a strong winter, but they are not complete yet and, as so often happens, discussion isn't on making the team the best, it's on the luxury tax.
Regarding deferred money, if it's such a great plan, the Yankees, and every other team, can also do what the Dodgers do.
The Dodgers with all their deferred money, are really circumventing the spirit of the CBT rules.
MLB essentially looked the other way with the whole Ohtani interpreter gambling thing. There is no way Ohtani was completely oblivious to what was going on. And even if you want to believe that, what about all of his team, like his agent or lawyers, or accountants? Remember, Ohtani makes MLB mucho $$.
Within 24 hors of the Sasaki announcement, MLB comes out with a statement that they found no form of any funny business. Really?
Last year, the Dodgers announced they signed both Ohtani & Joe Kelly, but weeks went by before they were added to the 40 man roster. Oh, how wa…
They wouldn't have to go crazy like the Dodgers. They just have to be willing to fill the holes even if they go over the threshold. Signing a second or third baseman for 10-14 mil if it makes st nse should be a priority, not the salary threshold. I might have spend the 12-15 mil for Tanner Scott if Milwaukee insisted on Durbin in the Williams deal. Then we wouldn't have to look for an infielder. I might have given up some decent minor leaguer for a younger productive first baseman like Nathaniel Lowe. Still might try a deal for Branden Lowe for the infield. They need to be willing to take a few risks.
