The Dodgers have signed Tanner Scott to a four-year deal, showcasing their aggressive approach to free agency. Team president Stan Kasten defended the organization's spending, arguing it enhances both local and league-wide engagement. He emphasized that the Dodgers' success and fan support generate excitement, while also creating a polarizing dynamic for rival teams. Despite backlash from rival organizations and fans, Kasten believes the payroll disparity positively impacts the sport. With a projected payroll of about $375 million, the Dodgers significantly outpace other teams, diversifying the competitive landscape in MLB.
This is really good for baseball. I have no question about it. The Dodgers' roster-building approach should energize both their own fanbase and those of other clubs who want to see them fail.
It's really good when there's one beloved team by their fans who come out in record numbers, leading all of baseball in attendance, while that same team can be hated and lead baseball in road attendance.
