The Los Angeles Dodgers flexed their financial muscle last offseason when they spent over $1 billion in player contracts to add Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Tesocar Hernández, among others, to an already-talented core.
Padres manager Mike Shildt credited the Dodgers for putting the best possible team on the field but said he otherwise is focused on defeating them rather than worrying about their strategy of utilizing deferred salary.
I don't spend a lot of time thinking about them. I spend way more time figuring out how we're going to continue to take care of them and beat them.
My time and energy is to continue to figure out a way to move our mission forward to take care of business, win the NL West and ultimately get that big shiny prize at the end with the ring.
