The Los Angeles Dodgers are on track to spend a record $500 million for the 2025 season, stirring debate within Major League Baseball regarding their impact on competition. While Dodgers' owner Mark Walter and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred defend the spending as positive, there are murmurs of concern from other clubs, particularly in smaller markets. As the league approaches a new collective bargaining agreement before the 2027 season, the divide between large-market and small-market teams could become a significant issue.
"I don't think so," said Mark Walter, the Dodgers ' controlling owner.
"The Dodgers are a really well-run, successful organization," Manfred said. "Everything that they do and have done is consistent with our rules."
