""The Yankees have 27 World Series titles and we're roughly 20 behind so I think the facts are that ultimately you want really big teams that are pulling the league forward," Boehly said. "Demand for the sport continues to grow, and I think that there's just going to have to be a little bit of teeth-gnashing about how it moves forward.""
""Boehly's comments come a few days after the Dodgers signed All-Star free agent Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract. L.A. added yet another All-Star to its already star-studded roster. While many opposing fans aren't happy with the Dodgers collecting talent after talent each and every offseason, they are playing well within the rules. The Dodgers just keep on winning, on and off the field.""
""Many will say, well, what's the point of even watching baseball now? But people are tuning in, those who love or even hate the Dodgers. The 2025 World Series, which featured the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, averaged 15 million viewers, more than what the NBA averaged with their Finals, averaging 10.27 million. That's not a bad thing, either. Every league needs one - just ask former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.""
Todd Boehly defended the Los Angeles Dodgers against claims they are 'ruining baseball,' arguing that dominant teams pull the league forward and grow demand. The Dodgers signed All-Star Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million deal, adding to an unprecedented run of acquisitions including Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, and Edwin Diaz. Opposing fans criticize concentrated talent spending, but the team follows established rules and continues winning on and off the field. The 2025 World Series featuring the Dodgers averaged 15 million viewers, exceeding NBA Finals averages, while the franchise generates substantial revenue and polarized attention.
