"For us, we just don't pay much attention to that because we operate within the rules and we do everything we can to put ourselves in the best position, both short-term and longterm,"
"We're not thinking about more macro things outside of that."
"It is about, how can we win as many games and put ourselves in the best position to win a championship in 2026 without really compromising ourselves in the future and falling off that proverbial cliff. So it's the balance and maintaining of those two things that are our sole focus."
The Dodgers finalized a four-year contract with Kyle Tucker whose average annual value, including deferrals, is $57.1 million, a Major League record. The signing followed another high-profile offseason addition, reliever Edwin Díaz, whose deal set an AAV record for relievers.

The Dodgers' front office remains focused on constructing the best team within the rules, balancing the pursuit of a 2026 championship with long-term fiscal sustainability amid CBA uncertainty.
