"I don't understand some of the ownerships' arguments with this stuff. Because there's probably hundreds of multi-, multi-billionaires that would love to own a professional baseball team. I bet we could get a list of 100 guys right now that are uber wealthy, that would love to run a baseball team. And knowing that year in and year out, it might not make the money you would want it to make, but over time it's just like a stock. It's going to continue to appreciate."
"While MLB is in an advantageous position thanks to the momentum of the past couple years, some owners don't like the optics of the Dodgers becoming the sport's first repeat champions in 25 years as the result of their aggressive spending the past two offseasons. Clayton Kershaw believes those who are against spending and are calling for an MLB salary cap, like Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort, are running their organizations with the wrong mindset."
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2025 World Series over the Toronto Blue Jays with record U.S. and Canadian viewership, signaling strong momentum for MLB. Some owners object to the Dodgers becoming the sport's first repeat champions in 25 years after aggressive offseason spending and are advocating for a salary cap. Critics of spending argue owners should limit expenditures; proponents counter that long-term investment increases franchise value and that wealthy buyers would hold teams despite variable short-term returns. Owners can improve competitiveness by investing in organizational infrastructure, scouting, and player development to emulate the Dodgers' advantages.
