"The Los Angeles Dodgers' signing of Kyle Tucker to a record four-year, $240 million contract has added a whole bunch of fuel to the salary cap debate. The Dodgers have seemingly pushed multiple MLB team owners to the brink, with some calling for a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement (CBA) to curb aggressive spending. The league is rumored to be even more motivated to push for a salary cap in the wake of the Dodgers signing Tucker."
"L.A.'s proficiency on the business side of things has created a significant competitive advantage that has enabled their lavish spending. But what makes the Dodgers especially deadly is their continued attention to detail in all aspects of running a successful organization. Their talent development and identification was on full display in the World Series, with Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein providing invaluable innings in Game 3 against the Toronto Blue Jays."
