Let's talk about the Dodger signings.
00:02
They have signed every single player in Major League Baseball to their roster.
00:09
I think baseball is just broken and I don't know where we're going to see it repaired
00:14
in my lifetime.
00:15
And it's a shame because it's the first sport I fell in love with.
00:19
It was a very important sport to me all the way through my first, it was my first job
00:24
covering the Pittsburgh Pirates for the Greensburg Tribune Review back in 1982.
00:30
I didn't really take to being a baseball beat writer, but I still love the sport.
00:34
But it's not a competition anymore, Scott.
00:37
It's not about smarter, better, faster, stronger, whatever.
00:41
It's about richer and that's all it is.
00:43
And the baseball zealots pretend that it's not.
00:48
But if you look at the teams that are in the final four of the NFL this week, Philly,
00:55
big market, absolutely.
00:57
Kansas City?
00:58
No, not a big market.
00:59
Buffalo?
01:00
That's definitely not a big market.
01:02
That's what you're seeing.
01:03
The difference between those two in baseball, it was like 1-1, 2-30 were the four final
01:10
four teams in terms of their market size.
01:13
If you see that in football, it's an anomaly.
01:16
In football, it's about how smart you are in the NFL.
01:20
It's about who makes the best moves, how they spend their money the best.
01:24
And everybody does well.
01:25
In baseball, they absolutely cheese on the rookies, the guys who haven't made it to arbitration
01:32
yet.
01:33
They squeeze them.
01:34
There are entire teams that are squeezed on payroll because they can, because there's
01:39
no salary floor as well as no salary cap.
01:42
Baseball is broken.
01:44
If people want to love it, good for them.
01:46
It's just no longer the sport that it ought to be.
