The Los Angeles Dodgers made headlines with their bold free agency moves after winning the World Series, notably signing two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract. This aggressive acquisition strategy has drawn mixed reactions, with some claiming it threatens the competitive balance of baseball. Dodgers' President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman, stated their focus remains solely on rewarding their fans, despite outside criticism. Notably, Bryce Harper praised the Dodgers' approach, arguing that detractors are merely envious, indicating respect among competitors even amidst rivalry.
I think I look at it from the other side. The inverse of that hopefully means that our fans are really happy. From our standpoint, that's our only mission: to do everything we can to be great stewards of this organization and to reward our incredibly passionate fans.
I don't know if people will like this, but I feel like only losers complain about what they're doing. I think they're a great team. They're a great organization.
