The Los Angeles Dodgers are leveraging their financial resources again, signing notable free agents like Blake Snell and Michael Conforto and extending contracts for key players. Since signing Shohei Ohtani, the team has amassed nearly $1.8 billion in salary commitments. The Dodgers' projected payroll for 2025 will exceed $370 million, overshadowing 15 other teams with significantly lower budgets. As MLB heads toward CBA negotiations, a potential salary cap could lead to labor disputes reminiscent of the 1994 season, raising concerns among MLB owners about the competitive landscape.
"The Dodgers are set to have a payroll north of $370 million for the 2025 season, a number that provokes concern among other franchises with much lower projections."
"Proposing a cap in next year's CBA negotiations would be tantamount to a declaration of war by MLB - and already those owners are prepared for commissioner Rob Manfred to lock the players out Dec. 1, 2026."
