Cap is needed, however as you mentioned, unfortunately the side effect it will kill the movement.
But this kind of spending hasn’t killed the league before - why will it now ?

The dodgers cleared out a ton of cap space to be ready for this . They will still spend a ton - but not a lot different then they spent 2 years ago or the Mets spent last year

The biggest thing is the Sodgers have realized to stop overpaying past their prime players and are instead focusing on younger players . This could def let them build a dynasty (and their drafting/ farm is top notch as well)
