MLB viewership is on the upswing while NBA is on be downswing . MLB has had the most unique champions over the last decade (and 15 years)

MLB has new very restrictive luxury tax brackets that punish teams with draft picks , international signing money , and actual Tax $$

MLB owners are pocketing ridiculous amounts each year compared to other sports .

More owners just need to start actually spending . MLB players actually are getting the short end of the stick (I know hard to believe) with their CBA compared to other leagues (Arbitration rules , no spending floor , minors pay , etc)

If anything the players are the ones who need a new/ better CBA .

The Dodgers spending is the least of the issues (and superteams make for good ratings)

Most teams realize paying 70 mil for an extra 2 wins from Edman vs starting an pre Arb / Arb 1 guy for 1-2 million just isn’t worth it and it’s better to put that money in your pocket

Teams have been doing it for years (TB , Miami) and now the bigger market teams like Boston are copying the business model
