The reason a salary cap won't work is because the bad teams will still be left out, because the player will now have to choose which team they want to be on. I highly doubt these players are going to pick a losing team with no upside.
Although he may be initially disappointed with no t having his customary number, I think the most important number may be the one associated with his bank account.
A lot of people have podcast no matter what the topic may be and simply have no knowledge but I’ve come across a few of this guys videos in the past sometimes even hate watching and he’s always fair and he knows his baseball unlike a lot of other giant fans
Diehard dodger fan here. I don’t think they sign Soto.. two huge markets are heavily involved in him and dodgers don’t truly need another superstar.. i thibk that’s being overblown by Soto side for leverage.. Think if we end up getting sasaki (I don’t I think he goes to padres ) then we’ll also sign someone like Jack flaherty and either bring in adames or bring back teo.. don’t see us bringing in both of them And I think if we don’t land sasaki then they they’ll probably serious pursue one of the big 3 in fried , burnes or snell. Sasaki would sinply be a lottery ticket where you could land an elite arm without paying and elite price but overall I still think the dodgers end up with a new elite arm in their rotation for 2025 regardless maybe even by trade
I love the Dodgers, and hope they 3peat. But you can’t compare teams from the 20s, 50s etc, because they didn’t have playoffs. Any team can get hot or slump during a short series. So much harder to win it all now, let alone 2 or 3 in a row.
As a Dodger fan, I would love Soto to go to SF. The division and rivalry could use it. Would be a blast seeing SF, LA and SD and even AZ fight for it every year.
The players won't go for a high limit. More likely to go for a low cap. Low cap should be 100 million right now. 5 teams were under that level in 2024. Have it go up each year by the same percentage as the salary cap. You can go under but then you pay a fine to the league. As a secondary incentive if a team has a losing record for 10 straight years the team goes for sale so a new owner has a chance to turn things around.
My dream offseason if we landed sasaki would be Sasaki Adames Teo Treinen And if they can bring back buehler on the cheap I’d be okay but he’s not a need And if we don’t land sasaki then I think we need either burnes or fried and bring back teo or get adames.. only way i see us bringing in 2 bags of that quality would be if sasaki picks us because they’d save a lot of money on SP considering how little he’d be making
Wow, I’m sold on Soto after hearing you guys . Soto is only 26. They need to get younger not older and Soto is young and wants to win . I like Teo but he’s 31 . As a life long dodger fan , signing Soto at a reasonable contract, dodgers should sign him
I agree with you. I'm a life long dodger fan and I have been telling my friends the same thing. One of the things dodger fans need to pay attention is how young Soto is still and we can use his left hand power bat. Freeman is getting older and one day we will lose that left hand power bat. We have 3 players with more then 5 years with us. Othani, Betts, and Smith. Adding Soto to that group would be long term thrilling to watch. Come on Dodgers let's get this done.
no need for Soto and doesn't fit in . didn't fit in at SD either. Soto stay in NY and who cares what $ he gets as long as not a Dodger. Likely he will get 550 12 yr. but not even close to having impact and skill set of Shohei
We love Ned we will not pay solo no 700 million unless it's the third and even then no because we are a family of unity dodgers bring the city together the dodgers winning formula brings people together and we have a tradition under Thomas soda etcetera of winning wedding brings a smile to God as his children gather Minnesota was to take a little less appreciate the city who would love him and love his talent and can bring the city together if he's willing to take a little less and make God a little more appreciation from God for his talent and the opportunity that has been created our brother our family and his talent would welcome all of our hearts to his ability we're not sure he's wanting to do that if he did we would welcome it but if he didn't respect it would you love to have him but not at the price if you are a dodger you love God the unity the team brings and the tradition of winning for money he would have a chance to play with bets and otani
Good takes from Ned
The reason a salary cap won't work is because the bad teams will still be left out, because the player will now have to choose which team they want to be on. I highly doubt these players are going to pick a losing team with no upside.
Great point.
Dan is a Dodger fan.
Love nex
Interesting that Dan is hyping dodgers. May as well just be a dodgers show lol
What else is there to talk about besides the Dodgers. People only care about winners😂😂😂
Out of the teams chasing Soto, the Giants are the only club that #22 is retired. I would wonder could that be a factor?
Good question.
Although he may be initially disappointed with no t having his customary number, I think the most important number may be the one associated with his bank account.
If Soto wants to come to the Dodgers, #22 is taken by Kershaw. That number is pretty much retired as well
wasn’t a problem for Bryce Harper. Soto will wear #2 for the Giants for the right price.

Soto going to Mets
Hey, big thanks for giving Ned 45 seconds out of your monologue.
Thank you 🙏
You guys know Friedman doesn’t do Boras. JC
It's good to see Ned we miss him on the network

Sasaki and Teo coming back. Adames is in IMO
soto aint going to the Dodgers, that would be a bad move for the Dodgers.
I love the Dodgers, and hope they 3peat. But you can’t compare teams from the 20s, 50s etc, because they didn’t have playoffs. Any team can get hot or slump during a short series. So much harder to win it all now, let alone 2 or 3 in a row.
Soto is coming to giants
Good, the Dodgers don’t want or need him.
Soto wants to win SF isn’t
Haha. How? Larry is a cheap dufus. Zero chance.
As a Dodger fan, I would love Soto to go to SF. The division and rivalry could use it. Would be a blast seeing SF, LA and SD and even AZ fight for it every year.
The giants can have him and he’ll become as irrelevant as Mike Trout.
Nah. I’d rather get two for a couple more years. Then maybe develop others like pages, rushing.
Good plan.
The players won't go for a high limit. More likely to go for a low cap. Low cap should be 100 million right now. 5 teams were under that level in 2024. Have it go up each year by the same percentage as the salary cap. You can go under but then you pay a fine to the league. As a secondary incentive if a team has a losing record for 10 straight years the team goes for sale so a new owner has a chance to turn things around.
Good take!
Soto doesn't fit well with Dodgers team chemistry! Dodgers have very humble All Star players in Betts, Ohtani & Freeman.
That’s a great point.
My dream offseason if we landed sasaki would be
Sasaki
Adames
Teo
Treinen
And if they can bring back buehler on the cheap I’d be okay but he’s not a need
And if we don’t land sasaki then I think we need either burnes or fried and bring back teo or get adames.. only way i see us bringing in 2 bags of that quality would be if sasaki picks us because they’d save a lot of money on SP considering how little he’d be making
So why can't some other teams do the same thing
Why would he want to go to the Giants?
Soto is fine if he is 300+
Don’t you think that’s a bit low? He declined 440 from nationals
They can have em
Not a fan of Soto or adames?
I think Soto is not worth ,Ohtani price.Does he pitch?Does he bring big money from Japan?Did Soto have MVP?Soto should be less than Ohtani and Judge.
Soto is not the type of player the Dodgers want
How come?
Wow, I’m sold on Soto after hearing you guys . Soto is only 26. They need to get younger not older and Soto is young and wants to win . I like Teo but he’s 31 . As a life long dodger fan , signing Soto at a reasonable contract, dodgers should sign him

Soto is going to play with his boyhood buddy VALAD Guerrero Jr. it's a done deal. GO JAYS
Dodgers don't need Soto...
no need for Soto and doesn't fit in . didn't fit in at SD either. Soto stay in NY and who cares what $ he gets as long as not a Dodger. Likely he will get 550 12 yr. but not even close to having impact and skill set of Shohei

Great comment appreciate the insight.
