Is any of that coming from Dodgers' fans though? What are they saying?

I'm loving it!
Yet, I do think there should be more regulation, but that ship has sailed. It's like college sports now; once you let the lid off, there is no putting it back on.

I don't mind it at all. They will be a fun team to watch and root against. As already stated, they're basically the new Yankees.

Also, no salary cap allows players to earn what they're worth...let the other poor billionaire owners open up their wallet if they want big name players

What is ruining baseball is the cheap ass billionaires who own teams who don’t want to spend money to put a great team on the field. They’d rather hold an asset that appreciates in value year after year after year even if they are bad and don’t make the playoffs. It’s like one of us buying a house in a nice neighborhood and refusing to do any maintenance on it, knowing full that in 10 years we will sell it to a developer at a huge profit and he can knock the house down and build a new house in a desirable neighborhood. Those are the aholes ruining baseball. Every owner in baseball could afford to spend money like the Dodgers do.

I agree. The revenue sharing has not amounted to increased competitiveness and there should be enforcement from MLB for these teams to actually spend the money to become competitive.

That being said I've never seen a player get better/play better because he's paid more.
