“THE DODGER WAY”
===========

They have been pioneers forever in baseball, in player acquisitions, the Stadium, the free agent contracts, and the trades made.

They are the flagship team in the National League.

They lead baseball in expenditures this off season.
Prior to that they pulled off blockbuster trades (Adrian Gonazalez-Mookie Betts)
LA landed great free agents (Freddie Freeman).
The Dodgers won the bidding wars (Ohtani-Yamamoto-Sasaki).

They pioneered players roles that changed the game, Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuala and more.

They are at the head of the class in the deferred money category with what they did with the Shohei Ohtani deal.

And now this off season, where they rewrote the record book.

As of this hour the Dodgers payroll (318M) more additions are coming.
Their luxury tax number as of today is (378M) with it likely to go up.
They have deferred a record (1.03B) in salaries to 12 players
They paid out (295M) in signing bonuses this winter.

And as they prepare to go to Camelback Ranch to open Cactus League-Spring Training, they have a 23-man pitching staff of experience they are preparing to put out there on the mound.

From Cy Young Award winners to promising phenoms and everyone in between.  All have won games in LA over the last couple of years.  A number are coming off arm surgeries.  But all have proven in the past they can win up here.

It’s staggering the array of starting pitching-relief pitching they have:

GLASNOW.            KERSHAW.               KOPECH
SNELL                    KNACK                      TREINEN
YAMAMOTO           WROBLESKI             PHILLIPS
SASAKI                   STONE                      SCOTT
OHTANI                   GROVE                     YATES
MAY                         SHEEHAN                BRASIER
MILLER                   RYAN                        VESIA
GRATEROL               BANDA

Just asking this question, to Padres-Giants-Arizona-Rockies fans?

Is the season already over in the NL West? Do you want to play the season in the NL West?  Is this good for baseball, what the Dodgers are doing in the NL West?

It’s the Dodger Way.
