Dave Roberts believes that fans are upset over the Dodgers register, just jealous

WITH Los -Angeles Dodgers They responded to their victory in the World Series, giving their legs even more firmly to gas, collecting one of the most talented lists in recent memory in this off -season. Moreover New -York Mets. They also found one loophole to the other to use the taxes on the delayed payments or the Japanese talent pipeline, which was produced by Chehi Okhtani, Yamob Jamamoto, and the agreement on a favorable Sasaki Agreement for the last two winter wines.

At the moment, it is difficult to understand how most, if not all, from other league teams may not be behind, both in short and long relationships. But Dodgers brass Does not want to hear Everything they destroy sports, or as Rob Manfred must enter to provide more parity. The way manager Dave Roberts sees is really guilty of all others who do not try hard enough.

To get additional news and rumors, see the work of MLB Insider Robert Murray Baseballsign up for SatelliteOur weekly MLB newsletter, and join the discord to get an internal scoop between now and MLB off.

Roberts appeared on the MLB Network Radio on the weekend, where, of course, the theme of the off -season expenses of Dodgers appeared. Considering the critics about the historical accumulation of his team’s talents, he had a simple answer: you are just jealous.

Roberts at least had the decency of admitting that he is a little biased here, but everything is certainly sounded like a person who had it with justification of everyone else.

“I definitely come from, apparently, a biased point of view as a team of a larger market. I think it is really impressive, and how it should be as much as we put our money in a ball club, players. I think that disappointment for fans wants their teams to have the same motivation as our property. I think the evil empire, people like to take root against someone. I still think that teams would like to invest in teams, not sit in their hands. “

In one sense, Roberts makes sense. It is not guilty that, say, New -York Yankees, Chicago Kubs or Boston Red Soks – teams that make money to transfer a fist, and belong to billionaires – did not invest in their lists to the extent that Los -Angeles has. There is no reason why Hal Steinbrenner did not sank for such money in a salary in New York, or why Brian Cashman should withdraw from the contract of Marcus Stroman to continue to modernize the team.

And even the teams of the smaller markets share some guilt here, managing insufficiently capitalized property groups, which are quite happy, preparing checks for income distribution, and then tossed their hands when fans ask them to take them seriously. However, Roberts’s framing is a little dishonest here: of course, complaints come from the desire of other teams to be as competitive as the doors, but that is the whole point. Los -Angeles has access to the level of competitiveness that not everyone else and you cannot blame fans of being indignant.
