The dog$ have been prohibitive WS favs by the Wise Guys every yr for the last 13 yrs once Pimp $eized the reins.
Same deal with cash payroll when you add in lux tax and deferred payroll. Trust me, I know.
It's gotten unprecedented, as Pimp added $1.4 Billion in total new player contracts following the 2023 season, with another $450 million in total new contracts after the 2024 season. And, absolutely no reason to believe it's not going to continue to feature Monopoly money full bore ahead what with Guggenheim having more than $345 Billion in assets under mgt.
The yanks have never approached the Dollar$' payroll of this current decade. Not even close. And, paying Ohtani a salary of $2 mil this yr, for Pimp's $700 million 10-yr man, is the outrage of all outrages.
You're trying to establish a parallel that isn't remotely comparable.............but if you insist that the dog$ are playing on a level(sic) playing field, go for it while I let loose some belly laughs.....
