Exactly. Far more often than not teams that spend more money win more often. And teams that can just spend whatever they want with no regard for spending limits will generally get all the best free agents. If anyone thinks any other team was gonna spend anywhere close to what the Dodgers paid for Tucker then youre in your own realtiy. The Dodgers gave Tucker the type of money that tells other teams, go fuck yourself, we will pay whatever it takes to keep them away from you. And without any rules to say otherwise they will continue to do it. Fortunately baseball is in a fairly unique position where even the worst teams can win 40% of games. The worst teams in the NBA or NFL will win 10-15% of the time. So even when youre the Dodgers and you spend way more than anyone else you still have a decent chance of losing a series. The Dodgers losing absolutely does not change the narrative of money buys championships.
