This should be an interesting discussion...
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to bring in great players. They seem to be the prime destination for so many of the stars of the game. They have also won two World Series since 2020.
The Dodgers have finished in first place every year since 2013, except 2021 (a season where they won 106 games and finished one game out).
As a Yankees fan, do you wish the Yankees operated more like the Dodgers?

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Will keep it simple. HELL YES.
Steinbrenner and his pet jackal Levine eat my brain.
Of course the Yankees should do what the Dodgers do in terms of structuring contracts, but that is not going to shift the balance that leads top Japanese players to want to play for the Dodgers, which is principally a social phenomenon, not a financial one.
BTW, anyone complaining that present value is an improper measure for the value of a contract with deferred payments, I'm still waiting for you to send me $1 million now, which I will put in a trust that will expire in 10 years with the principal of $1 million going back to you then, while I get to keep the income earned through government bond interest.
Dodgers signed Tanner Scott. 2025 season is already over. Not renewing YES.
Of course, but it should be quite obvious that the Dodger have replaced the Yankees in this era of MLB
YES! I would love the Yankees to have winning, not payroll caps and luxury taxes, as their number one priority.
I feel the Yankees have had a strong winter, but they are not complete yet and, as so often happens, discussion isn't on making the team the best, it's on the luxury tax.
Regarding deferred money, if it's such a great plan, the Yankees, and every other team, can also do what the Dodgers do.
