Ricky Cobb breaks down why the outrage over the Dodgers’ spending is completely misplaced — and why Major League Baseball actually needs a super team right now.

Instead of blaming Los Angeles for playing by the rules, maybe the real problem is MLB’s broken economic model, soft salary penalties, and a league that’s been coasting without urgency. Super teams drive ratings, attention, and relevance — something baseball desperately needs in 2026 and beyond. And money doesn't mean you win in October.

If a work stoppage is coming, it won’t be because the Dodgers tried to win. It’ll be because MLB refused to fix the system.

Don’t hate the Dodgers.

Hate the denial.
