The Los Angeles Dodgers’ latest blockbuster has Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash admitting an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous. Evan argues that New York’s teams have the money and resources to operate like Andrew Friedman’s machine, while Shaun says the Dodgers’ growing dominance proves Major League Baseball’s system is fundamentally broken.
They clash over whether a salary cap would have prevented Los Angeles from landing Tarik Skubal, whether Rob Manfred benefits from the outrage, and whether anyone can stop the Dodgers from returning to the World Series. Plus, the Mets’ disastrous Freddy Peralta trade gets a painful retrospective, Evan apologizes to Mike Hampton, and the Yankees’ reported willingness to trade Will Warren for Adrian Morejon reveals how aggressively Brian Cashman pursued bullpen help.
