How do the Dodgers afford their PR with the huge contracts to Betts Seager Bellinger Jansen Buehler Kershaw et al? Are they over the cap?
Not sure if serious, but Buehler, Bellinger, and Seager don't have big contracts relative to their production. Buehler hasn't even hit arbitration yet. A huge part of the Dodgers' budgeting right now is that most of their rotation hasn't even hit arbitration yet.
Yes, they're over the luxury tax this year, but by less than a million; their (unadjusted for the short season) payroll was $50 million less than the Yankees, although Price opting out of the season helped that math a lot.
