Here's a link to a 2013 article that discusses the settlement. This seems like it should have been a bigger deal back then. https://web.archive.org/web/20201125213826/https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-xpm-2013-jun-13-la-sp-0614-dodgers-tv-20130614-story.html

The Quote is from the LA Times Article. Is the TLDR version of this whole thing that the Dodgers are paying revenue sharing based on $3B of TV money over 25 years instead of $8.35B of TV money over 25 years?

Big money will always protect big money. People with massive assets and huge tracts of land will always have the inside track on moving money, getting loans, earning interest, hiding money etc. The average person doesn't even know the regulatory rules that govern what you can and can't do with massive piles of money. They just operate under a different set of rules than 99% of people, and won't actually feel financial distress if their net worth has 9 zeroes instead of 10.

I know not to hope for a Joey Ortiz start against a righty. But I’m going to anyway.

My kids call him DRL Dave Raven-Legweak

It's weird how deadline day messes around with player value. We still have a 40 man roster crunch. Black for peanuts and cracker jack?

This was a lot more fun when we were gonna trade JJ Abrams for Cameron Crowe.

I would have preferred Crowe and Knoth

That's insane. No.

It's funny how the brain works. I've been following CJ Abrams all year. He's on my fantasy team. But as soon as I saw JJ Abrams, I could not recall CJ for the life of me and had to go look at my roster.

When Skubal and Soriano got traded, arguably every other available pitcher would slot in as our fifth best option. We can debate whether we should/could have gotten one of those two, but once that ship sailed, "innings eater" is exactly what we need. Someone to keep Miz, Harry, Hendo, and Dro fresh for October.

With Skubal and Soriano gone, I kind of hope we don’t make any trades. There aren’t really any upgrades out there, unless we go huge for someone with years of control remaining.

I would have offered Pena and a couple guys outside our top 30. what they actually traded comps pretty well to Jett and a couple outside our top 30

Dang. That’s a very beatable package.
