MLB is so damaged. The Dodgers do this … and after that there’s the Pirates. Absolutely no competitive balance WHATSOEVER. Outrageous.

The pressure is definitely on for the Dodgers now. With Yamamoto signing up with a currently stacked lineup, anything less than a World Series win would be frustrating for Dodgers fans.
The 2024 season is definitely appearing like the year for the Dodgers, however just time will inform if they can measure up to the buzz.
