I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Toronto Blue Jays payroll is $255 million. Toronto is not a small market and the 2025 Blue Jays have MLB's fifth highest payroll.

I hope all the Dodgers fans that constantly hate on Dave Roberts realize he's accomplished more than any Dodgers manager ever and has a resume that's up there with some of the greatest managers in history. He's going to walk into Cooperstown.

Spending a💰doesn’t guarantee success. Look at the Mets! HOWEVER, it makes it easier to fix mistakes. Dodgers spend and miss and can easily go buy someone else. Pirates can’t fix mistakes with money. System isn’t fair but small markets can win, it’s just harder for them to do so.

And look at their out of conference schedules when trying to figure out why this is the case! It’s not hard to figure out. They intentionally schedule easy OOC games (literally 0 P4 this year). They win those but can’t hang once forced to play better competition. Rinse, repeat.

I know Toronto fans are going to do this forever now - argue they got screwed out of a World Series title when they blew a 3-2 series lead going home and a lead in game 7. Also, Smith’s foot did retap the plate and OUT was the right call.

Conventional wisdom says the Colts should destroy the Steelers, but this also feels like a typical game a Mike Tomlin team will win just as everyone is getting on him.
