Quote from: PointWarrior on October 30, 2025, 04:24:12 PMYes, almost as silly as defending the Dodgers payroll at every given opportunity?

I'm not "defending" anything. I state facts - this is the way it is, and this is the way it's gonna be, and if that bothers you too much you need to find a different pastime so it doesn't drive you crazy.

You get all emotional. That's silly.

The Dodgers drew over 4 million fans this year they made a lot of money. They spend it on quality players. No need to defend their payroll. They make money, they spend it. Pretty simple.

Ok. Not really the point though...

Are we sure that's true?  I saw his base was $760K this year, not including the $4MM signing bonus he got when drafted.

Yes. Most of his salary was earned in the Minors.

I googled the powerful Marvel Comics supervillain after reading his name in this thread. I legitimately apologize for  trying to make a reference for which I have no context. For all I know, Thanos could be much closer to "Playoff Yelich," than the Dodgers.

My point is I don't remember reading about a salary cap and revenue sharing during the first 90ish pages of this thread. The discussion seemed to start right around Turang not getting hit by the pitch in the 9th inning of NLCS G1. To me, that seems silly.

I think I misunderstood your phrasing.  Made it seem like his minor league salary was minimal (like many minor leaguers) and then he only made a bit in the majors due to his short time since being called up.  Not that the portion of his total salary this year that was made up in the majors was the $57K.  Even if he never was called up, he would have made almost as Sal Frelick did this year.

I thought Thanos was a brother of Giannis.
