The Yankees reportedly offered $300 million for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. They didn’t get him. The Dodgers did for $325 million. And what they got in return is the best pitcher in baseball. He had a World Series for the ages vs the Blue Jays: Game 2 — 9 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 8 K, W Game 6 — 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 6 K, W Game 7 — 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 K, W Three wins, a World Series MVP and his second ring. When the Dodgers signed him, people called it reckless, giving $325 million for a pitcher who had never thrown an MLB pitch. Now he’s the best pitcher on the planet, and the Dodgers have back-to-back titles. Yeah, people say the Dodgers are ruining baseball with money. But here’s the truth: every team had a chance. The Blue Jays almost got Ohtani. The Braves let Freeman walk. Boston moved Mookie Betts. And the Yankees stopped at $300 million. The Dodgers didn’t. And that’s why they’re holding another trophy, with Yamamoto’s name etched all over it. #mlb #baseball #dodgers...
