Come on now. As a Dodgers Fan, I am compassionate toward the difficulties a small market team like the Yankees must face when trying to compete with a team like the Dodgers. Hal, I for one am on your side. I hope someday, you can claw yourself out of these financially difficult times and put a competitive team on the field. 😆
Steinbrenners comments are pathetic. Yankees are sitting on more money then anyone. Richest franchise in the game. History of outspending everyone by wide margin. Now there going to complain after the dodgers are spending money. Give me a break.
While I’d love the Yankees to spend money like there’s no tomorrow, the organization’s value, which is the highest in baseball, is not the same as liquid cash. Owners like Steve cohen or groups like the Guggenheim group have billions of dollars at their disposal from sources outside of the baseball team. The Yankees aren’t owned by a multi billionaire financier. They’re owned by a guy who inherited this business from his father
Oh so the Dodgers overcome injuries every year and still won the World Series? What in 2022 and 2023 and the years back? Why didn't they win, since you say they always overcome injuries?
@@Wesley-zp7sy Ok, just because they overcame injuries last year, that doesn't mean that'll happen again this year. Tell me what team is winning multiple championships while missing key players because of injuries during the playoffs? I'll wait.
@@samuelsandate9804 Literally the dodgers will LMAO. Thats the reason they’ve acquired so many good players. Their whole rotation got injured last year, so they said screw it, lets build the most depth of any team ever to prepare in case of injuries. The dodgers are the most equipped to do what you just said doesn’t happen. And when they do, you’ll cry about it. Dodgers are the new yankees !
@Wesley-zp7sy New to baseball? Games still have to get played, and players have to get hot in the playoffs and get it done. That's not a guarantee. Depth helps but it doesn't guarantee anything
If Shohei and Yamamoto wanted to join the Yankees, Steinbrenner would be more than happy to pay what they ended up getting. His problem is players don’t want to join his organization. Nothing to do with dodgers out spending other teams
The last bit about injuries is just pure copium. The Yankees were fully healthy and lost to a team that had 3 healthy starters with every other reliever/position player being held together by duct tape and twine. Did he forget Freddie Freeman was playing through a hairline finger fracture, a busted ankle and rib cartilage damage and yet demolished them for 5 nights?
Honestly, props to the Dodgers. They built an unbeatable super team. They not only have the best major league roster by a wide margin, they have more depth than any other team and they still have a great farm system to trade from. I'd be shocked if they don't win at least 3 World Series the next 5 years.
@@samuelsandate9804 it happens but why would he say “they have to play a full season dealing with injuries to win it” like they didn’t just do that, against his own team?
@@Wolf-wc1js That was a little exaggerating what he said, but then again the Dodgers overcoming injuries last year, doesn't mean they'll overcome them next season.
@ they have more quality depth than any team in the majors. They could lose their entire starting rotation and be set still. Plus, they still have a top 5 farm system to trade from to fill in whatever holes they need.
Hal’s a joke. He was/is refusing to spend until Stroman’s contract is moved, despite glaring holes at 3b & lefty relievers. God forbid he goes over the Cohen tax despite having the most recognizable logo in the world
I am against salary cap because it only gives lazy and unimaginative owners an easy way out to yield profits. Furthermore, it’s antithetical to growing the game of baseball worldwide. “Luxury tax” on the other hand is a positive way to bring financial equilibrium to small market clubs. WBC finals brought more revenues to baseball than most of World Series. Hal Steinbrenner should negotiate with MLB to participate in equity shares of WBC and should actively participate in this event in search for revenue growth of his club. Baseball has a huge opportunity to grow globally. It’s just THE LACK OF IMAGINATION of owners that’s preventing the potential growth.
4:50: Scott's comment reminds me of the Brooklyn Dodgers' ownership situation after Charles Ebbets died. Ebbets divided ownership of the team among a lot of different family members in his will, some of whom didn't care about baseball at all, only that they kept getting what was theirs. The Dodgers didn't become the Dodgers who kept winning the National League until Walter O'Malley bought them out and unified the ownership situation under his hand.
@@ScottyBraun-FoulTerritory Thanks, Scott! There's a book called Forever Blue that dives deep into Walter O'Malley moving the Dodgers to LA, and it has a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that I certainly never knew about, and is probably not widely understood even today. Worth a read, if you're interested in this sort of thing.
@@TheTEN24 hey as a Dodger fan, want to share a laugh over this? Steinbrenner is acting cheap meanwhile our owners care to spend. The Yankees of George Steinbrenner are gone as are the days of McCourt and Wilpon
Why not at least for teams to get revenue sharing, they MUST Spend at least the share amount they receive or 10% more than the share. If they don't spend the revenue amount they don't get that money for the owners to pocket.
Dodgers just lapped the Yankees. They are now the world’s team and have cornered the Asian fan base. They now have a bigger checkbook and Yankees need to adapt or accept a new reality.
You mean East Asia. Sorry fam,I but the Yankees still have namebrand presence in The Philippines since after WWI/literally before the Great Depression. 😂
Agree 100% with AJ. I'm living in Valencia, Spain since 2023. Here they don't know much about baseball. The hats that you see all over this city are #1 NY Yankees, #2 LA Dodgers.
The Dodgers have the benefit of having revenue from the Japenese fan base. We can't dismiss this! So, if Hal really wants to win and not just compete, he's gonna have to spend and also come up with creative ways to generate more cash flow! It's seems to me that Hal is just concerned with the business aspect and not the winning aspect! Why else would you penny pinch?
No one wants Stroman. Forget the money, He’s not worth the headache. He has a track record of this behavior. Has issues everywhere he goes. It’s not the teams. Not the fans etc. it’s him. He’s a cancer and teams are better off without him.
hal is a disgrace, sold out the pinstripes to have a sponsor patch on them and is crying about not having money, give me a break no wonder why the yankees have become a joke
I think it's more that the company that owns the Dodgers, Guggenheim is worth $330 Billion dollars compared to Hal's $1.5 Billion. It's still A LOT, but I think that's the discrepancy. Dodgers can essentially spend recklessly and still have liquid money to keep the team afloat, while Hal is fully dependent on the yankees for his money
This has nothing to do with the sides, but I like how the Dodgers are showing up for the weekend with two full suitcases. Now we're all talking about them behind their back but also in front of their face. We all see those 9 toothbrushes and hope he forgot the toothpaste Excellent Drama.
This is just a ploy to get the end game prize, which is a salary cap. Baseball should have a salary floor, to promote competition. Then there will be less angst over welfare receiving teams, and more money will go to on field talent, for those teams. the salary cap only benefits the owners, and will not improve your favorite team, competition wise. See NY Jets and Washington Wizards( Which are Salary cap franchises). Teams are bad because the front office and owners are bad. Not because they are outspent by another team. These owners in their other business ventures, decry regulation and champion the mantra of "let the markets decide", yet they don't want to adhere to those standards in sports.
7:30 Seriously, ppl actively keeping track of "omg this guy unfollowed this acct!" and "holy crap, this guy liked that post!" and all those social media minutiae is something I'll never fully comprehend.
that's a really tough look. why not just be like yeah we can keep up with their spending, we offered Soto 700something mil and we did a lot after missing out on him. losing quote, I don't get it
The amount of money being deferred by the Dodgers is getting out of hand. But as a Yankees fan, Hal can't be complaining about the spending power of the Dodgers when the Yankees are one of the big money spenders in the league. However, the MLB needs to find solutions to spread out the talent more evenly.
The yanks are famous but let’s be honest Most ppl around the world don’t buy official Yankee hats. They are not a fan of the team , they just know that the logo is famous.
I love you guys I really do but what don’t you understand about 350 billion is larger than 10 billion, they draw in the most revenue, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Dodgers owners net worth dwarfs the Yankees and every other team in baseball
I think he was trying to delegate and speak for the rest of the teams. But the thing about the other teams is they never spend and do the minimum or spend majority of their payroll to 1 or 2 players like the A's just did signing sevy.
I wish they spoke with bit more sense!!! i also wish they had an executive in the room to hear them. Last couple of decades, Yankees spent lot of money (money the franchise earned) for which these same players hated them. Now they are spending the same way, but they are just not spending same as Dodgers, so they are being hated again. What a world this is!!!! Do you guys even know, Dodgers ownership group is doing the same with Chelsea FC in English Premier League and they did not win anything yet.
So don’t address the elephant in the room that the dodgers ownership is worth 270billion and the Yankees are worth 3billion there is a huge delta!! The CBT doesn’t penalize the dodgers on deferment 100% and they should
i believe hal has to me more forward thinking than most owners seeing as he gas no intentions of selling the team. that being said i miss the evil empire using every advantage they had
Something has to change so the cheap owners spend their money on the teams. Cant have the team spend 0 to start the season. As for Yankees, being a Yankee fan I see what their problem is but they (Hal) ignore it.
Hal should be nervous. He has a team with the highest value of any sports franchise built upon accepting nothing less than excellence and is now trying to pivot fans to accept mediocrity through phrases like once you get to the playoffs it’s a crapshoot. Brand value can only go down with those circumstances.
Im tired of hearing about what george would do. How quickly we forget how terrible of a owner he actually was. People also forget that the run they went on in the 90's was because george was forced to step away. Had he been around im not sure if Yankees win that much
Goldschmidt will provide more at first base than Rizzo and our rookie did last year by far. Clay will not be better than Soto obviously offensively but don’t forget the Martian is gonna be playing Left. Verdugo was baaaad.
The dodgers have deferred over a billion dollars in payroll over the last two years, this is out of hand. If nothing is done about this, baseball should contract to the top ten markets.
Why is deferred money an issue? The luxury tax is calculated based on the annual average of the contract, not what is paid that year. So it's not a loophole to not paying the tax. If the player is OK with deferring the money, why is that an issue?
Sounds and behave like a trust fund baby, a 24 survey in other countries show NY logo is declining in fast pace for the younger generations in last 7 yrs
Hes trting to run a legit business i kind of understand the man and i must i lovemy yankees very much so that i name my dog BRONX is where the yankees are and play at
They will be. The Yankees will win 95+ games easily. They just don't even remotely compare to the Dodgers though. The World Series wasn't close, and now the Dodgers are 10x better.
Shocking that ex-players can't wrap their heads around owners not wanting to give players any random amount they demand. Were any of you complaining that they owners all lost money in 2020 and yet not a single player had to feel any of that pain whatsoever? Nah.
Hal is essentially already admitting defeat... and its not even the 5th inning yet
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice one!!

I'd rather give Trevor Bauer a chance on a league minimum deal than trade for Stroman.
@ same but everyone lost there chance again at him. He’s never coming back to the majors which is a shame. He already signed with a team in Japan.

And the funny thing is the NY hat people buy in Thailand, they just think it's New York hat, not even Yankees. That show how much merchs they sold.
The deferrals in the amount being done by the Dodgers, nobody else is doing it like them
