The latest episode of Bucco Brew dives into a heated offseason debate: are the Los Angeles Dodgers ruining baseball, or are they simply taking advantage of a broken system? Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down how the Dodgers’ success is less about wrongdoing and more about a league structure that allows huge payroll gaps between teams like L.A. and Pittsburgh. The guys explore whether a salary cap could ever work in MLB, what truly makes the Dodgers elite, and why small-market clubs like the Pirates are stuck playing catch-up.
They also touch on the Pirates’ offseason outlook—discussing Konnor Griffin and Bubba Chandler earning Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Year honors—and predict what the team’s first big move might be as the GM Meetings approach.
