Bryce Harper: ‘Only losers complain about’ Dodgers’ editions

There was a lot of dismay and grinding of teeth about all the expenses and the takeover that the Los Angeles Dodgers have reached in recent years. From fans, from other teams and also parts of the media.

However, the Dodgers only use the resources they have available to them, and there is an argument that many other teams could do the same: they are not the Dodgers’. Mistake, Exactly, they have produced a culture of profit in the past ten years and are now the goal for those who want to be part of something like that have spent a lot of money, but the players are also happy to get them from them instead of other teams.

At least the star of Philadelphia Phillies’ Star Bryce Harper understands. As He told MLB.com Before the game on Friday against the Dodgers: “I don’t know if people like it, but I have the feeling that only losers complain about what they do. I think they are a great team. They are a great organization.”

At some point the Dodgers were not a “great organization”. They had an owner, Frank McCourt, who was practically forced by Commissioner Bud Selig for the damage he was concerned with MLB and Dodgers. The final straw was the sale of television rights for less than her. Since then, however, things have changed, and when the team that was ready to take over Mookie Betts when the Boston Red Sox wanted to continue in a salary surcharge from him, and the team who was ready to add the additional year to Freddie Free Agent deal – a year in which the Atlanta Braves would not give its long -term star.

A consistent commitment to the profit that is powered by a front office that produces both talents on the farm and contains more from the free agency and trade – that is the “great organization” to which Harper refers, and it is the envy of the rest of the league and the reason that players like Shohei Ohtani have selected the Dodgers over others. The money is part of it, yes, but there is more than that.

The complaint about the Dodgers is a losing mentality, also because they have been winners for a long time and other teams also want to be winners. You should remove a page from the Dodgers book instead of criticizing it if you want something for yourself: Sure, the Pittsburgh pirates do not exceed the luxury tax threshold with their resources, but you, and others who mostly sit in idle or hope that things are right if it is also about things.

If the Dodgers can turn their low point over a decade in just more than a decade, other teams could strive to do the same.
