CLEARWATER, FL — So, in the span of two-three hours on Sunday as all 30 Major League Baseball teams begin Spring Training in Arizona and Florida, two established superstars publicly praised the back-to-back World Series championship-winning Los Angeles Dodgers and their efforts of spending year-on-year.
One was Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres and the other was Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies, both of whom are the face of their respective franchise—leading the organization on-and-off the field as it shows with each of their lucrative 10+ year contracts of $300 or more million.
“I f—ing love it,” Machado said to reporters in Arizona. “Every team should be doing it. That s— is f—ing great for the game. I think every team has the ability to do it. I hope all 30 teams learn from that.”
“I love what the Dodgers do, obviously. I mean, they pay the money, they spend the money,” Harper told reporters in Florida. “I mean, they’re a great team. They run their team like a business, and they run it the right way…
Each team in baseball has an opportunity to do the same thing. Maybe not at the upper echelon of money, but they can draft, they can develop, they can trade. I think a lot of teams can do that in baseball, and they should.”
