Dodgers Offered Bryce Harper $45 mil - Their Minor Leaguers? Scraps

Aloha, everybody,

The Dodgers' $45 million offer to Bryce Harper has shown how much they will print money to land one player. Lots of fans were happy to hear the Dodgers were willing to do that. 

That generous offer got me to thinking about something else. It also highlighted their (and all MLBs) resistance to pay a living wage to minor league ballplayers. 

Yasiel Puig Trade is Part of the Master Plan, but Not the Plan Fans Want

Aloha, everybody, 

The Dodgers traded away Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Alex Wood and Kyle Farmer in what many believe is the first step of a Master Plan toward acquiring a huge free agent, such as Bryce Harper or A.J. Pollack. 

Oh, it’s a Master Plan, alright. It’s just not the one you’re imagining.

Aloha, and Merry Christmas, everybody!
