Many baseball fans have taken offense to what the Los Angeles Dodgers have done this winter. Unlike many defending champions, the Dodgers chose to be one of the most active teams this offseason.
The numerous blockbuster signings were unprecedented. The star talent on the roster is laughable. And perhaps most vexing, no other organization has matched the Dodgers’ acquisitions this offseason.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes the reason baseball fans are angry actually stems from jealousy.
“I certainly come from probably a biased perspective as a bigger-market team. I think it’s really impressive and the way it should be as far as us putting our money into the ball club, into the players,” Roberts told MLB Network Radio.
