Let me start with the obvious. The Dodgers want to get under the Luxury Tax Threshold this season! Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has stated that there is no mandate to stay under the tax threshold Guggs & Company, but also noted, “there are benefits to doing it.” However, the Dodgers went over the luxury threshold in both 2021 and 2022, meaning if they go over again, they would be charged as third-time offenders. The penalties for going over three straight years or longer would be a 50% tax on every dollar spent over the $233 million threshold.
We Haven’t Come This Far…. to Only Come This Far!
