yeah, this was my comment elsewhere--we start with the one part of the family that was actually helping the organization?
yeah, as i said in the other thread...it's convenient to say this now. it's a bad look, imo. and i'm on his side in the early going.
I think there’s likely truth on both sides, the Buss bros didn’t want to sell, they’re not happy about it, there’s clearly been power struggles between the siblings, between Rob and Magic, between Rob, Jeanie, the Rambii and other factions, between the FO and Klutch, and on and on. I do see Rob as a common factor here though, putting aside that I’m not his biggest fan, he does seem to me like someone who wants to hold onto his power and he’s at this time made himself pretty untouchable. Honestly maybe we regret it in time, but as of now I look forward to the day all these people are gone and we move on. For me there’s too much stink there, need to start pretty fresh. All that said it still is a bit sad and an end of an era at the same time, I’m sure Joey and Jesse would have loved to run the franchise into the future like their dad, just never got the chance. Irwin made a good point on his live show with Daman and Raj just now though, Jeanie has no more shields or people to throw out if things go bad, it’s just her faction left now, her, Rob, the Rambii, maybe a couple others.
The ESPN, and Baseball America. This is due to a combination of strategic investment, efficient development, and a strong international and domestic draft pipeline. While other teams may spend heavily on payroll, the Dodgers are recognized as a gold standard for their ability to develop talent from within. Consistent Top Rankings: The Dodgers' farm system has been a fixture in the top-10 for years, with MLB.com ranking it #1 in August 2025. Efficient Development: The franchise is praised for its efficient development, efficiently using its resources to develop talent from lower rounds of the draft and international signees. Strategic Investment: While their payroll is large, the Dodgers are also noted for consistently investing in their farm system through various developmental avenues, which allows them to remain competitive long-term. Strong Track Record: The farm system's success is reflected in the major league team's consistent playoff appearances and World Series wins over the last decade. They have back to back world series championships and the best farm system in baseball, which is probably a large part attributed to the scouting department they revamped in 2014 (see previous post). They like to win on the margins and leave no stones unturned, IMO. They swing big in FA, but also re-invest in the right areas to sustain the winning for years at a time. The NBA is different, yes, but I think we're in good hands.
