Part 5/8:
One of the underlying themes in this entire situation is the idea of creating a well-run organization that players want to join. The Dodgers have cultivated a winning culture, evident in their capacity to recruit star players willing to defer money for a chance to compete at a higher level. Other teams with less competitive rosters should take heed; it’s crucial for them to foster an inviting atmosphere, much like the one the Dodgers offer.
The frustration stemming from other fan bases likely reflects a deeper envy—a yearning for their teams to adopt a similar winning mentality. The Dodgers' model presents an opportunity for splendid imitation rather than hostility. If teams like the Blue Jays or Tigers could make similarly bold moves, the dynamics of the league might shift dramatically.
