Why though? They're extremely high risk contracts.
The Nats have been doing it for years, and isn't that more or less what Bobby Bonilla did, just not right when he signed his deal?

Not when you have the kind of money the Dodgers have.
They probably already put the money in escrow and the only reason they did it was to reduce their luxry tax bill and be able to add other players.
The fact both bullpens got noticeably leakier in the respective LCSs (especially the Yanks pen) is concerning for both. The series could be an ugly mess 4-3 someone if the pens begin to implode moreYankees pitching is there one advantage on paper but they have been lucky going up against sub par offenses.
Dunno if the Dodgers let them off the hook
The luxury tax works just fine other than letting LA circumvent the spirit of last off season. It needs more teeth.Just came here to say this. This was the stupidest and lamest outcome possible and all it took was nearly $700 million in combined team salaries. Whatever MLB. Bask in the glow of your barrage of advertisements to the teams with the biggest bandwagon following in the country.
MLB needs a salary cap. Like 20 years ago. And we dont have one because this is what we'd have every year if MLB had its way
I think only a crazy in the head player would do what Ohtani did anyway. I don't forsee a North American or Latin player ever thinking that way and saying let me leave all this money on the table with inflation
Please Dodgers win. Please. Just god damnit. Win.
