00:00What do you think the current landscape of Major League Baseball is going to show us over the 2026 season?
00:06Do you believe there's going to be a lockout?
00:09Well, I don't know, lockout, strike, whatever you want to call it.
00:14I think there's it's almost destined to be a work stoppage.
00:19You know, the disparities of teams and the salaries of players and the TV contracts that aren't existing
00:27and the betting situation that is the big, you know, pink elephant in the room.
00:34I mean, there are a lot of things that need to be worked out.
00:37And I'm not sure they have time in one year.
00:41We should have heard about negotiations that started 12 months ago,
00:46because this is going to be a very difficult negotiation.
00:50Do you think the Dodgers and what they're doing right now, Bobby, is good for baseball, in your opinion?
00:55Spending all the money, Andrew Friedman has done a hell of a job building that baseball team.
00:59But is this a Dodger problem or is this a baseball problem?
01:04Well, I think that the Dodgers are just exasperating the situation, but it's not a problem.
01:11Each of these teams are supposed to work independently.
01:14That's why they have antitrust law exemption.
01:18They're supposed to do what they want to do to put the best team on the field to be the most competitive that can be.
01:23Now, when you get the Dodgers with two of their players, you know, having more salary than an entire 26-man roster from other teams,
01:36I think that's causing a lot of concern, and that concern is justified.
