>The Giants’ managerial search seems to be nearing an end, with a surprising name emerging from the college ranks. The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, Brittany Ghiroli, and Ken Rosenthal report that “the Giants are closing in on hiring” University of Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as their next skipper. Vitello told The Athletic by text that “there is nothing to confirm” about the news, and the Giants also haven’t commented on the report.

Will he save the Giants?

I feel like it's mostly people that want a salary cap playing up a strawman argument that's easy to knock down-exaggerating the actual argument that cheap owners can spend more and turning it into everyone saying they should spend as much as the biggest markets.

>>151449364
Obviously some owners can and should spend more, but even if a smaller market could invest like 70% of their annual revenue into payroll, for some that's STILL less than what the Dodgers can throw out. The TV deal the Dodgers have ALONE is more than the revenue of some team's entirely. So even if those pesky greedy owners tried spending, they'd still get outbid.

Cheap owners can spend more and there are budgets at the deep end of MLB that are simply unattainable unless the org wants to operate at a loss (i.e., hope your good owner is on his deathbed)

Pepper jack fans absolutely hate the idea that other cheeses have good flavors and consistencies or that fans of those cheeses enjoying eating those cheeses instead of pepper jack. They are cheese totalitarians. To the average pepper jack fan, the only point of cheese is for pepper jack to be on every sandwich and for everyone else to be sad about it. They don’t understand why there are fans of other cheeses. If every other cheese in the the world was eradicated and the entire cheese industry just became 26 versions of pepper jack cheese on every sandwich and burger, pepper jack fans would just smile and say ‘pepper jack’ to themselves over and over and they’d never get bored.

I can see the larger markets ponying up more in penalty fees for exceeding spending limits and the floor being raised some at the bottom, but I doubt a cap is coming. A lockout would do too much damage to everyone's bottom line imo.

They still have a lot of profit that they could use and adapt though.
Like, many people think every contract will cost the same as Ohtani, he was basically worth two elite players, he was more than worth the money, but money isn't equivalent to talent most of the time and that's what people fail to realize, there will always be under valued talentthat are not being pursued that could complete your team and acquiring them or find them is as important of a skill as the team own talent.
That's why the dodgers are forming a dynasty right now, they are not only rich they have the "outside the game" skills to actually use the money efficiently, BUT it took them years to achieve these kind of skills.
If Shohei is willing to be paid 2m/year, team owners should be able to do the same if they want to win, otherwise there's nothing wrong with admitting that you just want to profit more than you want to win

>>151449837
>Like, many people think every contract will cost the same as Ohtani,
what you don't realize is that this contract is WHY the free agent market is inflated and will get worse. Juan Soto would not have been an 800 million dollar player if Ohtani didn't sign for 700 million. Kyle Tucker would not be estimated to be in the 400-500 million range if Ohtani didn't sign for 700 million. Every single free agent until changes are made, is going to be worth WAY more than they would've all because of this contract, even if they aren't making as much as him and it will keep getting worse. Tarik Skubal is already trending to be worth 400 million, Paul Skenes will probably be even higher, hell I'm betting even fucking Jazz will somehow end up being at least 300-400 million when he's a free agent next year. Most teams are not going to be able to afford these, so they get priced out of "marketable" players and will continue to fade away and see attendance drop even if they started winning more. The Mariners are 1 win away from a world series for the first time in history, won the division for the first time in over 20 years and they LOST attendance this year, because people aren't showing up to watch Jorge Polanco. Imagine the situation even less "popular" teams are in if this is what's happening to a team that's favored to make and possibly win the world series purely because it's just not as popular of a market as a New York or Los Angeles even though Seattle is a pretty good market itself.

>>151449773
There will be no cap. Owners will rattle their sabers, but players would fuck off and the game would be set back 3 decades.
>>151449837
A smaller enclosed issue is that Ohtani is so valuable to the Dodgers (I heard some people say he alone is NETTING the Dodgers $74M a year) that it further lessens the impact of CBT tax penalties. Good on GP for aggressively blowing past the fourth tier; I WISH my team would do this, but they don't have nearly the revenue flowing into the Dodgers. So what do you do? Do you make tax tiers even more punishing, which basically punishes every other team more since LA's revenue blows them out of the water? IMO, they need to make draft penalties more immediate. First level of the CBT, loss of 3rd round pick + pool money and -$1M from international signing pool, 2nd level is 2nd + 3rd round pick and -$2M from the signing pool, 3rd round, you get the idea. No resetting penalty bullshit, you go over the line you're in win-now mode.

I want a salary cap since it would shake things up. My ownies coming for that win

>>151450127
Mookie put in work defensively/hitting wise and so did Kike but game 4 was pretty huge.

>>151450261
>Juan Soto would not have been an 800 million dollar player if Ohtani didn't sign for 700 million
Teams are retards for thinking anyone but ohtani deserved that amount of money, is not like Juan Soto was close to what Shohei was offering, not even a little, just retard owners doing retarded things
>Most teams are not going to be able to afford these,
And that's fine, my point is that there are plenty of players that are being undervalued at all times, many of the players in the dodger team were very undervalued at some point until they joined the dodgers and obviously showed that money isn't everything.
People will always think teams need the big talent to win, but what you need to win is having ENOUGH talent, this isn't football, this isn't soccer, one player cannot carry you, two or three players with enough talent will win you more games than the most talented player ever.

>retard spends hours in a general he hates
That's worse lmao

Ohtani didn't get $700M except in meme terms, the contract's FPV is $460M. Spto was an absolutely disastrous contract for ROI but Cohen is going to run the Mets like a toy and DGAF about the losses

Tucker isn't re-signing

>>151450449
>many of the players in the dodger team were very undervalued at some point until they joined the dodgers and obviously showed that money isn't everything.
like who? The offer Betts got from the Red Sox was actually worth more yearly than what he makes on the Dodgers, he just didn't like it because it was for a shorter commitment. Freddie's deal was what he valued himself as and his agent said no just to send him to a big market. Teo wasn't worth much because he just sucked before his breakout year on the Dodgers, and even now I'm sure fans think he's still being paid too much for the mistakes he's made. Glasnow and Snell had their markets fucked because they were questionable and injury prone, which is why the Rays traded them. The only Dodger signing I can say was undervalued was Yams, but that's mainly because people didn't want to invest a ton on a guy who had never pitched in MLB since that's a risk, and they were partly right in 2024, if he was a free agent after 2024, he wouldn't have gotten nearly as much as what the Dodgers are paying him.

what a waste. dropped.

Opinion: I really think people are glazing Ohtani too hard. He's amazing but he still has to do more. But where would you rank him right now? Top 10-25?

>>151451041
entertainment value? 1
mlb loves him cuz he's fun to watch

>>151451041
if he retired right now he is maybe top 100, people are (rightfully) projecting his career into the top 10

>>151451041
He's literally 1 already. No one has done anything similar to what he did against the Brewers in game 4.

>>151451041
Top 69 is the best I can do.

>>151451041
somewhere between 10-15. gonna end up top 3 tho

>>151451041
I put him at about tree fitty

>>151450561
None of those guys are good outside Tucker. Insane that Keller was the Cubs closer at the end of the year, hes so shit.

Kyle Tucker will join the Dodgers on a deferred contract

>>151450839

>>151451256
he doesn't care about winning. he'll go somewhere for the money and less pressure

>>151451289

So the Dodgers
and less pressure
So the Dodgers since he will just be another superstar in the wheel.

>>151451289
future Oriole?

>>151451041
My baseball answer is he’s one of the best to ever do it and will be remembered as the best of this generation.

My /mlb/ answer is that he’s a thug and a gambler and a stat padder (for entertainment purposes).

>>151451041
>But where would you rank him right now?
He's not even top 20 in the league right now. Idgaf about the two-way meme

>>151451312

Absolutely disgusting how cheap the Ricketts are running the Cubs.

Why did you change the hash?

>>151451289
I know a team that only wins sometimes and makes the playoffs at random every few years…

Holy shit what a TV deal. Ohtani's contract will be paid in 3 years, the deferred contract shit is meaningless.

>>151451369
I just copy-pasted from Bleacher Report

>>151451401
Imagine if they renegotiated that while Ohtani was still under contract. Absolute insanity

>>151451335
Thank you for using "re-signing".

>>151451490

>>151451401

>>151451401
To put that into perspective, the Dodgers broadcast deal alone is worth more than 2/5ths of the league's revenue from every source (broadcast deal, national broadcast cut, merchandise split, gate split, concessions, parking, etc.)

>>151451401
>the deferred contract shit is meaningless.
That wasn't done on the Dodgers part, almost certainly Ohtani/his agent asked for it to be deferred so when he's retired and living on his Hawaiian super-compound he can save 1%/year on income tax.

>>151451510
wait until espn buys the rights

>>151451121
not true. clarence “dusty” mcgraw of the cincinnati haymakers pitched 17 perfect innings and hit 6 grandslams in game 10 of the midwestern athletic baseball league championship series in 1898. ohtani is nothing special.

>>151451584

>>151451584
I think this is gonna be an interesting sidebar to the CBA. You're gonna have other owners telling LA, NY, Chicago they have to throw away their golden gooses for the good of the league. Lmfao.

>>151450645
> Red Sox was actually worth more yearly than what he makes on the Dodgers, he just didn't like it because it was for a shorter commitment.
Then he wasn't in for the money thus irrelevant for the "money talk" even he was valued
>Freddie's deal was what he valued himself as and his agent said no just to send him to a big market
So he was undervalued and backstabbed by his own team/agent, and for decent reasons too because who could have thought he was yet to peak at 30ish yealr old? If he was that valuable everyone would have bounced at the opportunity and win against the dodgers, is not like freddy was loyal to them or anything.
>teo wasn't worth much because he just sucked before his breakout year on the Dodgers
>Glasnow and Snell had their markets fucked because they were questionable and injury prone, which is why the Rays traded them.
So they were undervalued and dodgers got their money worth
There's also other talent like Will Smith, Kike, even Muncy.
Dodgers have constantly gotten into playoffs before Ohtani came out, they were slowly but surely making their super team, Ohtani just accelerated it all and he was technically undervalued too all things considered
Again, "players" outside the game are as important as the players themselves and dodgers not only have that type of talent, they have the money to actually use it.

>>151451542
It was Ohtani and his agent. They offered the exact same terms to the Giants, Cubs, and Blue Jays, who all accepted. He just wanted the the deferred value for the meme award of having the "richest" contract in pro sports.

I know this is a shitpost but im going to take this as a chance to ramble about how shitty college sports have become. Its so annoying that the people running it have spent the last 5-10 years completely ruining the sports with these stupid conference mergers and such. Fucking USC in the Big Ten is retarded and god damn Cal in the ACC is one of the dumbest things ever. They keep adding more teams to the playoff to make the regular season mean less and less while killing off more classic rivalries. And the worst of it all is its all cause football got too big for the NCAA and its overwhelming size has fucked over all the other college sports. I miss the classic Big East and ACC basketball. Maryland and Nebraska in the Big Ten sucks, Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC sucks, and nobody gives a shit to try and fix any of it.

I hope to god they don't try to convert him into a starter. I'd rather have him be the new closer 2bh - he's the perfect dude to come in and just throw the nastiest fucking heat for two innings

>>151452400
Yeah same. Those nasty pitches would have to lose velocity if he became a starter

>>151452400
but he also had 7 innings of a no hitter against the Mariners in his rookie year as a starter and the only reason he didn't get it was because they pulled him out of the game

The only way to neutralize the dodgers overwhelming hitting advantage is through a deep bullpen and that's the M's biggest strength. They have a better chance than the Jays but they could easily take the pennant still. As an M"s fan I'd be happy with a well fought WS tho.

In a just world Arte would be forced to sell the Angels and be permanently banned from attending games. He wasted two generational talents. Absolutely fucking failed to build around them in any meaningful way. What a useless sack of shit.

But they beat the Dodgers in the regular season!!!

Ohtani mainly adds value to his team in a monetary sense and through his jap influence. What he adds to the team isn’t substantial, Jram and Judge are examples of guys that add value to their team. Skubal is another, and shows that MVP is a stat pad award instead of being the most valuable

>>151453103
people will act like it's a crime the bottom 4 spend 30% on payroll when their entire revenue is less than what the dodgers make in one month on their TV deal.

Judge is a better player than Ohtani, and it isn’t that close. It’s so bad they have to cope with the voter fatigue excuse since he won the award before. Ohtani is peek Reddit, he is a Nip Chungus

dodgers @ yankees game 5 5th inning

>>151453889
AAIIIEEEEEE

judge was a singles merchant and had exactly one impactful hit with his homer to prevent the sweep

>>151453768
the benefits of being able to pay 4-5 guys the equivalent of some other teams entire payroll. one of them is probably going to do good
at this point the dodgers shouldn't even bother with a farm system. they can just treat the rest of the MLB as their farm system. they can work out a deal with the rockies to let their players do rehab stints.

>>151453849
I think the problem is when you play one of the least important positions in the game it's easy to overlook the talent

Prease Lobert sama, we need 3 MVPs, the best ace in the game, on top of our all str hitting catcher and have our guys take a pay cut to afford EVEN more guys from my homeland. Please, I don’t want to lose again.

>>151453961
save some money, just pick the best players from the MLB since they all want to play for the dodgers anyway.

>>151453962
Pretty based. I heard baseball players are notorious for having mistresses because of how long the season is and how much they travel, I wonder if Ohtani has a few side pieces throughout the country.

Chadres should fire Eric Greupner, Hire Albert pujol and have Ozzie Gilman bitch slap Manny and Tatis Jr to play better, that way we can win a world series for Peter Siedler.

>>151453914
It’s working, Dodgers have no homegrown talent. Scouting and trades seems to work. Astros haven’t had a good farm for years and they are still alive. Ohtani makes most of their money back, so they aren’t in the red

It’s a shame that so many franchises botched extensions and/or refused to pay their players.

>>151454165
You don't know what you are talking about retard.

Remember when the Blue Jays almost got Ohtani?

>>151454084
you don't need scouts or minors
I'm aware of issues in being able to send players down and stuff. It's not realistic but they shouldn't bother with a farm system.
I'd love to hear you explain your incredulity instead of just spamming question marks

I'm Japanese but I'm anti-Ohtani. Mookie Betts should have won the MVP, and I want the evil empire Dodgers to be vanquished by the Mariners,

>>151454229
I remember they signed IKF and Vogelbach that offseason instead

>>151454275
You are a retard

>>151454289
You are not Japanese.

>muncy is from Oakland
>freeman is from the barves
>Betts is from Boston
>Ohtani is from the Angels
“Our team is hecking home grown, because we have Will Smith” lol

>>151453326
He has loyalty and enough integrity to not want to be carried by a team full of hired guns.

What a fucking idiot

>>151454229
>almost got
He was never going there or anywhere but the Dodgers. The entire thing was a total scam that he only went along with as a favor to the MLB off season to help with clicks and such. Same with Yamamoto and Roki, they were always only going to LA.

>>151454362
Muncy was DFA'd by the A's. He developed in Dodger AAA and became a monster.

Dodgers have no homegrown players, and whatever farm system players do get called up are just there to fill the roster until the free agent they want becomes available.
>See: Andy Pages next year when the Dodgers replace their outfield with Kyle Tucker and Schwarber/Grisham or moves Edman to the outfield so Murakami can be an infielder

>>151454573
>Murakami
The dodgers are not interested in a future DH faggot

>>151454573
people who say this ignore their homegrown all stars like belli and seager who they simply chose not to give contracts

>>151454659
>>151454659
>ignore their homegrown all stars like belli and seager who they simply chose not to give contracts
They ignore it on purpose cause they are fucking retards and trolls

>>151454659
>your former MVP Cody got booed out of doyers stadium
Couldn’t help him out if his slump and told him to get outta dodge. Sorry Cody, we only want ACTUAL MVPs.

>>151454659
When your only worthwhile examples are guys who were drafted and debuted a decade ago, it doesn't really inspire confidence in the farm system, which MLB still acts like is one of the best in the league. The bellinger and seager of today are guys like Rushing and Outman lol

>>151454335
>Haters doubted us last year, but this year is vindication! Extensions for everyone! Don't forget to buy your season tickets! Trust the plan!

>>151454748
>Couldn’t help him out if his slump and told him to get outta dodge
Are you in the business of offering 100M+ contracts to a guy who went from being an 8.7WAR MVP to a 1.5, -1.6, and 1.3 player? Cody was one of my favorite players and I'm glad he figured his shit out, but he absolutely was not worth the money his sniveling literal merchant of an agent demanded.

>>151454762
so every good farm should produce a lineup full of .850 ops guys. how many teams in the league field that?

All Japanese players for the Dodgers should be considered home grown players.

>>151454953
homegrown (idolizes ohtani)

>>151449135 (OP)
>>151449170
Fine I'll fap again today

>>151454762
>The bellinger and seager of today are guys like Rushing and Outman lol
Emmet Sheehan (starter) posted a 2.82 ERA over 73IP. Jack Dreyer (relief), had a 2.95 ERA with 76IP. Andy Pages was almost a 4WAR player and ended the season with a solid .774 OPS. Obviously players like Bellinger and Seager only come around once in a blue moon, but the dodgers are still development some very solid talent.

>>151454797
in Chadkins we trust

>>151454922
quite a few. multiple teams debuted their #1 or general top 3 prospect this year. Rushing was the #1 prospect in the Dodgers system, and compared to the rest that debuted, he was easily one of the weakest

>laffs
A sign of things to come!

>>151455339
>watching hockey

I'm already masochistic enough watching the Jays

can someone put together a comprehensive list of all the dodgers cope?

yes

MVP should simply go to whoever has the most total bases.

MVP should go to my favorite player

What's he thinking right now?

I'm pretty angry

I'm irate

funny how everyone forgets the most powerful Dodgers roster ever assembled in '22. (111-51) (.685 WR) (franchise winning record)

All that, just for them to get slammed by the Poodres 3-1. Teams are more than just a collection of talented players (Mets). You need people to click together, and most importantly, you need to remain strong over the post season. Sorry that the Brewers are mental midgets who failed when the lights were the brightest, but great teams wash out all the time.

I'm incensed

I'm furious

I'm mildly frustrated

bases = value
more bases = more value

Schwarber? Raleigh? Soto? Nah, Ohtani and Judge.

Most total bases in the MLB:

> 2024

1. Ohtani • LAD 411
2. Judge • NYY 392
3. Witt • KCR 374
4. Guerrero • TOR 335
5. Henderson • BAL 333
Ramírez • CLE 333
7. Ozuna • ATL 331
8. Duran • BOS 330
9. Soto • NYY 328
10. Alvarez • HOU 313

> 2025

1. Ohtani • LAD 380
2. Judge • NYY 372
3. Raleigh • SEA 351
4. Schwarber • PHI 340
5. Alonso • NYM 327
6. Caminero • TBR 322
7. Witt • KCR 312
8. Rodríguez • SEA 309
Suárez • 2TM 309
10. Carroll • ARI 305

Ohtani = Overrated
He isn't as good a hitter as Judge, his baserunning was only impressive for one year, and he's not even a top 10 pitcher in the league. His fielding is nothing special either.
This is your goat?

>>151455782
Raleigh plays home base very inning so that's a lot of bases.

Walks should be taken into account as well not just total bases, but since they are less likely to advance runners, they should be weighted somehow. Any idea what the weight should be?

This year's American League MVP is Raleigh.
It's already been decided.

>>151451121
only correct answer

the dodgers make all the right (wrong) people cuck and seethe :)

>>151455660
I gotta say, there's no excuse for someone his age to be so incapable under pressure. Unless he's a virgin, then it's understandable, but even though he's very ugly I can't imagine he could be given his social status as a pro athlete

>and seething over them
KEK

>>151455927
I like .8
Shouldn't be too low as it guarantees (unless IBB) a pitcher wastes at least 4 pitches

If judge is so great why isn't he in the WS??

>>151453557
The Angels let him be a two-way player.
That allowed him to prove himself to the world that he could do both at a high level.

>>151456303
I think he should stay

>>151456303
I think he should go

>>151456326
Out!
>>151456381
And you can go with him

This doesn't have to get violent, but it certainly can

>>151456430
Fuck Ohtani
He signed that contract knowing full well it would ruin the national league for at least five years
Someone needs to bash his skull in with some 100 mph cheese

lol he’d just hit it out of the park

>>151456666
HOLY BASED

>>151456340
Yeah, I think people underrate walks. In some scenarios it's just as valuable as a single and can advance runners without any chance of an out so the quality of the baserunners is irrelevant and there is no risk of injury involved in the play.

>>151456674

All is fair in war

>>151456372
He shouldn't do that unless he can do a handstand. That was stupid. Could injure himself easily.

Damn the Dodgers are like the best superteam thats ever existed ever. Why are other teams even trying? Just give them the WS for the next five years at least! Dodgers will have 30 rings before the Yaks ever get 28! Should the rest of MLB just fold and let them win by default until Ohtani retires? These are serious questions /mlb/

>>151456938
Having their rotation completely healthy for the playoffs is an extreme aberration with this team and likely won't be repeated this decade.
There's a chance for the Mariners to stop this dynasty before it gets off the ground. You just have to believe.

>>151456987
AJ would have turned him into deli meat for his hero subs.

>>151456785
I honestly had no idea

>>151456902
Are you fajitas or machaca?

ngl, I know hitting 3 homers in a game is impressive, but what really cemented him as the goat for me is the fact that he knocked one out of the stadium. A Dodger has not done that since Mike Piazza became the first (dodger) to do it in 1997.

>>151456921

>>151457991
They don't want to pay what comes after the $8m year, dodgefriend

billionaires cant afford 8M, please understand

>>151457948
The whole point of salary cap is to stop the top dogs from being as successful compared to the other teams, which is fine.
However, the reason people want salary cap is not for that but because people want to stop a dynasty from happening, which a salary cap wont really do.
Dodgers will still have all the talent even if its implemented, it will only hurt them after the dynasty has already happened but is not like their whole management team and fame will be gone so they could still adapt.

i forgot the stat, but something like only 13 contracts worth over 50 million in the MLB this year. not the dodgers' fault. blame the other cheap owners

NBA is another capslop sport and look at how epic that finals was, the lowest viewership since 2007. Two small markets battling, nobody wants to watch that crap.

>>151458090
>m-muh viewership

>>151458097
If you want to be the best, you need to beat the best. I don't want to see any of this forced parity homogeneous bullshit.

Jap baseball fans switch MLB teams like a promiscuous grill changes bfs. Nomo era? Dodgers. Ichiro era? Mariners. Ohtani era? Angels, then back to Dodgers. Can't even blame the Dodgers for collecting Jap players; it makes perfect business sense. Still, it messed up the league's balance. As a Jap baseball fan, I sincerely apologize for our collective thottery.

The most reddit opinion in sports is that Showgay is somehow the goat after having the most statistically diverse SINGLE performance in a completely meaningless game with 0 pressure, while sucking when it matters and batting .105 in the WS.

>Players want a cap on how much money they can get paid
Yeah this is all an owner psyop

Casual reminder where the Dodgers ownership got its money to buy every available player and have 3 MVPs and multiple CY youngs

The Guggenheim family's fortune was built on a history of exploitation, including brutal labor practices, manipulation of markets, and involvement with colonial extraction industries. These activities formed the basis of the family's immense wealth, which was later used for large-scale philanthropy, such as founding the Guggenheim museums.
Labor exploitation and abuses
The Guggenheim family and their associated mining companies repeatedly used force and employed low-wage workers to suppress strikes and maintain control of their operations.
Forced labor: Migrant workers were subjected to abusive conditions, including having their passports confiscated to prevent them from leaving. This system, particularly in places like Abu Dhabi, effectively functioned as indentured servitude.
Violent suppression of labor: Historically, the family used force against striking mine workers.
Poor working conditions: Reports from construction sites on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, the location of a planned Guggenheim museum, documented migrant workers living in squalid, overcrowded camps near open sewers.
Colonial and resource exploitation
The Guggenheim family's wealth derived from mining operations that exploited both natural resources and the people who extracted them, often in less developed nations.

>>151458143
We don’t care. We’re just stealing your stars

>>151458249
Belgian Congo: In 1906, the Guggenheim family established the American Congo Company and the Intercontinental Rubber Company to extract rubber and diamonds. They formed an exclusive business partnership with King Leopold II, known for his exceptionally brutal rule and violent colonial practices in the Belgian Congo.
Chilean copper: The family's Kennecott Copper company, formed in 1907, was a powerful force in Chile. The subsequent nationalization of Chile's copper industry in 1971 dealt a major blow to the company, which then engaged in covert operations to destabilize the Chilean economy.
Global mining empire: The family expanded its ventures into Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, and the Yukon, acquiring immense wealth by controlling mineral resources such as silver, lead, copper, tin, and gold.
Antitrust and market manipulation
The family and its companies faced accusations of antitrust violations and internal financial conflicts of interest.
ASARCO control: After a business battle, the Guggenheims took control of the American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) in 1901, consolidating their power in the industry. The family was accused of using their control of ASARCO for their own benefit, leading to them being voted out of control in 1922.
Financial misconduct: As recently as 2017, the modern firm Guggenheim Partners was accused of putting clients into risky investments and was forced to pay $20 million to settle claims of potential conflicts of interest.
Response to exploitation allegations
The Guggenheim Foundation has faced criticism and pressure to address its legacy and ongoing issues related to exploitation.
Abu Dhabi boycotts: The Guggenheim Foundation has faced boycotts and petitions from human rights organizations regarding the use of exploited migrant labor in constructing the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.

>>151458249
thank you for the reminder
did you see that my dodgers swept the brewers and are playing in another world series this year?

Do you guys put all of your stock in one team or were you split between Ichiro and Matsui?

>>151458249
>>151458260
The Alaska Syndicate and Kennecott mines
The Alaska Syndicate: Beginning in 1906, Daniel and Simon Guggenheim joined with J.P. Morgan & Co. to form the Alaska Syndicate, with the goal of developing copper claims near the Copper River. The syndicate faced significant opposition from Alaskans who resented their heavy-handed corporate influence and monopoly on transportation.
Kennecott Copper: The syndicate purchased the fabulously rich Bonanza copper claims, forming the Kennecott Mines Company (later Kennecott Copper Corporation). To get the ore out, they constructed the Copper River and Northwestern Railway, a 196-mile railway system.
Harsh conditions: The mine operated in an extremely remote location in the Wrangell-St. Elias mountains, where crews faced brutal cold and relentless snow. This included a long Alaskan winter with temperatures that could drop to 50°F below zero.
The strike and eviction in -30°F weather
Strike for better conditions: In 1916, workers at the Kennecott mine went on strike to protest poor working conditions and low wages.
Brutal eviction: In response, the Guggenheim-controlled company evicted the strikers from their bunkhouses. This forced the men out into the bitter winter, where temperatures dropped to 30°F below zero.
Legacy of labor disputes: The event cemented the Guggenheim family's reputation for being hard on labor, even as Daniel Guggenheim publicly claimed to favor unions.

Matsui used to play for the Yomiuri Giants, basically Japan’s version of the Yankees, so a lot of Giants fans naturally supported New York when he joined them. The teams even share that same “big money, big legacy” vibe. But in the end, Ichiro’s success was on another level, so most people were definitely in the Ichiro camp.

To speak of Ohtani is to recount a myth in real-time, a living saga woven in the loom of awe.

>Matsui’s affinity for adult videos first came to light in a 2003 Time article. It detailed how he amassed a vast collection of tapes, which he often traded with Japanese reporters. According to one Japanese journalist, Matsui’s taste in adult videos reflects unique cultural institutions in Japan, such as soiled-panty vending machines and no-panties shabu-shabu cafes (are the panties deposited before work at the no-panties cafes in said vending machines? We may never know): “Matsui is a horny guy. All of us [Japanese men] are horny, more or less. But Matsui doesn’t attempt to hide the fact.”

The full extent of Matsui’s collection became known in 2012 when GQ reported that it consisted of more than 55,000 videos. At his first American press event, when Matsui ran out of gifts for the writers, he humorously promised, “I’ll get porn for the rest of you.”

umm... okay

You now remember Mike Trout

>>151458538
Lmao how do you even know that? He even worked as a judge for a porn award once. Gomiuri Giants fans, known for being pervs themselves, seemed to find it endearing, but most other fans were just creeped out

A question for Dodgers fans only.
Who would you rather face in the World Series, the Jays or the Mariners?
I would like to face the Jays, who were involved in the Ohtani transfer controversy.

If I had to pick, probably the Jays. The injured Dodgers were going through a slump when they played the jays in the regular season and everyone thought the jays would sweep. It ended up with the dodgers almost sweeping the jays.
Mariners look hot. Yeah the dodgers swept them and oldman Kersh made Raleigh his bitch both in the game and the ASG, but I like to the think the mariners wanted to keep the second seed
Point is, it’s baseball. Anything can happen

>>151458904
As much as I'd love to see it, the Jays are too injured to get into the WS now.

>>151458904
Jays would be way cooler, but, the Mariners. Good team and then I think it means game one is in LA

Han perdido!
They lost.

You wouldn't have bothered to post this if that was actually true

>>151459160
Padgers is the biggest draw in the league right now tho

Giants Dodgers is the biggest rivalry in baseball. Cope.

He just didn’t quite have that star power, man. Even Uehara in 2013 was getting more hype in Japan.

>>151459276
It's some other false flag then

>>151459303
that can't be true when the fighters of ham gave him a mural at their stadium and even Ohtani was afraid to wear number 11 there because he was scared he wouldn't live up to him

Back in the NPB days, Darvish was in the same class as Tanaka or Iwakuma. Elite, but not the face of the league. Ichiro was the clear number one back then, and Ohtani’s two-way stuff put him in a league of his own. So it’s not really comparable.

>>151459212
Why not? Tell me.

>>151459350
>>151459432
There definitely was a gap between the Ichiro and Ohtani eras. After the 2011 earthquake, overall interest in MLB declined in Japan, so Darvish’s early years with the Rangers didn’t attract much attention. Tanaka’s 24–0 season with the Rakuten Eagles and their 2013 championship drew massive attention, partly because their home city, Sendai, had been severely affected by the disaster. From 2014 to 2017, before Ohtani moved to MLB, most Japanese fans were following Tanaka with the Yankees, Uehara with the Red Sox, and Ichiro with the Marlins, while Darvish was sidelined with injuries.
