"Let's get four more wins, and really ruin baseball," Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said during Friday night's exuberant postgame celebration. Obviously there's a measure of humor in what the Dodgers' skipper was saying, and in his own hilarious way, Roberts was poking fun at the media, pundits, and MLB fans who claimed that LA's heavy-spending is making a mockery of the sport.
It's no secret that the Dodgers have spent more money and have a bigger payroll than any team in baseball. According to Cot's Baseball Contracts, LA's $313 million payroll ranks first among all other MLB franchises.
