As a result of this, the team has not acquired many big-time free agents, and they’ve really only invested in homegrown talent, in high-upside plays, and in the stadium and fan experience. These are valid and important ways to continue to make the Dodgers viable as a business, which in turn allows them to keep providing us some shred of meaning and joy.
At the same time, I’m sure many fans would agree that with the warm feeling of a championship in our bellies, we’d worry less about the on-field product of the subsequent few years. This may be true of our fandom, but it certainly would not be a valid business model.
