I don't think you need a cap if there's a TON of revenue sharing and a serious floor. Take enough of LAD money and they can't afford to spend like they have been.

People also love to focus on the Dodgers ruining baseball without acknowledging that the Mets spend nearly as much and have been terrible. Or that Kyle Tucker has been worth about 10% of what they're paying him this season.
My name?

JJW has to be ROY as of right now, right? And his skill set isn't really prone to dramatic swings, and if anything his xwOBA is 20 pts higher than his wOBA

As of now, sure, he'd probably win, but there's a whole lot of season left and Nolan McLean's not going to keep working to a 4-something ERA. Sal Stewart's going to heat up again at some point.

And Griffin's on the IL now, but he was hitting .317/.370/.488 over 135 PAs beforehand.
