I’ll remember where I was when baseball’s system broke: Sitting on my couch reading Twice, Mitch Albom’s latest book (which I highly recommend) and watching The Great British Bake Off on Netfilix.

The notifications starting going off. My phone started buzzing.

Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers on a four-year, $240M deal.

How much does it change the 2026 season. The Dodgers, already the favorite to win it all again, are an even bigger favorite. The pressure on the rest of the perceived contenders (Phillies, Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays) just grew.

But the takeaway is of what’s to come and what this means for the future of the sport.

If I had guess, the next 11 months in baseball look something like this:

-The Dodgers win the World Series again, completing a three-peat and cementing themselves as dynasty.

-Baseball win enter a work stoppage, potentially impacting (or even cancelling) the 2027 season.

I don’t hate the Dodgers signing Tucker. They are playing by the rules. But the rules are broken. The sport needs to fix itself. The teams know it. Deep down, the agents do too. The Dodgers broke baseball on the field. Now they’ve broken it away from the field.

Enjoy the 2026 season.

It’ll be the last of its kind.

Nick Sirianni doesn’t seem like he’ll have a say in the next Eagles offensive coordinator. That seems counterproductive.

How worried should we be about John Harbaugh to the Giants?
