The Dodgers are under the microscope as Mark Walter faces a federal criminal investigation, raising fresh questions about the franchise’s financial power and the advantages that have allowed Los Angeles to keep spending aggressively. The conversation turns to whether anything could actually threaten the Dodgers, why their biggest free-agent misses barely slow them down, and the fantasy scenario rival fans would love to see if ownership were ever forced to sell.
Steve Cohen also addresses the Mets’ trade deadline and makes it clear he remains committed to David Stearns despite questionable offseason decisions. Plus, the Yankees’ biggest American League threats are ranked, with Boston, Tampa Bay and one very familiar enemy looming over October. The Jets get a grim Geno Smith prediction, and Tiki Barber gets an unexpected reminder of just how heavily he was used during his playing career.
