00:00The first thing that we need to talk about.
00:01The Dodgers got swept.
00:03What happened?
00:11The Dodgers are gone from the preseason.
00:13But aren't they the best team with the highest payroll?
00:16The highest payroll, the most famous players,
00:19the fair salaries for 10 years for gazillions of dollars,
00:23and yet one of the most modest teams in the competition,
00:28the Brewers, this is a historical team
00:31that finally is back into a final
00:34after, I think, 30 years or something crazy like that, Humberto.
00:38What do you think is the problem with the Dodgers?
00:40And there's a lot of ways to get into this conversation,
00:43but let's break it down.
00:45What happened to the Dodgers?
00:46Did they choke?
00:47¿Se les acabó la magia?
00:48No, I'm going to get conspiratorial with you.
00:51We were talking this before.
00:52Now, here's the thing about baseball.
00:54You would think that as a Cuban,
00:56and my dad played baseball,
00:58my grandfather played baseball as Cubans,
01:00but I had issues with my dad,
01:02so as revenge, I got into American football,
01:04so I'm not a big baseball guy,
01:05but I will say that because the Dodgers,
01:08we were saying this,
01:09because the Dodgers had the highest payroll,
01:10and they were getting attacked for buying a championship,
01:14maybe they lost on purpose,
01:16and they allowed a modest team with a modest payroll,
01:18a small market team, the Milwaukee Brewers.
01:20If they win it all the way,
01:21then next year they can be like,
01:22hey, look, stop coming down on us for our payroll.
01:25We don't always win it.
01:27You know what is funny?
01:28This off-season,
01:29this off-season,
01:32coincidentally,
01:33I don't know,
01:33allegedly,
01:34I don't know,
01:36supposedly,
01:37this off-season
01:39is going to be the renegotiation
01:41of the bargaining agreement.
01:43That's right.
01:43The laws that bound the teams
01:45and the players for the next period,
01:47probably four or five years
01:49of the collective agreement,
01:51and
01:51I'm with you,
01:52Umberto.
01:53I think that the Dodgers
01:54are throwing away
01:55this World Series
01:56so they can come with the argument
01:58that,
01:58see,
02:00it doesn't really,
02:01you know,
02:01affect the game
02:02as a whole
02:03for me to be a super team
02:06and have
02:06all the stars
02:07because these poor teams
02:09can win.
02:10So,
02:10let me have my salary cap,
02:12I'll bring the casuals
02:13into the game,
02:14I'll bring the stars
02:15so you can continue
02:16to create new,
02:17you know,
02:18new viewership
02:19around the sport
02:20because the game
02:21is unaffected
02:22and then,
02:23boom,
02:23five years in a row,
02:25Dodgers,
02:26Dodgers,
02:26Dodgers,
02:27Dodgers in four,
02:27Dodgers in four,
02:28Dodgers in three.
02:29Los Dodgers!
02:29Los Dodgers,
02:30my friend.
