If it blows up baseball, so be it<\/a>.\u201d Perhaps he means that MLB should be reduced to a burning garbage heap with three teams atop \u2014 Yankees, Cubs and Dodgers \u2014 because they were the only ones who went into the TV business and peddled their services for billions in the three largest TV markets.<\/p>\nMaybe he yearns to transform MLB into the NHL of my childhood, with six teams. That was OK if you lived in a shallow arc extending between New York and Chicago \u2014 not so good for everyone else.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo be it,\u201d as Plaschke would say, but I can guarantee I won\u2019t be the only one who isn\u2019t watching anymore.<\/p>\n

Naturally Dodger fans are all excited about the signing of the $60-million-a-year All-Star right fielder, Kyle Tucker. But we\u2019re not going to be happy when Dodger Stadium becomes the first MLB ballpark with a two-drink minimum.<\/p>\n

As everyone seems to be raving about the Dodgers\u2019 acquisition of Kyle Tucker, I note the following: There is another player who was recently signed by the Yankees for less money and less signing bonus than Tucker who had higher numbers last year in average, home runs and WAR. He also plays more positions. Hadn\u2019t the Dodgers heard of Cody Bellinger? Bellinger as a Yankee will never feel right to me.<\/p>\n

Ask a Major League Baseball owner like Arte Moreno, who sells out his ballpark whenever the Dodgers come to Anaheim, and sees Angel broadcast ratings surge whenever his team plays the Dodgers, if he thinks the Dodgers are ruining the game.<\/p>\n
