The Dodgers have had the highest payroll for years now, no? Only resulted in one WS so far, despite consistently making the playoffs. We'll see if this takes them to the next level. Anything can happen in a 5 game series so a team with half the payroll can take out the Dodgers. Love Ohtani but I like to see the super teams fail.

And man, I still don't understand why the Angels didn't trade him. Didn't have to be for prospects either. Could have been for bonafide players so they could try and win in the next 5 years while Trout is still in his prime. Trout is the McDavid of MLB. Career being wasted away on his team. Though it's worse because there's just so much parity in the NHL that it's harder to win. And personality wise, they are similar too. Not extroverts that's for sure.
