Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Mon Aug 03 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima argue that the only way to stop the Dodgers' spending advantage and force real change in baseball is a salary cap and floor, and he says fans frustrated with small-market limitations should root for the Dodgers to keep dominating until the sport is forced to fix itself. He compares the Dodgers' approach to George Steinbrenner's Yankees in the late '90s and early 2000s, arguing they're just exploiting the same loopholes every team would use given the chance. Anthony pushes back some but largely agrees, and both admit they'd rather endure a lockout and lost season than keep watching Guardians-level payrolls compete against a $400 million-plus Dodgers roster.
