Mi vecina es profesora de matemáticas. El otro día la vi en el ascensor con cara de haber perdido la fe en la humanidad. Me contó que había pasado tres horas en una reunión obligatoria sobre pedagogías transformadoras. Cero minutos hablando de cómo enseñar mejor una ecuación de segundo grado. "Es que ya no sé si soy profesora o activista", me soltó. Y tiene razón. Hay gente que nunca ha dado una clase decidiendo desde un despacho que los profesores deben ser todo menos profesores. Mientras ella intenta explicar logaritmos con treinta críos delante, los gurús de la educación escriben manifiestos sobre competencias emocionales. El resultado lo vemos todos. Chavales que hablan precioso sobre igualdad pero no saben calcular un porcentaje. A lo mejor deberíamos dejar que los profesores enseñen.

Pues ya se fueron los Dodgers. Se viene la Serie Mundial más insípida de los últimos 30 años

Pumas no tendrá llegadas en estas compras de pánico. Importante destacar que se quedan con lo que estan. Otro punto importante... saben que deben revivir las FB. Por eso estos movimientos. Sé que la gente pregunta que pasará con el equipo, pero estan trabajando y fuerte.

I haven’t really talked about this yet, but I kind of feel obligated to put out a post about it, so here’s my take: First, please understand this is an MLB take, not a Red Sox take. I’m saying this as a baseball fan, not as a Red Sox fan complaining about the Dodgers. This does NOT excuse Red Sox ownership whatsoever. Boston is a massive-market team with plenty of money, and I’ve criticized ownership plenty for not spending like one. As someone who DOESN’T want a salary cap, what’s coming out about the Dodgers leaves an absolutely disgusting taste in my mouth. For YEARS, we’ve heard the same argument about the Dodgers: This is what good ownership looks like. Every team could do this. Your owner is just cheap. And now we’re learning it apparently wasn’t that simple. Roughly $1.45 BILLION in debt tied to the Dodgers’ media operation is reportedly held by insurance companies connected to their own ownership group. The structure potentially allows money to remain within that ownership ecosystem while reducing the net TV revenue subject to MLB revenue sharing. Think about what that potentially means. We spent years being told every team could operate like the Dodgers. Meanwhile, other teams realistically could NOT replicate this structure, and the Dodgers may have actually been reducing the amount of their TV money being shared with those same teams while building the financial machine that helped support their unprecedented spending. And this is where I have a major problem with the national baseball media. Jeff Passan. Ken Rosenthal. Jon Heyman. Bob Nightengale. These are some of the biggest and most influential reporters covering this sport. I am NOT accusing any of them of knowing this was happening (Well Passan maybe not sure if anyone else saw that report). But now that these reports ARE out, where is everybody? Because after YEARS of discussion about the Dodgers’ spending, competitive balance, deferred contracts and whether other owners should simply follow LA’s example, I cannot understand how something potentially this significant isn't dominating the conversation. And I have a really hard time believing that if allegations this serious emerged and supported the opposite side of this debate, they would be met with this level of silence. If we learned that smaller-market owners had potentially constructed some elaborate financial structure to artificially make themselves look poorer, collect more revenue-sharing money and justify refusing to spend, does anyone seriously believe baseball media would just shrug and move along? They’d be getting DESTROYED. And frankly, they should be. That same scrutiny needs to apply here. And after years of being told everyone else could simply “do what the Dodgers do,” this leaves an incredibly disgusting taste in my mouth.

Dodgers owner Mark Walter is under a federal investigation and a whole lot of pressure. He just sold the Lakers only 14 months after buying the Lakers, he is selling his shares in Chelsea FC, and well the pressure is mounting and rumors are swirling about the Dodgers. The one key component here is Shohei Ohtani who is owed still $680 million by the Dodgers and well most of the contract is deferred until the 2040s. These two facts belong together, because Ohtani does have the richest contract in sports history, and that contract is owned by an owner who is under federal investigation. Basically, Ohtani gave the Dodgers a loan and now it looks like he might have loaned the wrong man. Let’s break down the money. Ohtani’s contract is worth around $700 million dollars but right now because of the contract’s structure most people do know he takes home around $2 million a year. The rest of that money? Well it’s going to according to his contract be paid out 2034 to 2043. But he’s not the only Dodger whose deal is structured this way. They owe a total of over $1 billion dollars to nine different players with the payments being deferred all the way out to 2047. We all know about the infamous Bobby Bonilla day for the Mets where they pay him every July (that just ended), well the Dodgers took Bobby Bonilla day, injected it in Barry Bonds steroids and built a championship roster on layaway. They get the superstars today, the rings today, and the bill is due in the 2040s. But one thing about deferred money and sports contracts is kind of insane. It’s not secured. Many are saying that it was Ohtani’s own idea to defer the money so the team could build a winner around him. Now, that may be true, but the money is not secured. Unlike most loans, there is no collateral, he doesn’t have a personal guarantee on Dodger stadium or anything of that sort. All he has is a promise, and it looks like he trusted the wrong man. If something happens cash wise, Ohtani is just another creditor standing in line looking for his money. And Walters seems to be in huge trouble. But there is one thing in Ohtani’s contract that many people are missing. He has a “key-man” clause. If Walters sells the Dodgers (whether by choice or force) or if their executive Andrew Freidman leaves, Ohtani has the option to opt out of the rest of his contract. Which is funny, he wasn’t trusting the Dodgers franchise, he was trusting Walters himself. And Ohtani has said he would not opt out, but when facts change, opinions can too. So if Walter has to sell, Ohtani basically can overnight become a free agent. And with an impending lockout and Walter needing cash, I think he might have to sell. And there is a darker road to the Dodgers problems and that is bankruptcy which might seem far fetched for a pro sports franchise but the Dodgers did go bankrupt in 2011. And a team bankruptcy can ask the courts to reject a contract which basically makes the player an unsecured creditor fighting to get pennies back on his dollar. And Ohtani’s $680 million with ZERO collateral? That’s something that has no leverage in a courtroom. Now none of this is a prediction, and this can all play out in Ohtani’s favor, and Walters may even keep the Dodgers. But sports structure always assumes one big thing. And that is the franchise owner is stable. And that seemed like a given with Walters as he was buying assets and spending money left and right. But it’s harder to believe when he is under investigation and selling everything he owns. Ohtani made a bet worth $680 million dollars that the people who run the Dodgers would be safe and good standing when he turns 40. Well, his money is riding on a promise and hope.
