If the Dodgers’ spending is hastening a battle over the need for a salary cap and a potential work stoppage, infielder Max Muncy isn’t buying it. “We’re not adding any more fuel to that fire,” he said on Foul Territory. “If (the work stoppage) happens, it was always going to happen, and it’s not going to only happen just because of us. That’s a totally different issue that I don’t really want to fully get into at this moment. There’s going to be plenty of time for that over the next year, but yeah, we just got to focus on ourselves.”
While acknowledging it’s “not like we needed anything,” Muncy said the additions of Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz have been “exciting,” even if they came with complaints from around the baseball world. Muncy: “I think for us as an organization, you can’t really worry about what is being said on the outside,” he said. “We just have to worry about ourselves, and that’s how we’ve always gone about business. … It shouldn’t affect us.” (FOUL TERRITORY, 1/28).
