If the Dodgers\u2019 spending is hastening a battle over the need for a salary cap and a potential work stoppage<\/a>, infielder Max Muncy isn\u2019t buying it. \u201cWe\u2019re not adding any more fuel to that fire,\u201d he said on Foul Territory. \u201cIf (the work stoppage) happens, it was always going to happen, and it\u2019s not going to only happen just because of us. That\u2019s a totally different issue that I don\u2019t really want to fully get into at this moment. There\u2019s going to be plenty of time for that over the next year, but yeah, we just got to focus on ourselves.\u201d <\/p>\n

While acknowledging it\u2019s \u201cnot like we needed anything,\u201d Muncy said the additions of Kyle Tucker<\/a> and Edwin Diaz have been \u201cexciting,\u201d even if they came with complaints from around the baseball world. Muncy: \u201cI think for us as an organization, you can\u2019t really worry about what is being said on the outside,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just have to worry about ourselves, and that\u2019s how we\u2019ve always gone about business. \u2026 It shouldn\u2019t affect us.\u201d (FOUL TERRITORY, 1\/28<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If the Dodgers\u2019 spending is hastening a battle over the need for a salary cap and a potential…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-439834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
