Justin Verlander's brother Ben calls out MLB fans for criticizing Dodgers while supporting Chiefs' back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl runs

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, added a ton of talent in free agency and are expected to become the first back-to-back champion since the turn of the century in baseball. They have the best odds and that's not likely to change any time soon.

This has prompted complaints from baseball fans across the globe. They believe that the Dodgers are ruining the sport and taking advantage of being a big-market team without a salary cap and stacking the deck in their favor.

In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs have now made it to three consecutive Super Bowls and could win three in a row should they beat the Philadelphia Eagles in two weeks. That's something MLB analyst Ben Verlander, the brother of Justin Verlander, believes is why it doesn't matter what the Dodgers do.

Verlander said:

"People will really complain about the Dodgers signing everyone and cry for a Salary Cap while watching the Chiefs go to the Super Bowl every year. With a salary cap."

The salary cap hasn't stopped the Chiefs from being the best and most dominant team in the NFL for years. In Verlander's eyes, it seems like a salary cap wouldn't do much to prevent the Dodgers from being the best team in baseball since they're well-run and have a lot of talent.

Is MLB going to implement a salary cap due to Dodgers' moves?

Ben Verlander's opinion is not necessarily popular around baseball right now. After winning it all and adding Roki Sasaki, Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates to the roster, the Dodgers seem poised for dominance. Some fans don't believe the 162-game regular season and playoffs will matter at all this year.

The Dodgers keep spending (Imagn)

They've called for something to be done, and since baseball is the only American sport without one, a salary cap is the logical addition. However, this is unlikely to happen.

It's what has made baseball so unique for years. There have been calls for a salary floor to increase spending from cheaper teams, but no such considerations have been made for a cap.

If anything, the next collective bargaining agreement may try to stop teams like the Dodgers from deferring so much of the contractual money so they do have to pay the fines for spending so much, but even that is no guarantee.
