Former Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. justified the Dodgers’ spending after they signed All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker.
Hairston says the Dodgers’ success is about more than just money, and that the club has a different culture around it compared to when he played for L.A.
“Was on the ‘12 team where MLB had to step in so we could get paid in April,” Hairston wrote via X. “Team was bought a few weeks later by a group that poured money into the Stadium, city & players. Titles didn’t just happen overnight. They created a culture where players like Ohtani & Teo etc wanted to come here.
